Waiting for cherry blossoms
Got to meet the owner of the laundromat in Ellendale today. Nice older gentleman.
Good day to hang clothes on the line. It was sunny and windy. Not severely windy, though.
Ah! Heck Plug for zorichan
The road signs have been getting "Exempt" signs added to them. I don't know why at the moment.
Cherry tree's buds are popping. won't be too long before it gets its leaves. Got some sprouting of the seeds we planted.
Time for bed. *hugs*
They examined the document for her distinct chirography.

Did you know?
Some might argue that handwriting is a dying art in this age of electronic communication. Nevertheless, we have a fancy word for it. The root "graph" means "writing" and appears in many common English words such as "autograph" and "graphite." The lesser-known root "chir," or "chiro-," comes from a Greek word meaning "hand" and occurs in words such as "chiromancy" ("the art of palm reading") and "enchiridion" ("a handbook or manual"), as well as "chiropractic." "Chirography" first appeared in English in the 17th century and probably derived from "chirograph," a now rare word referring to a legal document or indenture. "Chirography" should not be confused with "choreography," which refers to the composition and arrangement of dances.
