'April'
How pretty I am now become
With blossoms sweet and fair
And birds rejoice with chorus loud
As if in thankful prayer
Come build your nest within my boughs
Sweet blackbird sing your song
For life is full of potency
And winter is long gone

'What Are the Easter Bunny's Origins? Here's the Fascinating History of the Easter Bunny'
Ever wonder what a cute woodland creature has to do with Easter?
By Hannah Jeon - GoodHousekeeping.com - March 4, 2020
Every year on Easter, legend has it that a long-eared, cotton-tailed creature comes to deliver festive baskets full of treats, toys, and delicious candy to children — and even lays colorful eggs for them to find! Among other Easter traditions like hot cross buns and egg hunts, the Easter Bunny has long been a well-known and popular symbol associated with the religious holiday — but have you ever wondered about the Easter Bunny's origins, and how exactly the cute, fluffy woodland creature became such a prevalent symbol of Easter?
Surprisingly, there's a lot of history behind the mythical story of an egg-bearing rabbit on Easter Sunday (and it's not just because he's cute!). The Easter Bunny actually has a long and deeply rooted history in the Christian holiday — and even in pagan traditions. Here's what to know about the fascinating origins of the Easter Bunny before you welcome the holiday with chocolate rabbits and plenty of bunny-shaped treats — including where the character comes from, why he's associated with Easter eggs, and how he became such a beloved symbol of the holiday over the years.

[followup to 'The Green Moon' of part 1]
On the previous piece, I mentioned the golden moonlight that one can see when the night conditions are right. I also mentioned the illusion of "green moonlight" under the same conditions. While adding that there was an almost theoretical "blue moonlight" which possibly can be perceived. Just after publishing that, on Saturday, I went on a twilight/night hike with perfect conditions: almost full moon, particularly bright moonlight, moon positioned above at a slight angle, no wind or breeze, and a clear sky.
Upon reaching one point with a fabulous night view of the San Francisco Bay, I noticed that I could make out that the water was of a dark blue color under the moonlight in certain spots; not the blue water when illuminated by the sunlight. That got me thinking about what I had written, that there was at least the illusion of blue moonlight. Just by the night sky being of a dark blue hue also leads to an additional concept of blue light.

The little brush rabbits are very active at night, and can be see along the trail. Although rabbits are common prey animals, and I've observed so many of them over the years, I had never seen any evidence of any of them perishing. The very next day, yesterday, I came across a body; probably a victim of coyotes. Ever since the coyote population increased in recent years, there has been an absence of wildcats, raccoons, skunks, and foxes in the area. They were once at least easy to spot along the trails.

Still known more for what she did as an underage youth rather than for 98 mainstream and b-film characters as an actress, and other bodies of work as a producer, director, composer, writer, voice characters, and makeup artist in the industry; as well as a recording artist, model, activist, and business woman. Even the IMDb at least allows her "Traci Lords is a study of a determined and complex woman with a very controversial background."

Two programs, which I guess what could now be called classic reality television, are back again with all new episodes on A&E. 'Intervention' premiered on March 15, and 'Storage Wars' will premiere on April 20. It never ceases to amaze me how obstinate those with narcotic abuse problems are on this program, but if they didn't react in that manner nobody would watch. 'Storage Wars' has quite a cast of characters. I was thinking that all of the other storage auctions out there have probably been so flooded with people since this program started ten years ago.

I've called thousands of scammers over the past few years and this guy is easily the angriest. After spending 10 hours with "Steve" I'm pretty sure he lost his mind... and his voice.
