A Simple Easter Time

I plan to enjoy Easter at home working in the garden if the weather is kind. We're expecting a cold spell with low overnight temps. and are praying it doesn't damage the shrubs and plants - they are so beautiful now. The dogwoods in their white and pink airy dresses, the cherries wearing flouncy double petal pink gowns, and azaleas of every shade in every garden. One of the good things about older neighborhoods is the big size of the flowering shrubs, as well as huge beautiful old trees.

The Easter Bunny (shhh! it's really Granddad with bunny ears) will make an appearance and the egg hunt will take place early afternoon when it's a bit warmer.

I then plan to open this pretty, very pink, box. It has been sitting here for a week under the watchful eyes of the resident rabbits. A genuine Italian Easter cake is hidden inside - no idea what it looks like, says it has chocolate cream filling - it just has to be yummy, everything from Italy always is. Join us in the gazebo for cake and tea - I'll even make you a raspberry hot chocolate if it's really chilly.

Blessings to each of you at Easter.
