    Easter morning

    The Easter bunny is shy mommy, And doesn’t like to talk That’s the reason she runs away Before the light is up She wants to share her chocolate But has so much to do So she goes and hops away Before the night is through Kids devour their chocolates Until they feel rather ill Then…

    Rebirth

    The sun confronts a blade of grass Sparring with the dew; A robin leaps, its prey in sight The earthworm in danger new The coldness of the night is past As light replaces dark Life awakes on a sleepy earth Amidst winter’s landscape stark Spring is here; hear, hear, rejoice!

    They’re baaaaaack

    Although technically a short week, it feels like one of the longest on record. That tends to happen when Monday is a holiday. It’s as though by taking out one day, the rest of the week decides to cram all of the work into the days remaining. So while Monday was off, I spent most…

    Another cold week has set into my bones so deeply that this morning, when I went outside to start my car I thought it was warm at first. I went as far to tell my husband that he probably didn’t need to start the car then I checked the temperature and realized warmer to me…
