Easter in Zionsville

I really do love the irony of spending Easter in Zionsville. I arrived in Zionsville Friday night in the midst of a huge storm. I rather like the idea of big thunderstorms before Easter; it seems an appropriate way of announcing death and resurrection. And there is other Good News to announce: the rough draft of my thesis is polished, shiny, and turned in!!!!! Hooray! I'll get the revisions back in 11 days or less, and then I'll have till May 22 to keep polishin' away.

Some pictures from this Easter…

This little guy was hanging on to the back door for dear life, even once the thunder and lightening subsided.

This is OC (that's "Outdoor Cat," not "Orange County") peering into the basement:

And Easter itself, in all its springtime glory:

in bloom

bumblebees!

rhodedendrons

goldfinch, tweet tweet!

new grass

robin redbreast

daffodils

more bloomin'

current book: Mrs. Dalloway (for my Time & Narrative class)
current music: I might be going to see Canasta again tonight. With that in mind, I've been listening to their cover of Kraftwerk's "The Model."
current socks: light blue with chocolate bunnies–with one missing ear, natch.

    Congratulations, my dear! What a fantastic feat! I want to read at least one of the drafts.

    I love the pics, very hopeful.
