Blue ice? Isn't that what falls from airplanes?
Any way something else seems to have already cornered the name.

US Military budget FYI '09: $737,000,000,000
US Dept of Health and Human Services FYI '10: $78,400,000,000

Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron.
- Dwight D. Eisenhower, 16 April 1953

no several types of crocuses
were out for a few days before
the irises came up.

these irises were supposed
to be very early, but i
planted them a few weeks
late. i would not go by a
first year record, but this
way i have a baseline record.

hyacynths are starting to
show some color. that means
the bees are going to be
about soon.

gnomes sent "be home soon" postcard
by carrier pigeon.

sub zero here a couple weeks ago too:

i'm sure there were many who
froze their tushes off...

it used to be much more open
around but the edges have filled
in and grown up. we were looking
at some old journals with pictures
when it all started 14 years ago.
quite a change. eek!
