It took 'em four days, but the hummingbirds are here. The first lizard of the year has been spotted, there are honeybees (well a honeybee, but I assume she'll tell all her friends) in the clover, fuzzy black jumping spiders abound, and a green caterpillar has been interrogated. Unsucessfully, I might add. Then again, it probably wasn't feeling very threatened by someone holding carefully, telling it was cute, consulting a (pathetically small) book, and asking it what it was. It was eventually put back and all agreed that a bigger book was necessary. (The caterpillar again declined comment, tho)

But I have hummingbirds, so nyah.

Looks like the reluctant nomad will be exploring four states next week, starting at noon-ish tomorrow. *grumble* Looks like I'll be a Strohwitwer until next weekend. Maybe I'll get some writing done and learn more Japanese.

I think the rodents are probably thawed...I nearly forgot them. You probably shouldn't eat and read my journal entries, in case you hadn't figured that one out yet. Back to chores...
