Friday in Spring

It is Friday, once again. Benjamin has his last classes of the semester today, and there are two philosophy department BBQs this weekend. We are planning to go for our first bike ride of the year tomorrow (we could have gone a while ago, but Benjamin needed a new inner tube for a tire, and by the time he got around to fixing it, it rained every weekend...) and we are planning to go to the Rochester Lilac Festival. All the lilacs are blooming, just in time - apparently the really warm weather we had a couple of weeks ago, followed by more normal cooler weather was perfect for the blooms. Lilacs are one thing I will definitely miss in Arkansas...maybe I can find a version that tolerates warmer winters.

The trees all have leaves now, and the lawn needs mowing. Yup, spring is here.
