The Rebirth of Michigan- A triple tube bird feeder to attract birds

Let this be the rising of our state of Michigan beyond the economic woes to celebrate rebirth, spring and "the beginning" of a new dawn.

Easter is primarily a celebration of the Resurrection - but there is a history to the holiday. Back before our time, people used to celebrate when Spring arrived. Many of us still look at Easter as the "true" beginning of Spring. A time to start our gardens.

Abbey Press has a great selection of Easter and Inspiration gifts that you can send anywhere in the US.

People used to believe that changes in seasons were guided by spirits or gods. The blooming of plants and flowers and the critters and animals coming out of hibernation brought back life.

In addition the return of birds brought life , hope and beauty back to the area. This new life in spring symbolizes the new life Christians believe that they gain because of Jesus's death on the cross on Good Friday and his resurrection or back to life on Easter Sunday.

Whatever you believe in, take time to celebrate the beautiful sunshine today and all you have. Take this day to rid your mind of any negative thoughts about what you do not have.

Happy Easter...

Happy New Beginning...

and Happy Spring...
