New Hunger-Fighting Blog
I started a new blog last week to make learning about the Ventura CROP Hunger Walk a little easier: venturacropwalk.blogspot.com

First Day of Spring
The Vernal Equinox happened at 10:48 this morning
According to StarDate Online, this happened when the sun moved across the equator into the Northern Hemisphere. This also means every day will grow longer until the Summer Solstice on June 20. Mmmmm, wonderful! The bulbs continue to bloom while new ones are opening. Although tomorrow is the actual full moon (in the afternoon), I got a nice shot of the almost-full moon this evening.

Daylight Saving Time Began Today
It started with a beautiful pink and orange-colored sky (sunrise was at 6:15!) and ended with an equally colorful sunset - at 7pm!
In between we had a gorgeous sunny and mild day with temps getting up to the mid-seventies this afternoon. I dug out a little more of the pond but there is still too much water at the bottom to get a good foothold for digging.
I spent most of the day after church relaxing in the sun or doing light weeding and watering while taking pictures of the newest tulips and daffodils.

Digging Deeper
I started a project this afternoon that will hopefully keep future fish out of reach of any raccoons. I drained and took the original 12"/30" shell out of the ground and started digging the area deeper. I hope to keep the footprint the same but dig down to five feet. Then I'll line the hole with liner and put the shell at the bottom of the hole before replacing the rocks and plants.

Leap Day
I can't believe I didn't take a picture on a day that only comes every four years, but I was busy gardening and cleaning out email on my day off. So to commemorate this special day, I've created a small collection of pictures of the bulbs that are blooming in the front yard. I used this cool widget I learned about in my MCLS Web 2.0 class - just click on the picture to shuffle through the stack:
