\nItem #1: Ours are 3 weeks behind<\/span>
\nIn the western part of Washington State, Daffodils have indicated spring just arrived. There are 59 photos here;<\/p>\n

Is yellow your color?<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

A small article here and more photos: in the Skagit Valley<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

This next page will show how to pronounce “Skagit” and other Washington place names. It also points out that the State’s name is not “WARSH-ing-tun.”

Item #2: D. C. Cherry blossoms<\/span>
\nOver in the other Washington (D.C., that is), the Cherry blossoms reach their fullness this week. The weather is not great \u2013 a chance of rain, snow, and wind \u2013 on Saturday, but Sunday looks better. Next Thur. & Fri. will be nice \u2013 so says the NWS.<\/p>\n

Item #3: Huh?<\/span><\/p>\n

I read this article:
\n Bush Tucker<\/strong><\/a>, and still hadn’t a clue.<\/p>\n

The meaning is “. . . any food native to Australia and used as sustenance by the original inhabitants, . . .<\/em>”
\nOther people use the term \u2013 I don’t get out much \u2013 but it was new to me. It reminded me of Euell Gibbons’ Stalking the Wild Asparagus<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Item #4: Table tennis<\/span>
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Anna is an 11-year-old from Wales. Her claim to fame is that she can wipe your butt in a game of table tennis.<\/p>\n

Item #5: Only the birds know<\/span>\"\"
\nFinally, what’s this? \u2192
\nIt is a bird’s beak.
\nYes, in the dark under ultra-violet light.
\nThis is a Puffin, but other birds have bills that light up.
\nWhy would this be?<\/strong><\/a> <\/p>\n

Researchers are working on the issues: Which birds? Why? Who benefits? What else don’t we know?<\/p>\n

And that, for this week, is the not so nasty news.
