Were you woken up this morning by having water poured on your head? Do you have a pussy willow switch at the ready (like the handmade pomlázka decorated one above)?
No?
Then you're not from Buffalo, New York where we have the largest Monday after Easter celebration, Dyngus Day!
Come watch a parade and see where the festivities are all listed on the Dyngus Day in Buffalo website where this photo of Auxiliary Bishop Edward M. Grosz, pastor of St. Stanislaus Church, blessing the second annual Dyngus Day Buffalo Parade came from.
It's spring in Buffalo! YAY!
Time to polka, y'all!!

Guess I did not live in Buffalo long enough to hear of Dyngus Day. (Less than a year) Sounds like fun.
I'm from Rochester and most recently, Hemlock. Nice to know someone who realizes there are part of NY State that are not 'Up state'.
We live near Boston now.
I like your blog!
What great fun! So glad I stopped over, but wish I could be there in real life! I LOVE polka!!
