3/8: visiting

...the flowering plum trees in the woods on the ridge.  It is a good year for them, and Chris and I spotted many that we did not know about (or did not remember from 2021, the last unexpectedly robust plum year when we did a survey).

3/7: calculating

...midterm grades for 2 of my courses.

3/6: actually gasping

...when the blooming wild plum trees caught my eye this morning.

3/5: choosing words

...to include in my Greek / English etymology workshop tomorrow.

3/4: getting through

...more grading this evening than I thought I would.

3/3: reading

...Hawthorne's description of Shadow Brook and remembering being there with Chris.  Meeting up with that paragraph this evening gave me a boost I really needed.

3/2: tomato galette

...leftovers for dinner.  It was nice, at the end of a weird day, to have to make only a little salad to go with food I'd made over the weekend.

3/1: returning

...to our brownie experiments.  How long to bake them so that they're done but not overdone?  What counts as "just right?"  Today's time, 28 minutes, might be the answer.
