Today was the Easter Egg Hunt for the preschool at church.  Parents bring eggs labeled with their kids’ names (everyone’s a winner) and the teachers “hide” them.  It’s a treat to watch the itty-bitties fill the baskets with their hard-earned prizes.

I stopped by my sister’s house last week and discovered a ceramic cow head decorated with her wedding veil from thirty years ago sitting on a chair.  I decided not to ask any questions.

Tonight’s sky was filled with these cloud formations.  My Dutch mother-in-law calls them schapenwolkjes (sheep clouds) and says they foretell rain.   Guess what… rain is on the way.

This past weekend my husband, niece, and I had the privilege of touring a wildlife rehabilitation center just outside Atlanta.  AWARE (Atlanta Wild Animal Rescue Effort) is an organization that comes to the aid of all varieties of injured and orphaned wildlife native to Georgia, as well as providing educational programs for the surrounding communities.  It was a remarkable place.
