Not my tulips and daffodils, but aren’t they pretty?

May His light shine down upon you now,

to bless your Easter Day.”  — Irish Prayer, Author Unknown

Note: A blessed Easter to you and yours!

Let the resurrection joy lift us from loneliness and weakness and despair to strength and beauty and happiness.  ~Floyd W. Tomkins, Episcopal American deacon

For a band concert this week.

Happy Easter! Happy Spring!

Here’s hoping everyone has a beautiful Easter!
