So, THIS is what April looks like?? I'd forgotten...

Ahem. We were so focused on the 60-something-degree days we're to experience by the end of the week that we simply overlooked the forecast for what was to come before we got to the tropics. Here it is. In all it's glory. White and very wintry-Norman Rockwell looking. But, everything has its rewards…
There was a family of deer bedded down in our "peninsula," this morning. I'm lost between two shores homes and left my wildlife lens at the LakeHouse. But my everyday lens didn't do a terrible job of capturing peaceful yearling Bambis, still in dreamland and not yet with their defenses up, as Momma guards them in the breaking light…

Accompanying the vision was the love song of Big Kahuna, the male cardinal. After all, it IS Spring and mating time. I located him deep within a holly tree, but was unable to score a capture. He is ever so wary and always camouflaged by one thing or another…

Nonetheless, Easter is just days away, as is a visit from Hunter and Chloe. We anticipate with colorful, Spring-y food and sunshine in our hearts. The powers of suggestion…

Happy April. Happy Easter. Happy Passover.
Celebrate. Pretend, if you must…
