The plum trees came into bloom while I was away.*

Did the cherry trees seem to bloom in more distinct waves this year -- pink, then white, then puffball pink? It seemed like it to me -- maybe it's just that Cook Street Village blooms differently than James Bay, where I remember streets of pale and bright mixed, leading to various vague internal ramblings about aesthetic juxtapositions during various vague external ramblings through its streets.

The plum trees* are also pink (or white) but a much more satisfying pink, darker and more lipsticky without ever being in danger of becoming red.

There is a strange message on our voicemail from a hotel in New Brunswick. [livejournal.com profile] inlandsea?

*I think they are plum trees. They look like cherry trees, only not. Actually, I have no idea what they are, but for the purposes of making me seem like an observant fan of the natural, let's assume plum trees. Thank you.

But it is a fun way to know things, especially for us OCD types in the audience. I loved horticulture school - wish I could have done it for four years rather than just one!

Mass of green - nothing wrong with that either of course, but I don't know, I guess I like knowing what stuff is. I like looking clever, which will be no surprise to anyone I'm sure.
