Harper and I were sitting outside listening to the birds well after the eclipse, and we couldn't believe how loud they were, even though at that point it was night. We figured they had a lot to talk about given the day they'd had.

Oh Megan, so creative! That eclipse must have been something else!

And not only has the Annunciation been moved but Passover!! It's on the calendar as April 22nd, which means although we celebrated the Resurrection, Jesus will be eating his Last Supper again.

Calendars are weird.

Love this. The beauty and the connections. Especially #4.

I spent the entire Octave of Easter trying to figure out how to work that line into a poem, and when I hit on the idea of a 5 Things essay, I realized I could let it stand on its own.

Megan,

What great questions to ask King Ahab (or ourselves) in your #3.

Behold indeed!

Gratefully,

Katie

Thanks for reminding me of the birds! Our eclipse viewing was 2017 but I instantly remembered the silence, and then the singing. Just amazing.

Those two things struck me more than anything else.

Of course they did! Birds and singing are part of your DNA. You could probably explore that 😉
