Friday Extras: Thanks, April

Thanks, April...

For Easter
For National Poetry Month
For books and tea and closet "shopping"
For late-night hangouts with old friends
For funny cat faces

 Like this adorable one

 And this disgruntled one.

For good concerts and the discovery of new music

For creativity, freedom, and fun in my songwriting class

For bluebonnets everywhere!

For pictures of babies in bluebonnets everywhere. 

For new friends who are crafty and make cool things like this festive banner (bunting?) (garland?):

 I love how it makes things look like a party in one quick step. Even though we are in the process of cleaning and packing, this one spot says, "welcome, spring!" (Thanks, Lindsy!)

For the return of Mad Men and Call the Midwife

For cacti and succulents that are hard to kill (They haven't died, yet!)

For alternating days of perfect weather and howling storms

For safety in those storms

For this old Pope quote that found me on facebook this month. It lets me know I'm not the only one who has a hard time being a grown-up:

For coffee. And love. And coffee love.

Thanks, April. Welcome, May!
