9 lb, 10 oz? Great time to be a grandmother, instead of a mother!
Congrats all around.

My good news is coming fast and furious... If collecting grandchildren were a competition I might be in the running for first place in the 100-yard dash.
Two and a half years ago we had none. In a couple of weeks, with the arrival of identical twin girls, we will be in humble adoration of five — yes 5 — grandchildren.
Growing old has a shining silver lining...

Congratulations, Jayne. My granddaughter is the light in my eyes and another one is due in August. It's hard to believe I will now have to share that adoration but I felt the same way when my second child was born years ago.

Wow. Congratulations to all of you. That's a lot of small people with cool poet grandparents!

I am not cool. I am just plain neat. Just kidding. But watch how I do this now.
See? Thanks.

Allen, that is wonderfully super-ambiguous and extremely neat (and oblique). I bet you know about slide rules, too, as well as multiple grandchildren.
My good news is that the quince tree is in blossom. And that means quince jam in September!

My good news is that I begin teaching my own section of college-level Shakespeare tomorrow. I've taught other literature courses, but this will be my first time teaching Shakespeare specifically, and I'm delighted by it.

Driving home, the apple blossom just out in the orchards, the tiny man in the too-high swaying antique tractor, the hedgerows full to bursting of waist-high buttercups. And isn’t it just like lemon-juice squeezed on a cut, that compressed unruly happiness when you least expect it?

Fliss, we cross-posted. The guinea-pig gallery sounds gorgeous. I hope you share a link.
