Life is short, spring into action and live today’s beginning
A garden of asters of varying hues,
Crimson pinks and violet blues,
Blossoming in the hazy fall
Wrapped in autumn's lazy pall.
But early frost stole in one night,
And like a chilling, killing blight
It touched each pretty aster's head,
And now the garden's still and dead.
And all the lovely flowers that bloomed
Will soon be buried and entombed
In winter's icy shroud of snow;
But oh, how wonderful to know
That after winter comes the spring
To breathe new life in everything.
And all the flowers that fell in death
Will be awakened by spring's breath ...
For in God's plan both men and flowers
Can only reach "bright, shining hours"
By dying first to rise in glory
And prove again the Easter story.

GOOD EVENING!
I’m back from my trip and just wanted to pop in and say HAPPY EASTER to everyone.
The pictures above tell about my weekend and it was a good one for sure. It’ll be back to work tomorrow so I’ll see you in the morning !
As always your are all in my thoughts and prayers!
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Springtime awakens in many of us an energy to begin anew. Dreams and ideals that may have lain dormant for a time are recalled with fresh hope.
A Happy and Blessed Easter to you All.
Here comes Peter Cottontail
Hoppin' down the bunny trail,
Hippity hoppity, Easter's on its way
Bringin' ev'ry girl and boy
A basketful of Easter joy
Things to make your Easter
Bright and gay
He's got jelly beans for Tommy
Colored eggs for sister Sue
There's an orchid for your mommy
And an Easter bonnet too.
Oh! Here' comes Peter Cottontail
Hoppin' down the bunny trail
Hippity hoppity Happy Easter Day
Look at him hop and listen to him say,
"Try to do the things you should"
Maybe if you're extra good
He'll roll lots of Easter eggs your way
Here' comes Peter Cottontail
Hoppin' down the bunny trail
Hippity hoppity Happy Easter Day
Here' comes Peter Cottontail
Hoppin' down the bunny trail
Hippity hoppity Happy Easter Day
You'll wake up on Easter morning
And you'll know that he was there
When you find those choc'late bunnies
That he's hiding ev’rywhere,
Oh! Here' comes Peter Cottontail
Hoppin' down the bunny trail
Hippity hoppity Happy Easter Day.
May your day be filled with blessings
As new as Spring
As fragrant as flowers
As full as your heart can hold.

Thanks for sharing your pictures. It looks like you all had a wonderful time. Happy Easter to you too. We had a wonderful day with our families too. OH MY....I don't want to see anymore of that snow. I'm sure you probably don't want to see anymore either. It has been rather nippy here too, but NO SNOW! Thank the Lord!
