An Easter menagerie

"Christ is risen indeed--and he is cold." So said my dad's voice on our answering machine yesterday afternoon. As in Wisconsin (where my parents were visiting my brother) so in New Jersey, where the temperatures dropped below freezing and a few snowflakes fell on Easter weekend. Edith's face during her visit with the (Paschal?) lamb told the story:


"Go into the village, and immediately you will find a donkey tied. Untie it, and bring it to me."

Edith found a lion in her egg after all

You've heard about the obesity epidemic among American stuffed animals, of course. Here's betting that this is one duck that wouldn't have been eaten by the wolf.

Happy Easter!
