“There are two worlds: the world we can measure with line and rule, and the world that we feel with our hearts and imagination.” ― Leigh Hunt, English critic, essayist, poet, writer
Personal Commentary/Observation
Had a nice quiet 4-day weekend because I had some "bonus" hours at work that I needed to use (or lose) before May. Plenty of yardwork (including treatment for dandelions and clover) some minor fencing (the neighbor had some warped and broken slats), and we got some copper nails to try and kill off the hackberry tree trying to grow amidst our crepe-myrtle. CJB and I had a very nice breakfast yesterday at The Great Egg. I started a Sherlock re-watch and then turned CJB on to Terry Pratchett after watching "The Color of Magic" on Prime. She said she probably couldn't read the books, but the TV series was kewl. If she's up for it we'll try watching "Hogfather" next. And so ... it is back to work today.
