Warmth

April 9 (1914) was the latest in the year that Austin's temps dropped to 32 F.  Temps this year have been above average quite a bit - but not super hot.  So far we have not turned on the AC, but others did so a while back in the apartment complex.  The girls used the pool toys they got for Easter yesterday, but it was not as warm as I would have liked.  Bugs is in the middle of his springtime shedding.  The bluebonnets are starting to go to seed.  They get fuzzy pods that resemble soybeans.  We also started seeing Texas nightshade blossoms last week - I saw them last summer and fall, too.  Saw a horned lizard on the trails on Sunday.  Today I moved my lab experiments back to the third floor lab.  There still needs to be more renovations and moving stuff in the future.  Busy weekend for the Austin Police Department - a police officer was shot and killed, and in a separate incident, a police officer shot and killed someone, sparking racial tensions.
