May have been a little late on my trees blooming. The two plum trees in the backyard are starting to bloom now. Expecting the maple trees to follow suit in the next week of so at the latest.

One of the perils of unseasonably warm temperatures.

@Fatman17 , how have the temps been in Karachi?

Our winter is over. Morning temperature around 30*c and evenings are still cool around 21*c. Ceiling fans use has started. Some are already using their air-conditioning.

LOL.......sounds just like PHX. Couple friends of mine down there complaining they've already turned their A/C on. We still have the heater on at night.

I was at the Vatican last August and there's a Burger King right outside the wall (yes, there's a "King Kong" wall around it.. Trump should check it out).


Actually another one has recently opened up on the other side



Geez...even a McDonalds too right outside the wall

The funniest one however was the McDonald's across from the Louvre in Paris..it was perpetually packed...

McDonalds...popular!! C’est pas possible! Mais non! Non mais j’y crois pas! N’importe quoi! Tu plaisantes? Sérieux?! C’est une blague?
Translation: It's not possible! But no! No, but I don’t believe it! Anything! Are you kidding? Seriously?! Is this a joke?

What kind of plums?

The big round ones or the

smaller bluish-purple oval ones?

Tigers won their first Spring Training game.

One concern is the number of throwing errors by the Tigers.

Looking at the scores across the MLB, batters are doing very well against pitchers not likely to make the opening day roster.

I have one of each. The smaller one just popped up one day and we let it grow.
