Welcome, Spring!
Today is the Vernal Equinox, the beginning of spring.
A fun fact about spring: In the pagan days of Germany, the “Spring Month” was named after the goddess Ēostre (or Ostara). She is the namesake of the festival of Easter.
Hello spring, time to crack open a window and keep on writing.
Someone PLEASE let New England know that our calendar says it’s Spring?
This is the number one thing wrong with Boston, no fields full of poppies for me to roll around in.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging is a medical imaging technique to acquire images from the human body —vegetables and fruits also =) —, and it is completely harmless (no radiation). If well applied, you can virtually scan any part of the human body.
Those scans were made, when I was in college, being able to play around with an MRI. Yeah MRIs are fun =)
Something tells me one Ms. Georgia O’Keeffe would appreciate these.
