Good morning! I came by yesterday off m...Dear Vera! Good morning! I came by yesterday off my phone in a whirlwind at work....could not leave a proper comment. <br /><br />Oh this time of year is so special for me because of so many reasons. My birthday is in April, and my memories of Easter "en famille" are numerous. Living in California, it was easy to have Easter egg hunts and I can still recollect the smell of the St. Augustine grass under our feet in my Aunt's backyard. I can remember the hot asphalt melting under my black patent leather soles at Disneyland on Easter Sunday, and the scratch of tulle from my petticoat under my new Easter dress. <br /><br />As an adult, sunrise services on the beach in Beverly, Massachusetts. Even here in Minneapolis, we run to Lake Harriet for a sunrise service in our car over the lake. The lifting of the sun is so metaphorical on Easter, and every morning.<br /><br />Wishing you a BELOVED Eastertime as you celebrate the loves in your life!

I didn't know you were Polish, nor did I know any of your traditions so this was quite interesting. The Easter egg fight...how fun!!! And the natural dying of the eggs, I will experiment next year for sure! I never had the good fortune to be at a Seder meal, but I had a friend who was invited one year (and she wasn't Jewish), and she was so, so impressed and grateful. <br /><br />I really liked hearing the origin of bunnies and eggs. Sometimes I worry that with Santa and elves and the Easter Bunny and baskets, that we commercialize sacred holidays. We need a few gentle reminders and to share them with our children.<br /><br />Bravo on another wonderful poem! When can we expect your book? :) I will be first in line!!<br /><br />Jane xxBlondie's Journalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12988377413260331618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2047532841234141141.post-83857131056960641842015-03-25T15:50:15.734-04:002015-03-25T15:50:15.734-04:00Dear Vera -

I bet you had fun creating your cute and adorable vignettes. And your kitty is too funny with the bunny ears!! I had a gray kitty that looked just like yours many years ago.
