Sunny Day, Chasing the Clouds Away

Some randomly collected thoughts:

Finally, finally, finally, it is Spring! Spring has sprung! We have sunshine, and, despite the fact that we're still attempting to dry out from a 4-day Nor'easter that flooded our neighbors, our street and the corner store, it feels GLORIOUS! (It helps that I don't have to use a Shop-Vac in my own apartment.)

In a hilarious development, the little patch of grass outside my bedroom windows has a flourishing crop of crocuses and whatever those cute little yellow spring flowers are. Regular followers of the LegalEagleSaga will know that this little patch of grass has been used by some neighborhood dogs (canine and otherwise) as a place for somewhat less savory activities than gardening. Maybe this is why it is so fertile!?

I also caught some hooligans smoking the green stuff out behind my building (for the second time). If they lived here, I wouldn't care, but these are not my neighbors, and I don't like it when I go to take my trash out and find several seedy characters loitering behind the building. It's sort of scary to round the corner where I usually am watching out for rodents and be confronted by three tall men. (Note - it's a dead end behind our building, probably why it's an attractive location for illegal activities, but also kind of scary to be stuck back there with freaky people) Maybe that makes me a square, but I don't like it. Last time I kind of just ran away, but this time I gave them a solid LegalEagle glare and asked them if they were lost. In retrospect, that's a pretty lame response, but it was the best I could come up with - I was startled!

Finally, I would like to give a shout-out to Easter candy. I think it is the best of all the seasonal candies. And peeps are a special treat.
