We had a pleasant time last night at the taping of Wait, Wait Don’t Tell Me. To the extent that I ever thought about it I had assumed shows like this really were done “live”, and maybe taped for rebroadcast. But it’s really more like the way a TV show is taped before a live audience.
So it’s not live, unless you are in the studio audience. Later they do a little “cutting and pasting” to polish up the show for broadcast. We stayed while they redid several parts. For instance while interviewing Larry Hagman, Peter Sagal made the statement that the actor was not a real Texan. I guess he objected to that since he really is from Texas. Anyway they had Peter Sagal read that part of the script again with the statement taken out.
It was warm enough to stroll around the SMU campus without a jacket last night. Today it was sunny and clear. The irises are starting to bloom now and redbud trees are putting on a good show.

WOW, mine are just about 8″ high.
March here in St. Louis goes back & forth between warm and cold………some flowers are beginning to peek through the ground- the irises and the peonies……..I think it is too early to clean out the beds - we could still get some winter type weather and I would not want to clean out the beds too soon……….Since my butterfly garden sustained damage from summer hailstorms last year I am now trying to figure out what to dig out & what to plant this spring………had a terrible influx of aphids last summer on the milkweed- tried a soapy solution on them last year and it caused a disgusting look to the milkweed - what is the best way to take care of the aphids?????? Had a very low sighting of monarchs last year - was it due to the poor appearance of the milkweed? I am eager to have a good butterfly garden this year as I had some not so good looking pictures last year………….I am still such a novice at this…….any suggestions would be appreciated………
Heaven glimpsed in a blue flower.
What a magnificent photo!
So pretty! I used to have a teacher in the 5th grade - Mrs. Vanlandingham, who raised all varieties of iris’s. I have just a few in my beds - maroon with yellow throats. Every spring when these lovelies appear, I salute Mrs. Van.
