A Busy Month

Today begins Poetry Month. Always a favorite of mine.


It is also, as most of us are aware, the month of Passover, and of Easter.


But it also begins National Autism Awareness Month. Autism is a much misunderstood and often feared thing, experienced by many thousands of people. This should be a good time for us to read and talk and learn more about something that effects so many wonderful people among us. - Our friend, Linda, has a post today in which she refers to it as "Autism Acceptance Month" I like that so much better.

Our Easter

Hope you all had a wonderful Easter and/or Passover. We had a lovely weekend.
I stayed home because of a head cold. Didn't want to join the group at Joe's because his little grandson was there, and he didn't need to catch my cold. I know I couldn't have resisted hugging him and holding him. Nor did I go as invited to Lisa's for dinner, for much the same reason, but talked to her on the phone. But Rita and Joe did come over to see me later.


Joe always brings me Easter flowers. This year he brought me a big pot of lavender mums. Beautiful!


Rita and I still exchange Easter baskets, complete with chocolate bunnies. Guess we'll never grow out of that. Daryl told me to take pictures of the baskets, so, just for her, here they are.

The one that Rita gave me, on the right. Besides the obligatory chocolate bunny and M and M's, it included a cute bunny inside that green fabric egg, Peeps, and a cute kitchen timer, which I desperately need, since lately I keep forgetting when I put something on the stove.



And the one that the Bunny brought to Rita, on the left, full of things like small writing tablets, Scotch tape, a paper cutter, a big round cookie, dried apricots, eggs full of jelly beans, and a little stuffed bunny.


And I got a bonus. Rita also gave me a new sweat shirt. I really love it! What do you think?

"Egrets? I've had a few" - Cracks me up.





I also sent a little email to California this morning.







And just because I think it's so pretty, and because she made it
herself, here is an e-card that a friend sent to me a few days ago. Isn't it lovely?



Thank you so much, Debbie.











Well, as I said, I hope that all of you had a very wonderful holiday celebration.
