I think it's time for a blue hyacinth:
 2953. ronski - 4/18/2005 9:26:30 PM Again, at my Mom's, Louise de Colligny daffodils. An early pink variety, once called the "orchid of daffodils," fragrant, and, sadly, no longer available in the trade.
 2954. alistairConnor - 4/18/2005 9:37:27 PM Our stream is high, overflowing into the field -- after a cumulative 30 cm of snow over the weekend, and heavy rain today.
We'll get some alluvial sand and stones in the paddock, for free.
Today the farrier was scheduled to come, at 6PM or so, to tend to the pony with the foot condition. I went to get the ponies after work, I was worried about how I was going to get them to cross the stream. I needn't have worried, they had broken out. Electric fence shorts out completely in this weather, it didn't take them long to work that out.
OK, so we went half a mile up the road to where they usually hang out when they're on the lam -- friends have five ponies. Sure enough, they have been corralled there. We halter them and start plodding home, and the farrier drives past. We flag him down, and he does the hooves in the barn at the friends' place, it's a much better location for it, especially considering the rain.
After which, they invite us to stay for dinner, and inevitable discussion of the European constitution. The ponies also get a free night in a dry stall. That gives me tomorrow evening to think up some more convincing fencing. 2955. ronski - 4/18/2005 9:39:54 PM Flowers on the red maple (Acer rubrum; or swamp maple) trees, near my Mom's. By us, only some slight budding. The latest I've seen them flower in years. It's as if they still can't shake off the chill of March.

Love the chameleon, mags! 2970. Magoseph - 4/26/2005 6:36:53 PM Extraordinary creature is that particular chameleon and I still think that it might just be a clever graphic.
