The Easter season always has been one of my favorite times of the year. I look forward to it not only because Easter is the most holy day on the Christian calendar, but because the Easter season (which ends on May 11th this year) ushers in the beginning of spring and all of the things I love about this time of year --- longer, brighter days, as well as the promise of warmer weather.

As a child I believed in Santa Claus, but gave little credence to the Easter Bunny or the Tooth Fairy. The concept of a giant rabbit hopping around the world with baskets of eggs and candy did not seem feasible. After all, Santa had the sleigh and reindeer to help HIM out! And the floaty Tooth Fairy beaming in while I slept did not seem very plausible either...though I always imagined her outfit was pretty cute and somehow I thought she had a wand too.

I still am sleepy from changing the clocks this past weekend. I lost an hour of sleep and I still cannot catch up. Are you feeling the same way? I am picturing you all with your heads on your desks at school taking little siestas during your first classes of the morning. Of course then at night you are WIDE awake like me. I am hoping my body clock catches up soon. Of course, if I would just go to sleep at night instead of staying up reading, it would be a good thing.
