Bucolic Plague
I’ve got the Bucolic Plague
All my thoughts
Pastoral, rustic
Serene
Non-toxic
No weeds
Strong root systems
Unkempt, growing, fertile

Churches were filled with worshipers happy that the Lord “arose” so many years ago to save us from our sins, and give us something to “look” to at all times. And then, of course, more Easter egg hunts, brunches, dinners with our loved ones, a ride to the hills, games, picnics, etc. An enjoyable day!
