I was able to get shots of the full moon this month! April's full moon is called the Pink Moon. This is because it is the time when pink Creeping Phlox is in bloom.
Pink — it was love at
first sight...
Pink — it's like red but not quite...

Our family came over today, and we had a nice Easter. I had gotten the girls these mini pinatas, they were so cute! I filled them with candy.
This photo shows you how small they were.
I made a tray of things to nibble on during the afternoon.
I also got a giant cookie.
It was a nice day, so we went out and played Croquet.
Then the girls got their baskets.
Then as they were leaving, we took pictures. Me with the girls and Phil.
And me with the girls and our son Mike.
My heart sings with
the robins in the rain.
For I remember it is Easter morn,
And life and love and peace are all new born,
And joy has triumphed over loss and pain.

“The angel spoke to
the women: “There is nothing to fear here. I know you’re looking for Jesus, the
One they nailed to the cross. He is not here. He was raised, just as he said.
Come and look at the place where he was placed.”
Time for my yearly drive around town to look at any Easter decorations. For some reason, there were hardly any this year. This house uses the unattractive back of their bush to display decoration throughout the year.
A pretty Easter egg wreath
Mardi Gras instead of Easter.
A very crooked rugged cross
A cute front door
And a rabbit showing their address
"Easter,"
all her birds are singing,
Easter, and the souls of men,
Lying long in strife and shadow,
Take the light of heaven again.

The Big Cat is all dressed up and ready for Easter. His outfit of choice this year is a pastel egg necklace and a simple spring flower crown.
“Our Lord has written
the promise of the resurrection, not in books alone but in every leaf in
springtime.”

It's time to show you some of my Easter decorations. This may be a longer post than usual, but I couldn't figure out what to leave out.

I just have to indulge in a bit of bragging. Shortly after her 16th birthday last week, our granddaughter Anne Marie was inducted into the National Honor Society! Her grade point average is 4.2.
Washington D.C. just had it's Cherry Blossom Festival. I always try to post it every year, from our T.V., of course. There was so much ...
