Hershey's Better Basket Blog Hop

 This pretty little porcelain egg in a glittery basket is perched on a counter in this very cool log house.   I thought it would make a great picture for this blog post.

My good friend  POD of Thufferin Thuccotash  gave me a virtual  Easter Basket, this morning.   It's part of the Hershey's Better Basket Blog Hop which benefits the Children's Miracle Network.  For each blogger who participates, Hershey's is donating $10.00 to CMN.    What a great way to celebrate this springtime holiday!

So what is Hershey's Better Basket Blog Hop, you ask?    Here's the scoop right from the horse's Bunny's mouth.  (In other words, I copied this paragraph from the Better Basket website.)

"Better Basket Blog Hop started as a charity blog meme, bloggers were able to raise $10 by writing a blog post of donating a virtual Easter Basket. HERSHEY’S promised to donate $10 per each post written for the Children’s Miracle Network, up to $5,000. Within the first week, over 200 bloggers participated, and soon it was 400 bloggers, and HERSHEY’S was so impressed by the kindness and caring of the hundreds of bloggers participating that they decided to donate $7,000 in honor of all the caring bloggers who are part of spreading the word of paying it forward this Easter season."

 If you have a blog and you'd like to participate, copy and paste the rules into your blog post (of course you must also follow the rules)

So I'm giving virtual Easter Baskets to:

Ms Sparrow ,   Ms. Fiddlesticks,   Darlin,  and to   Kamp KK.   Since they'll probably want to give a virtual basket or two, themselves, I'll leave it at that.    I don't want to leave anyone out, of course, but with the holiday almost upon us and some of you heading out for the weekend,  I don't want to assume that everyone has time to pass it on, either. 

I'm spending the rest of the day downloading photos to CD's...I have way too many on my computer and one of these days it's going to deal me fits, I think.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this is definitely the beginning of  true spring-like weather everywhere with lots of sun, white fluffy clouds, flowers...
