No, it’s not snowing here, but the past 3 days have been cold! It was supposed to get up to 70 degrees today, but, I don’t think it made it. Tomorrow is supposed to be in the 80’s. But, the last 2 nights we have had freeze warnings.

I can remember hearing my Mom say, “We always have a cold snap right before Easter.”
And, you know…we always do. So, the 2009 cold snap has happened. And, I am ready for it to be spring. I LOVE warm weather.

I am battling a case of laryngitis caused by allergies. So, on top of being cold…I can’t even complain about it! Except to you, my bloggy friends. My fingers can talk when I can’t. So, thanks for listening…I’m off to get under the electric blanket and dream of days by the pool.

If you are looking for a book for a child about the true meaning of Easter, I highly recommend this one. It is part of a series, and includes,The Pumpkin Patch Parable, The Pine Tree Parable, The Sunflower Parable, and this one…The Parable of the Lily.

About the book:

When Maggie, the farmer’s daughter, receives a mysterious gift, she’s disappointed to find it’s only some dirt and a lifeless bulb. But after tossing it out, she discovers that what was dead has come to life as a beautiful Easter lily! Kids will cherish the 10th anniversary edition of Higgs’s beloved story of love, giving, and forgiving. Recommended for ages 3 to 7.
