April is National Poetry Month.

i love words. i don't think that comes as a surprise to anyone who knows me.
i love to read, i love to write.
i love to scribble and doodle and play with words.
my house is filled with journals and notebooks and scribblers
words written on napkins and folded into pockets,
notes on post its, index cards left on the fridge...
lists and song lyrics, parts of a phrase i don't want to forget...

so April makes me happy.

and not just because it brings spring...or at least, we hope it will...
but April is also national poetry month.

a couple of years ago, i made myself a list of things that i wanted to do for the month of April.
i know that i am late already for this month's list,
but i think i am still going to do it...but i might add some spring stuff in there, too...
cause this has been a long, hard, BIG winter
and i think i need some spring
{even if everytime i look out the window, i am still blinded
by the reflection of the sun off the tree-top high snowbanks}

feel free to play along!

and if you are here on my tiny island,
check out some of these events that are planned!

and there is still time to enter in the photo session contest!
