And even more ramblings

 Cory Booker must have watched a lot of Frank Capra movies …

Go Cory!

I’m still upset about the cat sanctuary fire.  I’d love to take a foster, but I can’t.  So I sent a donation.  They’re going to relocate the surviving cats to a farm upstate.  In fact, that was the plan even before the fire.  So sad …

Another walk, more blooms …

The forsythia are lovely, aren’t they?  My father loved forsythia.  He planted forsythia at the house we lived in when I was very little.  He also planted a pussy willow, and some hyacinths and tulips.  We moved out of that house when I was 8… our second house had a lot of trees, including dogwoods…we planted rhododendrons and azaleas and hydrangeas, but no forsythia…but the family next door planted forsythia, so we got to see the yellow blossoms.

We’re going wine shopping today.  Wine is an important part of the Passover Seder, we are expected to drink four cups of wine during the course of the service.  I have several wines in mind — we have varying preferences among the guests.  One of our guests cannot drink alcohol, so we will provide grape juice as well.

Whatever else  I buy, there’s one wine that is practically a requirement.

It’s … how shall I put this?  It’s very sweet.  Perfect for making charoset, a ceremonial food, but real wine lovers would find it undrinkable. So we will choose a few others.

I’m really starting to look forward to the holiday.
