Fleeting

So despite the fact that Rick Winkel withdrew from the Circuit Court Clerk race quite some time ago...he still won.  And Barb Wysocki won over Lori Hansen by 16 freaking votes.  How many people vote solely by familiarity with a name? Should we require a quick IQ test and a quiz on the candidates before people vote?  I support  you voting for anyone you believe in....I truly do....but voting without knowledge...just going 'oh hey, I've heard that name before....'.  Geesh.  Maybe we should skip this whole 'get out the vote' thing.

Sigh.

Onward.

The cherry blossoms are blooming at Japan House and it is incredible.  What an incredible gift these fleeting blossoms are. Fifty cherry trees were donated in 2008---this is the most incredibly display yet....

Our ornamental grasses at home are already up...amazing.  It's going to be an interesting year.....
