Morwenna!!!!
I am sitting at work on my lunch hour listening to
Two Steps from Hell's album
Invincible on headphones. Epic music, so gorgeous. Now I notice when I hear their music being used for movie trailers and games. The choral parts alone sends shivers down my spine. Makes you feel like you should get on your charger and ride out on a quest to slay a dragon or evil necromancer.
Borin, I am overjoyed that you and Jess might be able to make it this year. We will just take it as a given.
We've been getting some nice spring rains, some wind but nothing dangerous. So horrible about the tornados in Arkansas. Everything went south of here. Jill was traveling back from a dog show in St. Louis that day but managed to just skim north of the main storm cells. Everything is finally greening up. Like someone painted a fine mist of green on the trees and bushes. I noticed that some of the orchards are even starting to flower. Just hope they don't get their little buds froze off by a late frost/freeze. The fruit farmers operate on a knife's edge around here. Its usually the peaches that are most prone to getting froze out. With the intense cold this winter and plenty of moisture, the apples should be loading down the trees.
Went with my neighbor Carol to see Winter Soldier again this past Sunday

. Now my cousin wants to go again. She and I are bargaining over who gets the Winter Soldier and who gets Kili.

I think shared custody would be in order. I guess my cousin, Carol, Jill , Margaret and myself are just going to have to have a Marvel-ous movie night.

with X-Men, Avengers, Thor, Captain America, Iron Man, etc. Have to be after Winter soldier is out on DVD as well as new X-Men movie.
Vana, I love dogwood especially when there is a whole groves of it blooming in the understory of the woods. I do wish you and Ryan could make it this year, you have been sorely missed.
I still have to get my pond drained and cleaned out. I told my neighbor it's like the elephant in the room. I try to avoid acknowledging it and pretend its not there. But, I know I have to address it soon. I want to get the pond back to looking as it did during the first
MOOT. I've let it get too overgrown. I look at pictures of how it looked 9 or 10 years ago and I realize I really need to get it back in shape.
Did you see they have registered a different name for the next Hobbit film. They've gone from There and Back Again (which they want to use as an over arching title for all three films) and its now going to be called Battle of the Five Armies. Much as I liked There and Back Again I can see this makes more sense as that was the title of Bilbo's book that covered the story from beginning to end. They did have some good tongue-in-cheek alternative titles on TORN. My favorite was The Beorn Ultimatum

. Then there was 2Smaug:2Furious as well as Raiders of the Lost Arkenstone.
well lunch is over so I have to get back to work.
