The weed tree isn’t a weed tree, it’s a plum tree, and it finally got pruned.  The birds, squirrels, and I cheer!  Now it is slowly filling with white blossoms.

People who always says hello and start to run.  I say hello back & go my way.  If I turn back again, I see they are no longer in a rush to get somewhere.  Very annoying! Like when you meet someone accidently on your way to somewhere else, they make a point of saying loudly, “I can’t stop to talk right now.”  Did I indicate by my hello I wanted to talk? How annoying! I get a phone call, only to be told that the speaker only has a minute to say hello before going elsewhere.  Annoying! I go to the Genius Counter at Apple and am told that I only get 15 minutes, five of which are taken up by the genius telling me why it would be better if I called the on-line help next time. Truly annoying!  I read an article about visiting India, and once again, I am not amused. Annoying!  I’m told brightly I have no accent.  No comment.  People who turn to check the veracity of people who pretend to be rushing while saying hello.  Annoying!
