Snow falls this Easter
Spring's first leaves trying to sprout
Calm soon fills with life
I wrote this haiku when contemplating the night before last's weather forecast, April weather has a mind of it's own hence snow is possible for this Easter. On 3 out of those the last 40 years measurable snow did fall. Who knows may-be this year also.
That brought back that bitterly cold morning, some 40 years ago. When the big "kids" went out to hide goodies. The memory of that year is pretty much etched in stone,
Being not much more than kids ourselves a "plan" was made. Instead of the egg hunt being held before lunch, it was held after lunch when the goodies had mostly melted out of the snow. The kids {of all ages} loved it, and thanks to the the fastidious habits of one parent {certainly not me}, each goodie, each item was sealed in a small plastic bag.
Lunch was particularly good that year also,
Written in about and egg hunt that happened about 40 years ago., The grown ups went out at dawn and hid Easter goodies for the little ones came back in for coffee and Easter gookies, when someone noticed it was snowing
