Brace yourselves.
I’m going raw and uncensored today.
No soup, no cake, no cooking. It’s too hot in the kitchen to turn on the stove. You know how it is.

Flocks of robins have been touching down in the back yard, on their way north after long winter vacations. Slowly but surely, nature is awakening — time to dust off cold, dark days, and shake things up.
That’s why I’ve invited 26 of my closest friends to help us celebrate today.
All winter long, they’ve been lying around like this:

But now, they want to go outside and play — with anagrams!
With a little letter rearranging, you can discover hidden meanings in words. They say anagrams never lie. They contain provocative bits of wisdom and are sometimes wonderfully magical. Besides, letters love it when you toss them around and mix them up. Let’s get the party started.
