April Fool's Day


April 1.
This is the day upon which we are reminded of what we are

on the other three hundred and sixty-four.
~Mark Twain, Pudd'nhead Wilson, 1894

Too true, too true! I love Mark Twain.

Here, here. I wish I could think of something like I did last year. I guess I won't be pulling anyone's leg this year :)

So many good quotes come from Mark Twain! I'm so un-fun, I won't be doing anything for April Fool's.

I only remembered to explain April Fool's Day to Erin by the early evening. Durr. But she grasped the concept with some gusto and spent the rest of the day spinning huge yarns and then shouting, 'April Four!' She'd misheard me :-/

I remember April Fool's Day, also, for being the birthday of a good friend of mine. I remember it so easily because he is an utter lunatic. He's Mike, that I saw at Clare's funeral - and he made me cry with laughter by the end of that sad, sad day!

Happy April 1st, Jill!

Oh, the new banner is brilliant!

I LOVE your new banner. It makes me want to work out in my yard, that is still slightly covered with snow of course.

I need to read more of Mark Twain.

I love your new Spring-y header--so fresh and bright!

I am so blah and boring--no tricks up my sleeve for AF Day.

Your banner is awesome- my favorite one so far!

I never think of the trickery with April Fools'- it feels like an un-holiday to me.

I have not think of it much, except your phone call, what a delight to talk to you!

I didn't even realize it was the 1st until about 7pm. This homeboundness has messsed up my schedule. I love it.
