1st Day of 2012: Holly Bush near my House

Unrelated observation: Microsoft gave up on OLEDB and reinstated the ODBC as the main API to connect with data sources: http://tdwi.org/Articles/2012/03/27/SQL-Server-2012-End-of-Era.aspx

Young Plum tree blossoms for a 1st time in it its life in my back yard and 6 weeks ahead of schedule after 85F/29C in March 2012.

April 1st 2012: Azalea blossoms much earlier in 2012 thanks to warm snowless winter and warm spring.
