icepixieI had an especially cruel dream last night. I dreamed that Hem's new album came out, and I woke up still humming a snippet of one of the songs. Knowing my brain, it's probably part of a song I long ago forgot, but still, it's intriguing. If I were a musician, I'd make it into a melody.
Back in the real world, the new album won't be out until the end of this year, if that. However, they've said that they've written/recorded so much material for it (something like twenty-five songs and counting) that it's going to be split into two albums, and with any luck, they'll both come out at the same time, or at least within a couple months of each other. (For context: The first proposed release date for this album was late 2009, so I've been waiting quite some time.)

For Easter, some flower pictures!
We have a robins' nest! That is the gutter right outside my room. A pair of robins usually nests in the trellis right next to that gutter, but apparently this year they got smart and moved to a more stable place.
Azaleas.
Carolina (or "Swamp") Jasmine vine.
Yellow iris. We have purple as well, and our neighbors have white, but the recent storm bent most of them over into rather unattractive positions.
Clematis and bunny.
Some kind of pink flower I don't recall the name of. And oak pollen. (I've had to sweep a carpet of those little brown strands off my car anytime I wanted to go somewhere for the past month. Thank god the oaks have finally gotten their leaves. Now if the maples would just stop sending that sticky yellow pollen out over everything, that would be great.)
Lingering dogwood flowers.
Our well-behaved honeysuckle.
In contrast, the honeysuckle bush making the corner of my street look rather overgrown and post-apocalyptic. Apparently it has no interest in heeding the stop sign it is currently eating.
Longer view. This bush is ginormous.
Even the ivy in our yard is trying to take over the world. (Seriously, I think if all humans disappeared overnight, the south would be covered ankle-deep in a combination of kudzu, trumpet vine, honeysuckle, and ivy in a matter of less than a decade.)
Skink on the wall!

I don't think I've seen an apple tree around here of late, but if they're like our other fruit trees, that was about a month ago. (I wish the fruit tree blooms lasted longer. The cherries are so pretty, and they're gone in a week.)
