No Foolin' Journal reads:

on April first we heard the

first peepers of the season. They are a tiny frog that

lives in the marshy areas of northern Michigan, and

like the Red-winged blackbird, they are a harbinger

of spring. The song starts out softly at the beginning

of the season but by summer time you can step out on

the deck and their song can be almost deafening.

The Northern Spring Peeper

(Pseudacris crucifer) is about

the size of a large paperclip

and have a distinctive dark

brown X that marks their tan

backs. Although we heard

them Wednesday evening, we

did not se them. These photos

I gleaned from the Michigan

DNR website.

Good Friday Journal reads:

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom,

it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of

incredulity, it was the season of Light,

it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair...

 

The pastor started off Good Friday’s message with the paradox from

“The Tale of Two Cities”, which seems

to aptly fit Good Friday ... but, hang

on, Sunday’s coming!!

Saturday's journal reads:

found me very busy in my kitchen

as I prepared a special meal to

take over to Grand Rapids the next

day to celebrate our oldest son’s birthday.

Amazing page, Lei! You've managed some gorgeous photos, lots of journaling as well as some digital embellishments and it all looks fabulous together, like every piece belongs. Great job!

BTW, I agree about the paradox being appropriate for Good Friday. Happy Easter to you and yours!
