Did everyone have a good Easter?

If you were celebrating, I hope everyone had a truly blessed and beautiful Easter holiday!

Ours consisted of unusually beautiful weather (temps in the 80s), sunshine, colorful spring flowers blooming, trees blossoming, plenty of quality family time, and blessings and joy galore!

We still love all of the old-fashioned traditions of coloring eggs, having an Easter egg hunt, and the excitement of opening an Easter basket.  The Easter bunny was very generous at our house ~ he even left my husband a basket of goodies!  

And in addition to a basket, what did the Easter bunny bring our son?  

Why his very own playhouse BBQ, of course! 

Isn't it cute?!  

(we're still trying to think of an answer to the obvious question, 

"How did the Easter Bunny carry THAT?!")

Hope you and your family had a wonderful holiday!

Easter's on its way!

Today is a last minute scramble to get everything ready for Easter tomorrow!

Beautiful April

What I love most about April is the resurgence of life! The longer days, the rebirth of nature, the return of migrating birds, animals awakening from hibernation, the warmth of the sunshine...

but mostly the return of color to everything!

Things are blooming just in time for the Easter Egg Hunt!

With more and more days like today reaching in the high 70s, 

soon, color will abound everywhere!
