This week, I had the privilege of participating in a multi-school choral contest. Young talent is truly abloom!
Today’s melodious blog prompt at the Meme Express is:
chorus
Have you ever been part of a choir? How about a chorus or a barbershop quartet? What part do you sing?
Or do you only sing in the shower?
Perhaps this concept will inspire you to create and post a drawing, a poem, a photograph, a short story, or a journal entry. Then return here to leave a comment with your link. (Be sure to include a link to the Meme Express. Grab our train graphic from the sidebar for your link, if you want.)

This Sunday, Christians will celebrate Palm Sunday. Easter, the highest Christian holy day, is one week off.
Palm Sunday marks the beginning of Holy Week on the ecclesiastical calendar. On Palm Sunday, Christians recount the triumphant entry of Jesus into Jerusalem, when the Lord rode a borrowed donkey through the streets. As He passed, the crowd shouted, "Hosanna" and waved palm branches.
Less than a week later, having returned the borrowed donkey, Jesus' followers would place His body in a borrowed tomb. He needed the donkey for a few hours, and He needed the tomb for just a few days.
On Sunday, children in Sunday Schools all over the world will receive palm fronds and palm leaves to celebrate Palm Sunday. Some folks may pick up the Palm Pilots to record the occasion as well.
To mark this moment, here is today’s thought-provoking quotation for Thursday Thinking and Inkingat Meme Express.
Look high and low for inspiration with this prompt!

Welcome to the first Tuesday of spring!
Sure, everyone seems to be talking about health care - particularly in America - with Obama's health care program receiving nods from Capitol Hill. (See yesterday's post.)
As politicians and public opinion pundits debate the ramifications of the new health care programs in America, what is the healthiest thing you can do - particularly at this time of year?
The solution is quite down-to-earth! If allergies, colds or the flu turned you a little green to the gills during the winter, why not get out in that garden and dig in the soil a bit?
The weather is warming up. Grab those garden gloves and your favorite garden tools. It's time to clean out those perennial gardens and prepare the yard for spring planting!
Today the Meme Express offers you a choice: Pick-a-Prompt.

Do you like to bake on Saturdays? Some folks set aside time on weekends to whip up big batches of home-baked cakes, cookies or cupcakes for the rest of the week. Perhaps you are baking goodies for Easter or a spring bake sale at school.
Have you ever made home-baked bread (or biscuits, pizza dough or rolls) from scratch? Or do you prefer to use baking mixes? Do you bake cookies on baking sheets, or do you like to use baking stones?

Mud is us today!
Grab your yellow slicker, your Mackintosh or your spring raincoat. Pack that poncho or rain gear. Pick up those mud boots, hip waders or galoshes. Got waterproof garden gloves?
