Easter Egg Tree, Spring, and Allergies.
Good Wednesday, all. Achoo!
April meant I needed to change my Christmas tree to an Easter egg tree.
For the past few weeks folks around me have been sneezing, wiping their eyes, and blowing their noses. I am of the coughing crowd. Could these have anything to do with reactions?
Irises always make me ready for Easter!
Can you say Easter basket? Mine had colored eggs and lots of chocolate. Yes, I wore the ears in the basket most of the afternoon!
Easter ham is traditional in a lot of homes, but what about veggie kabobs? The ones below were yummy! Grilling for Easter seems like a good tradition, as long as the weather is warm enough. Sunday was shirt-sleeve weather.
We have had such warm weather many flowers have bloomed before their time. Have you ever tried to write a book and realized that book's time had not come? Were you stuck because you weren't ready to write that book?
I started one that I wasn't ready to finish. Actually, I have started plenty on a wild hare/hair (snicker). I later finished several of them after years and now need to work on a particular one.
One of the books I finished years after I started it was Haunting Refrain. When the time was right, I went back to it and wrote and cried a lot. My parents had both passed away within a year and I had separated from my husband of thirty-three years during that time. I needed to grieve, and I realized my characters had grieving to do, too. William, the hero, had so little experience with love that he couldn't risk losing the love of Sarah, his best friend, and her parents. I learned why his parents couldn't show him the love a little boy needed. He could heal then.
If you haven't read Haunting Refrain, make a comment and I'll give you a coupon code for it. This month the price will go back to 2.99, so here's your chance to save big!

Did you do anything for Easter? Do you have Easter traditions that might seem odd? Have you started a book and realized the time wasn't right?
