Murray Has Left the (School) Building
Murray sat for his final final last night. He thinks he did OK, but not great. The professor has a little grammar trouble, apparently, which can be really important in responding to questions of matters legal. But he got through it, and barring (haha) any freaky expectations on the part of his teacher, will don his tam and hood and receive his Juris Doctor degree come June 8. He'll also achieve one of his lifelong desires: to be officially and accurately addressed as "Doc Cock"--that's as in rooster, of course. We're both still a little dazed with the idea that he won't have to be in school any more. Right now, I think I'm more elated than he is, but I'm sure he'll catch up once he lands a job. (He's still teaching til mid-May, then studying full time until the bar in July...)

The mighty fir falls
This fir shadowed our garden and Don's wood pile, so down it comes. Raymond, Don's pro faller friend, did the deed due to the closeness of power lines, my studio, and our garage.

Send Good Vibes to CA, Please, Thanks
Mur's taking a final tonight, his second-to-last test ever of his law school career. Please send all available positive energy his way from 6:00 - 9:00 p.m. Pacific time, c/o Empire Law School. Thanks! Next wave of good vibes will be welcome a week from tomorrow, so please start saving up.
pink lady's slipper orchid
Don spotted this lovely lady. I couldn't find any others, but didn't look very hard.

More tulips
My fancy parrot tulips were just a one-year flash in the pot, but my Queen of the Night bulbs are proliferating. I seem to be on a purple kick this year--ranunculus, violets, freesia, tulips, all coming up in shades of purple.
