Spring unsprung

Just when you think it’s safe to put away the snowpants.

This is the view from the window of my home office this morning. It looks more like the upcoming holiday should be Christmas instead of Easter.

Speaking of which, today is Maundy Thursday, as we used to call it. The day of the last supper, the garden of Gethsemane and other preliminaries to Mel Gibson’s favorite part of the season.

I was thinking about introducing David to the Christian meanings behind the holidays this year, but I just don’t know how to deal with Easter.

“Do you remember the little baby that we talked about whose birthday was celebrated on Christmas? This is when they killed him.”

I think not.

So… I’m pulling out the plastic eggs and the Peanuts Easter special, and leave it at that for another year.
