Happy Easter!! All day I’ve been
singing (mostly in my head, but sometimes in the car): Lo in the grave he lay,
Jesus my Savior. Waiting the coming day, Jesus my Lord. Up from the grave he
arose! With a mighty triumph o’er his foes! He arose a victor from the dark
domain, and he lives forever with his saints to reign…” And then I just sort of
hum because I don’t know the alto & the soprano gets out of my range and
then I get all nostalgic about this soprano (Murial, called Merle because I
guess we couldn’t say Murial?) in my home church who could knock this out of
the ballpark… You get the picture. :)
Anyway, this week we made up for
the lack of pictures last week! There’s lots of wild (& not so wild) life.
It was also Holy Week, which kept me quite occupied all week.

Spring!
I took a walk outside today.

March 31st
Back yardigans…
I met another Alter Guild lady
at church today & we set things up for the Maundy Thursday service.
The moon! (To see other pictures
of the moon, including the eclipse, check out Dr. M’s post here).
Wednesday,
April 1st
I sat outside on our new swing
and crocheted for a while.
I love the series of pictures
Dr. M took of these ducks. Go here
to see more of them.
Cows, and a goose that would
have appreciated being able to groom itself in peace. Ha!
Dove at the cement pond…
I walked around the
neighborhood. The Easter Bunny wasn’t quite
ready for action yet.

April 2nd
Our Maundy Thursday service was this
evening. I made Charoset (using this
recipe) for the meal prior to the service (we have Seder items along with soup
& bread).
The moon!
Our back yard just gets sillier every
day.
Friday,
April 3rd
Dr. M named our new “puppy” Ulysses
Everett McGill. Heh.
Good Friday – stripped altar and
elements awaiting communion…
I came home from church & gazelled.
While eating Easter candy. You got a problem with that? Ha!
Saturday,
April 4th
Dr. M
said, “Oh Downy Boy, the seed, the seed is calling…”
It was an
elegant presentation of Easter candy, but I have to tell you that the glass is
already empty again :)
The moon!
Hope everyone has a great week!
What perfectly gorgeous little cows at that telephone pole! My absolute favourite.
ReplyDelete(and I stopped buying the malted milk eggs. ate too many once and they turned on me. terrible story.)
I knew you would love them! They were quite frisky, kicking up their heels, butting each other. So precious!
DeleteI always enjoy your week, Bug.
ReplyDeleteThank you, friend...we aim to please :-)
DeleteI don't usually comment on your pictures of the moon but this blue one really touched me. It's really special.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Stephen!
DeleteWe have those red-winged blackbirds flitting around here, too, but I've never been able to get a picture of them. Well, not one that's postable. (I know that's not a word)
ReplyDeleteAnd if "Danny Boy" plays in my head for the rest of the evening, I'm blaming you. And Dr. M. And the woodpecker.
Heh...
DeleteThe Easter Bunny wasn’t quite ready for action yet.
ReplyDeleteLooks like he was tired and gave up the ghost. Never really saw how Santa, the Tooth Fairy and Mr. Bunny did it anyway.
what is that animal? and yah, I love the weekly review.
ReplyDeleteGroundhog, Ellen.
DeletePleased by the geese
ReplyDeleteWowed by the cows
Swooned over the moon
Loved the dove!
Couldn't rhyme no mo' ;-)
Very clever, Rita! I was simply going to say that I love all the signs of spring, and that you both take note of them.

ReplyDeleteI love that second last moon, quite annoyed I never thought of taking it that way - one of these days Bug, I'm gonna get myself a proper camera... one of these days - until then I'll just visit here when in need of colour, light and nature!!! Fab stuff, and happy Easter! X
