Welcome April...Welcome Spring!

 
Spring
Made completely of sand, this sculpture sits outside the Smithville Inn, in Galloway New Jersey
a wonderful place to have a delicious meal!

Did you know that not only is today April Fools Day, it is also Sweet Potato Day
April 21st is Go Fly A Kite Day
April 22 is Earth Day
Aprils Pink Full Moon will rise on Tuesday April 23rd & reach its peak illumination at 7:49 Eastern Time
Those who were born in April have a Diamond for their birthstone
and a Daisy or Sweet Pea for their flower.

Your post shows that April is full of interesting facts.
I wish you a happy and successful April.

Cool sand sculpture. And April 22 is Oklahoma '89er Day. It's the day of one of the land runs in 1889 in Oklahoma. We used to dress up in elementary school every year as Boomers or Sooners. If you crossed the line into the area to stake out your land when the guns went off, you were a Boomer. If you tried to sneak across the line Sooner to get to your land, you were either a Sooner, or caught. (Of course, we weren't taught about having stolen lands from Native Americans...)

Sand sculptures always amaze me! April is such a special month in so many ways. Also, my daughter was born in April, so that makes it even more special. Hope you have a wonderful April, too. Hugs xo K

People's creativity constantly amazes me. Love the sand sculpture! And Happy Spring, Debbie! I am still excited about how well my veggies are doing in the trug garden. Last year was a flop, but this year they're going strong.

Such a beautiful job! I cannot believe it is out of sand. Here it would still be snow.

What an incredible sand sculpture. We used to love to go the Smithville Inn around Christmas time when we lived in New Jersey. A truly special place.

I was thinking about you when I heard about the earthquake in NJ. Hope it wasn’t anywhere near you. Great sand sculpture!

Just stopping by to say hope all is okay and you have not been affected by the earthquake.

All the best Jan
