April Fool's!!!!!!

No one does
April Fool's Day
better than
Mother Nature herself!

Happy Bday Brother John!

Today is my
oldest brother,
John's,
birthday.
(no foolin')

I'm not sure
but I think
he came
across on
the
Mayflower!


With
a purple bag!

Happy Birthday John!

Love at Home

One of my mother's
favorite hymns -


There is beauty all around
There is joy in ev'ry sound.


Peace and plenty here abide
Smiling sweet on ev'ry side.


Time doth softly, sweetly glide
When there's love at home.


In the cottage there is joy
Hate and envy ne'er annoy.


Roses bloom beneath our feet
All the earth's a garden sweet,


Making life a bliss complete
When there's love at home.


Kindly heaven smiles above
All the world is filled with love


Sweeter sings the brooklet by;
Brighter beams the azure sky.


Oh, there's One who smiles on high
When there's love at home.

The Hope Spring Brings . . .

The day

the Lord
created hope

was probably
the same day
he created
spring.

March

Dear Miss March,

You are a fickle month.
Toying with my hopes
of warm days and
blooming flowers
only to dash them
with a fresh,
but temporary,
blanket of
white snow.

I will pull off
my boots and
dust off my
garden books
as I wait,
impatiently,

for you
to make up
your mind.

Sincerely,
Nancy B.

March Gladness!
