I am told there is a My Little Pony role-playing game. However, I haven't actually looked at it, and my informant points out that it's April Fools Day. Feh. (He told me this after I posted the first version of this entry.)

We saw a violet today, and two or three open blossoms on a weeping cherry. Yes, it's the first of April, there are still snowdrops, the cherry isn't that surprising, but the violet was. (There are two other buds on the same violet plant, and [livejournal.com profile] cattitude--who figured out where to look and found this violet--had already spotted a bud elsewhere in the neighborhood. Also new in flower today, wood sorrel.

No red-winged blackbirds at the salt marsh yet, but we saw two egrets.

The lawns are full of daffodils, dandelions, and robins. A magnolia is in full bloom near the violet and sorrel, and there are noticeable flower buds on a lilac there. All the forsythia are opening, and some have already sprouted leaves.

It was a fine warm morning and early afternoon, sunshine alternating with a few raindrops. It's cooled a little, probably down to the mid-sixties (call it 18 C) from 74°F (23) while Cattitude and I were out getting lunch and looking for flowers.

Daylight Saving Time begins tomorrow at 1 a.m./2 a.m. local time in most of Canada and the United States.

Daylight Saving Time is not observed in Hawaii, American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, or the state of Arizona (with the exception of the Navajo Indian Reservation, which does observe DST). Note that Indiana has changed policy and now observes DST. ("Observe" is the terminology used over at www.time.gov, which gave me that list of exceptions.) If you're not in Indiana, your computer clocks will probably take care of themselves; if you're in Indiana and haven't reset your timezone or applied relevant system patches, your computer may need to be told the new time.

According to the CBC, which I think I trust, the areas in Canada that don't use Daylight Saving Time are Quebec east of 63°, most of Saskatchewan, and "small pockets of Ontario and British Columbia." (Note that this CBC page's information on Indiana is out of date.)
