Drag out of bed early
Baskets smiles chocolate
Fancy clothes church
Singing Alleluia
Relaxing sunny day
Family dinner ham pie
A perfect day

Morning Coffee
I love waking up early when my family is still sleeping. It is quiet and peaceful. I sit and enjoy a cup or two of coffee and read and enjoy the silence. It's a great way to start the day. Today I am listening to Native American spiritual music. Soon it will be all chaos and activity getting ready for a family gathering, but not right now.

Any Anne Rice fans out there will want to watch her interview with Steven Colbert on The Colbert Report last night.

Garlic Mustard
www.nps.gov/plants/alien/fact/alpe1.htm
This is an invasive weed called garlic mustard. It is really bad stuff. It grows in woody or shaded areas and negatively affects native plants and insects. It should be blooming soon, if not right now, which is a good time to remove it. Please take a moment to read about it.

I am tired tonight. I had about an hour to read before I got busy with chores and I was having a hard time because my eyes are watering and burning. Did I put the book down to take a much needed nap? No, of course not!
I am currently reading Anne Rice's, The Wolf Gift. More about that later. I am going to go make a cup of coffee, a cup of much needed energy then it's dinner and egg dying. (Yes, we waited until Maundy Thursday to dye eggs!)

Easter or Christmas?
No new books to report on. We are all still reading the current books; trying to find time to read with all the business. It is all a juggling act. I have been strangely energetic lately. It will be a busy, fun weekend and I don't want to miss the fun feeling tired and stressed out. So, I am working hard this week to keep up so I can have fun this weekend.
At lunch today, a co-worker was asking what the Easter Bunny should bring her kids. At every suggestion, she stated they all ready had that. I was thinking, if your kids all ready have everything then they are obviously overindulged and don't really need much for Easter. When did every holiday become overloaded with gifts and food, requiring entire aisles of special food/candy in the grocery store? It used to be a basket of candy was a treat, now kids get wrapped gifts like it is Christmas?! Really! My kids will be receiving small gifts and candy, not unlike a Christmas stocking. And that is it. I try really hard not to spoil my kids with everything they could ever want. It isn't what I want to teach my kids.

Fair Game by Patricia Briggs
Book 3 in the Alpha & Omega Series
Urban Fantasy
I love Patricia Briggs. Her Mercy Thompson Novels are on my favorites list. The Alpha & Omega books are set in the same world as the Mercy Thompson books. This book reads a bit like a mystery novel. Charles and Anna are off to Boston to help the local authorities catch a serial killer. I liked the book. I really like that Patricia Briggs writes about couples that are married and in love, and she still manages to weave romance into the mix. I don't like this series as well as the Mercy Thompson books, but I look forward to every new book. Well worth reading.
