I finished blowing the yolks out of twenty one eggs, and now I can dye them for Easter.
I'm late with the tradition this year, but they will last a long time because they're hollow.

Easter reminds me of Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, so I've been celebrating Elton and my childhood since returning from church. I also watched The Wizard of Oz (same connection).

Today is Charlotte Brontë's 203rd birthday. As a child I said I wished my birthday was April 21, without realising it was hers. I found this lovely picture of Bolton Abbey to celebrate Charlotte's life.

Nice place, though. I like visiting Anne Bronte's grave at Scarborough... difficult to find, but it's there. Going there in July, in fact.

Trueno,
Please lay a sprig of wildflowers for Anne, from Isabella. It's such a shame about the errors on her grave stone, but she has the loveliest resting place of them all. :heart:

I will try and do that. There is something compelling about Anne's grave... it's so out of the way and you fall on it by accident. Never found it the first time I looked.

The stone bore five errors for three years after Anne's death until Charlotte returned to Scarborough in 1852. She arranged the corrections, but one still remains stating that Anne was 28. In fact, she was 29 because of her January birthday.

It's sad that her grave is largely unnoticed but that's also fitting for the Brontës who lived in such anonymity.

Have you read Anne's work? (No derailing implied. Anne makes me happy.)

I had to read "the Tenant of Wildfell Hall" because I'd read the more famous works by Anne's more famous sisters... just for completeness. Well worth reading, but it was so long ago I can't remember too much about it. I'm mostly an 18th Century head as far as novels are concerned... except for Lawrence and sci-fi.

Tenant is considered the first comprehensive English feminist novel. I loved the story, and much of it has stayed with me ... but I didn't like the narrative structure and I thought Gilbert was a cad. I wish the plot unfolded chronologically such that we wouldn't know Helen's fate from the onset.

Anyway, now I feel I'm derailing.

I'm happy because Lent is over and I had a soft drink for the first time since March 5.

Avoiding awkward situations that I may have caused when I went with my mom to our old church earlier today for Easter Sunday Mass.

Here's the thing: I left our old church (my mom still worships at our old place of worship) back in late 2017 because I could not take being looked down upon by fellow members of the congregation who took themselves too seriously just for being Catholic.

I began attending Mass at a nearby Catholic church and have not regretted it since.

I'm Anglican, but my mother and brother started attending Catholic church last year.
Now I go to church alone. Sometimes I feel lonely, but overall it's less pressure.

I'm happy because my dog is feeling better.
