Le Poisson d'Avril! Happy April Fool's Day!

Bonjour mes amies!

Ah, the French...who knows why they are the way they are...
Who knows why they what they do...
Who knows what thought processes went into
celebrating the first of April
with a FISH!
Le poisson d'Avril!


Well it is 2014 and we never have to wonder for very long,
thank you Wikipedia:
"In France, Belgium, and French-speaking areas of Switzerland and Canada, April 1 tradition is often known as "April fish" (poisson d'avril in French). This includes attempting to attach a paper fish to the victim's back without being noticed.
Such fish feature prominently on many
late 19th- to early 20th-century French April Fools' Day postcards."

OK, well there you are...
Watch out for paper fish, and
enjoy good luck all month long!

And Happy April Fool's Day!!

I just learned about the fish trick yesterday! I love your graphics and I wish you not only a happy April Fool but also a lovely spring -- and that's no joke!
