Our pear tree is flowering.

Mike took this on Friday morning before leaving for work. My tiny tree is bursting into flower! One of the highlights of my week.

I want to write about my day, but it feels strange in light of the events in Japan.
This situation with the nuclear reactors is nerve wracking.
I can't imagine a worse sensation than an earthquake. There's nowhere to get away, nothing to do about it. I'll take every scary tornado season over that. At least with the tornado, there are places to hide. The sight of the skyscrapers in Tokyo swaying make me feel a little faint. (I know they were doing what they were supposed to and fuck yeah for engineers and building codes that save so many lives. Still, seeing something that large and supposedly solid moving like a tree in a strong wind...)
