HAPPY EASTER

It is snowing! We are supposed to get an inch or so this Morning and another three to seven inches tonight. The forecast is for snow today, tonight, and tomorrow and we could get over ten inches total. Well that is life on Planet Earth.

I had a few bales of hay delivered this Morning. I was hoping it would last until the snow was melted and the pasture was open, but with this new snow it doesn't seem likely. The forecast is for a cool April.

I have to admit, I am depressed. I would like to say I am above it all, that Nature's wiles do not bother me, but it would be a lie. We have people coming for Easter our driveway may need plowing. The normal high this time of year is 49, the normal low is 30. Tomorrow the high is forecast to be only 27 F. The high won't even get up to the normal minimum. There won't be any significant melting for a week. Ahhhhhh...................

Oh well, I will get over it. By the time I am done with this blog I may be back to my ebullient self.

Jamie and I usually have a quiet celebration on Easter. Three of my children are either entertaining in-laws or attending their functions. Naomi [a nurse] is working. Matt's wife [Chris also a nurse] is working. Matt will be here and Noah and his son Gregory, who is visiting from California, will be here. We will have a nice celebration.

Easter is a celebration of the light. The early Christian church super-imposed the holiday on older existing celebrations. It is no coincidence that it is celebrated on the first Sunday after the first full moon of Spring. Of course, in the Christian religions, the Resurrection is also the bringing of the light.

Let us celebrate the bringing of the light this year. The light is increasing! The awakening is happening! It doesn't always look like it. Just like it looks like Spring is a long way off when I look out my window. [The snow is really pouring down right now] The awakening is real! Love, Joy and Peace will reign on this Earth soon.

I need to do some Easter shopping. Maybe I better go now. Who knows if I will be able to get out tomorrow. Our driveway is a tenth of a mile long.

HAPPY EASTER!

Love and Peace, Gregg
