CAUTION: There is a lot of cuteness in this post.  And I mean a lot!  This is not for the faint of heart.  I repeat: it is not for the faint of heart!  Proceed with caution….and oh yeah: enjoy!!

Awake, thou wintry earth -
Fling off thy sadness!
Fair vernal flowers, laugh forth
Your ancient gladness!
~Thomas Blackburn, “An Easter Hymn”
