Yay for good books! As I said, I loved “Heart and Soul,” and “Saving CeeCee Honeycutt” is a sweet book that I can’t wait to discuss at book club. I’m almost done listening to HP book 3 and picked up book 4 today! I’m intrigued by “The Hundred Foot Journey,” as I just started it this morning. Any book about food is fun to read! It starts in India and moves to London and beyond. India is so fascinating to me. But the descriptions of the filth and poverty will deter me from making it a high priority on my visit list.
I’m also saying “yay” about the iPad2 I am using for work! After I finish with my pile of books, I will hopefully share nook books with friends!
So, although my Spring Reads list is LONG (and getting longer!) I am making progress!

APRIL by Marcia Masters
It’s lemonade, it’s lemonade, it’s daisy.
It’s a roller-skating, scissor-grinding day;
It’s gingham-waisted, chocolate flavored, lazy,
With the children flower-scattered at their play.
It’s the sun like watermelon,
And the sidewalks overlaid
With a glaze of yellow yellow
Like a jar of marmalade.
It’s the mower gently mowing,
And the stars like startled glass,
While the mower keeps on going
Through a waterfall of grass.
Then the rich magenta evening
Like a sauce upon the walk,
And the porches softly swinging
With a hammockful of talk.
It’s the hobo at the corner
With his lilac-sniffing gait,
And the shy departing thunder
Of the fast departing skate.
It’s lemonade, it’s lemonade, it’s April!
A water sprinkler, puddle winking time,
When a boy who peddles slowly, with a smile remote and holy,
Sells you April chocolate flavored for a dime.
