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.

Papa

Yes,
that is a totally kaput bracket.

Spring!
I took a walk outside today.
Tuesday,
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.
Thursday,
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!
