Free Comic Book Day

At Cliff Wright Library this morning, some free comic books were laid out for the taking.  It was free comic book day.  It's a chance for publishers to give away free samples.  Later that afternoon, we walked to 8th Street Comics (from Yamaha Music Centre) to get some more free comics.  One of them was just a 'trailer' for the graphic novel that would be coming out soon (Dinosaurs vs Aliens).  Disappointing.

This is my favorite time of year.  The hue of green on the trees right now is as Robert Frost describes:

Nature's first green is gold
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay. 

When the rain stops, I should take some pictures of the fresh spring aspen trees!  So far, 3 Russian mammoth sunflowers have sprouted from seeds I collected from last year's largest flower.  Hopefully, they'll be bountiful this year.
