April Showers

It's a gray, rainy, April day. I have to remember, though, that April showers will bring May flowers. In the mean time, I am enjoying my windowsill plants.

This South African Squill that I bought for $3 at last year's bonsai festival at the National Arboreteum seems to be growing well.



I had no idea it would flower, too.



Similarly, the baby jade I got at the same time is also fairing well. I've already had to cut it back on several ocassions, and it looks like it might be time for a trim again soon.

Port City Brewing

I was working at Starbucks a couple of weekends ago, catching up with a long time regular customer who told me about Port City Brewing. I had yet to hear about this new brewery just blocks away. Better late than never, I guess. Out of the four I tasted, I found the wit particually yummy. I'll definitely be on the lookout for it around town!
