April again! with its wonder of gladness,
April with its haunting joy, and swift-stinging tears,-
Month of mist and music, and the old moon-madness,
Month of magic fluting, the spirit only hears,-
'April again!'
Virna Sheard
Yes, it's April, a new month and a new edition of 10 on 10. This time I found myself, along with my two youngest daughters, wandering the main street of old Folsom, CA. It was a beautiful, warm spring day as we visited favorite shops, enjoyed some yummy ice cream, and even panned for gold in the docent-run Pioneer Village! I hope you enjoy this glimpse into our day. To see more of our day stop by my Flickr page.
