Not ready

Oh, crud, the CT scan is today. I'd been thinking it was next week. Not really ready to know anything, feeling off-center with as much as has been going on.

It's been gorgeous out both yesterday and today. The sky was clear and the stars were out in force when I walked home last night, and the ground was frozen when I got up.  Just when you think winter is over...it's been a pretty non-eventful winter in this corner of the country (not to tempt fate.) The cherry and plum trees are either already blooming or preparing themselves for their moment. The transition from a hard lifeless twig to the softness of leaves and flowers always intrigues me.
