TWO.TWO (second observance of whacky holiday)

     We're only two weeks into April and it's already been a busy month! I hope you all enjoyed April 8th whether the day had anything to do with birds or not. Draw a Picture of a Bird Day is so appropriately placed at the beginning of spring when you really appreciate the little creatures finding their way back to your open window with a song. I'm so excited about all the entries we received- they are each so different and so great! I can't wait to share them with you, so I'll stop yapping. But I do want to wet your whacky holiday taste buds by making you aware of a few other great holidays this month: April 13th is Scrabble Day, April 14th is Reach As High As You Can Day and April 28th is shared by Kiss Your Mate Day and Great Poetry Reading Day (both of which I will be observing given that I've got a kissable mate who happens to write great poetry, fabulous) AND it's BLONDE'S BIRTHDAY! We'll be announcing the BIRD winner TUESDAY so check back!

Thanks to everyone who participated!
