• Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers. I spent today gardening, planting & landscaping with my mom. #
• Made Alaskan king crab for Mother’s Day. Delicious! Thanks @northwesternsig @capt_andy @captjohnathan @crabwizard @JoshHarrisDC for dinner! #
• OK, enough with the pollen already. I wonder if it’s safe to actually snort Claritin. #AllergiesSuck #
• Sad to see that one of my elementary school classmates apparently chose a slightly less traditional career path. http://bit.ly/lEfMY6 #
• It isn’t Springtime until you go to a local carnival and eat some carnival food. Spring may now commence. #

Longwood Gardens has always been one of my favorite local day trips. I’ve been there a few times at Christmas and once a long time ago during the summer, but I’d never been there for tulip season. A few weeks ago when their tulips were in full bloom I went out there for the day. Almost a quarter million tulips is hard to descibe. Luckily a picture says a thousand words and I took plenty of photos.

You can view some of them in the photos section of my site, right here.

• Spent the day making corned beef and cabbage and the evening eating it. Happy Saint Patrick’s Day a few days early! #
• Happy Saint Patrick’s Day! Listening to Irish music all over today. Comcast ch. 401 at home, XM ch. 15 in the car, iPod at work. #
• Nobody beats Buca di Beppo’s tiramisu. Even a diabetic can’t resist its rummy goodness.http://bit.ly/B4bZH #
• 35 degrees and snowing. This is my kind of Spring! #

Today is the first day of spring. Usually I lament that it means no more winter and no more snow. Of course, today I drove to work in snow flurries and tomorrow night it’s supposed to snow again. Maybe this makes up for it being in the 60′s for half the winter!
