Fools Foliage and That Bunny Guy! The April To Do List

**cincygreg** · March 19th, 2009, 09:32 PM

Wellsy well well well. It's time again to start off a new month (I probably shouldnt be doign this while I'm watching the NCAA Tourney but what the heck LOL!) The Big Deal in April? Well, spring is here and of course the month kicks off in fine fashion with April Fools Day (hope they have the parade) SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO... If you know anyone who kinda looks like this most of the time

You might want to wish them a happy April Fools day on the first. Also in April is the day that bunny guy (or bunny girl) and you know I like those bunny girls. So soft and warm and oops sorry, got off track for a minute there. Easy to do when I start thinking about bunnies!

Easter Is April 12th! Anywho, here are some more holidays you may or may not want to celebrate in April...

We need a flavor of the month for April now don't we. Something that fits the season. Let's see. HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!?!?!?!?!?

THink think think.... Well, it is spring but we did colors last month. It would actually make sense to do colors again since all the plants and flowers come into bloom soon and the colors of spring will be all around us. Plus, the colors of easter are around as well. But that would be too easy. We could do chocolate since things like chocolate bunnies, eggs and coins are around this time of year. But we need to think outside the box (not that we are inside a box unless you are inside a box and if your comfortable in said box please feel free to think inside of it or just step out for a minute to do some thinking before you get back inside.) No, we need something a little different, something that relates to the season itself. You notice a lot more people out walking and working out these days, eating healthier as well. People trying to get into spring or summer shape by eating right too. Everything in moderation of course, but a tasty treat here and there is ok even when you are trying to shed a few pounds. I mean spring is here and a piece of fruit can make a nice treat as much as something frozen. Wait a minute!

What if we combined the two? Yes, that's it folks. Ding sing sing we have a winner!

Fruit flavors! As mix ins, as the flavor of the scoop itself, as toppings, as smoothies, in bar form, on a stick (and what isn't better on a stick. Well, ok maybe not soup but almost everything is better on a stick) Yes everyone, the flavor of the month is fruit flavors. So go ahead and get yourself your favorite fruit flavored treat and get down with your fruit flavor loving self. Cherry, grape, strawberry, snozzberry, chuck berry, halle berry, blueberry, orange, watermellon, 'nanner... whatever flavor floats your fruit loving boat. As always all chips chunks dips dunks... you know the rest are in as well. And try not to get any on your nice white shirt

More to come.
