"This is the violet hour, the hour of hush and wonder, when the affectations glow and valor is reborn, when the shadows deepen along the edge of the forest and we believe that, if we watch carefully, at any moment we may see the unicorn."

Easter Wishes, Spring Songs

The air is like a butterfly

With frail blue wings.

The happy earth looks at the sky

And sings.
 
(Easter, by Joyce Kilmer)
 
 
I have always loved this little ode to Easter and Springtime.  April has been a difficult month for me - and for many others..... Spring is still being shy about showing herself in many parts of the world (including SF).... but, like the blue butterfly, we must try and reach the sunshine, feel the warmth of friendhip "on our wings" and give thanks for Life and for Love.
 
I send each of you an Easter hug of joy....whether you celebrate or not.
 
 
Love,
 
♥ Robin ♥

    Such a beautiful image and a lovely poem.

    It is freezing here today and pouring rain. I have had enough! Tomorrow calls for partly cloudy but DRY, so I'll take it.
    I'm not feeling so great today but I'm sure it's weather related. :(

    I'll think of you tomorrow as you dive into those malted milk balls!!

    xoxo

    Happy Easter Robin,
    i hope the sun comes out for you soon, and that May is a much better month. Maybe all the rain will bring many blooming flowers!
