MOOD BOARD

 

No mind of Monday for me today. What with being away for the weekend in Philly for the No Kings Day, another great experience on Saturday, and using Sunday to visit some favorite spots before returning home, I had the gumption to take Monday off. The same with next week. It's amazing how quick a week flies by when you have Mondays off. I hope all is well this Monday with you all and everyone had a safe weekend at the rallies who attended. I hope we are making our point! Now on to Easter for me, as by weeks end have my cousins from the West Coast coming for a week, along with their daughter... my favorite cousin from Chicago, and my other cousins from Upstate New York.  We have a dinner planned for Friday night and Easter Dinner is all on me. My aunt's favorite holiday and dinner. I hope I won't disappoint. I pick up my lamb from the butcher tomorrow at the market. The only time of year I'll eat it. And so far spring is not disappointing. ...it promises to be a beauty.

    Thanks for being part of the revolution. And Samuel Hoedecker???? Yes, PLEASE!
    That White Lotus scene was wild.

    I could invite Samuel to that last living room and then...

  4. What a cousins' reunion! It's impossible for you to disappoint. I admit I've never eaten lamb.

    Love,

    1. I have seen butter lambs in the grocery store, but none as good as yours! Or as cute.

  7. Happy Monday, Maddie! Love the cherry blossoms, blue & white vases and of course, the bunny atop Ann Millar's chapeau! The angel sculpture is beautifully done too, but is it hanging upside down on a wall or laying flat on a floor plinth? If he's upside down, his wings should be subject to gravity and droop more.... I guess that why I'm not an artiste, LOL!

    1. Yet, his twig and berries seem to have been affected by gravity, go figure that one out?!?!

  8. We missed you in New York but know you have to share your time between us peeps! NYC had a HUGE turnout. I loved your post. This post was what the doctor ordered today. I sure wouldn't mind giving the guy on the red sofa a hand. And you certainly picked a great day to be off!

  12. Ann Miller's bunny looks like it has just got up and is totally hungover! Despite that, another lovely selection, Maddie.

    P.S. I love that lilac t-shirt under the upsidedown angel. I used to have one many years ago and often wore it to the club.

  13. A lilac t-shirt - a red sofa - somehow I missed those details and had to go back to find them. I must have been distracted by the music.
