Happy Easter!

April is Poetry Month

April is Poetry Month.

I thought I'd dip my toe in the poetry waters and try to share a poem or two this month.

First, another reproduction vintage postcard from 

The Easter Rabbit Postcard Book published by Darling and Company, Seattle.

Thank you to the lovely Beth for hosting Postcard Friendship Friday each week.

THE RABBIT

Brown bunny sits inside his burrow

'Till everything is still,

Then out he slips along the furrow

Or up the grassy hill.

He nibbles all about the bushes

Or sits to wash his face,

But at a sound he stamps, and rushes

At a surprising pace.

You see some little streaks and flashes,

A last sharp twink of white,

As down his hidy-hole he dashes

And disappears from sight.

Good Morning!

Auditions are being held

for you to be yourself.

Apply within.

Hippity Hoppity!

It's looking more and more like Spring and Easter.

The bunnies are here!

It's time to use my Emma Bridgewater spring time tea mugs.

I've had the Tulip mug for sometime, but the Bunny Rabbit mug is new this year.

I do think tea tastes better in these mugs! 

Yes.

There she is.

My World: A Study in Bloom

Most of you know I've been complaining this week about the cold I have.

When I don't feel well, I don't want to do much.

Staring out the window into the garden is about all I've wanted to do.

So, I decided to take photos of the amaryllis as it started to bloom.

I'm not good at keeping track of the names of my amaryllis.

This one is the first to bloom in Musashi's Garden this year.

I took photos every day, sometimes several times a day

to document its journey from bud to bloom.

I got up one morning and WOW!

The journey was done.

A beautiful amaryllis in full bloom.

Thank you to Mary at Mosaic Monday,

The  Tablescaper for Seasonal Sunday, and 

 the wonderful hosts at Our World,

and Sunlit Sunday.

Wishing you WELL and much JOY!
