  Well, it started raining in central North Carolina on Monday and it is 
Wednesday evening now. It is forecast to stop raining sometime on 
Friday. Over 2 inches (5 cm) of rain so far here in Raleigh. No pollen 
is left in the pine trees. Oak, Maples, etc. are all finished blooming, 
I think. Leaves are popping out and the hostas are mostly up and leafing 
out. All the daffodils and narcissi are gone. Dogwoods and Redbuds are 
in bloom throughout the woodlands. Mosquitos are not out yet so we can 
sit on the deck, have some nice wine, and watch the birds at the 
feeders. It was a long winter.
  Never mind.
