In order, Yellow-throated warbler, Cedar waxing, male Ring-necked pheasant strutting his stuff, and a Pileated woodpecker, all courtesy of my son, the birder.

Read two more books: The Girl Beneath the Sea by Andrew Mayne (thriller) and Circe by Madeline Miller. If you like re-tellings of myths, I recommend Circe.

And we got a fun April snowstorm that knocked out our power from Thursday night to Saturday midday. The Weather changed from this

To this

in a matter of ten minutes or so and by the next day we had 6-7 inches of snow on the ground and a cold house.

What’s worse than a pandemic quarantine? A pandemic quarantine with no power!

I was cold and miserable and never so happy to have a shower. Thankfully, that nightmare is over though there’s still snow on the ground and I’m not very impressed with that.

Finally, it’s Easter for many people, and while I don’t celebrate, my sister made me this felt egg in a nest, representing rebirth, which I thought was you know what adorable.

Under different circumstances, my mom would’ve brought me some goodies and an Easter card. When we were kids, it was a whole basket and candy hidden all over the house. Not that any of that has anything to do with the true meaning of Easter and honestly, how a rabbit became part of the holiday I have no clue. Regardless, the point was, I miss my mom, and I’m sorry she can't go to church because for her, Good Friday and Easter are the most important Christian holidays. I’ll be glad when this is over and I can give her a hug again!

I hope everyone is staying well and staying safe.
