Easter Time

We love Easter time around here. Our yard is blooming like crazy with irises, birds of paradise, calla lilies, iceplant blossoms, tulip magnolias,and nosturtium. We have decorated 3 dozen eggs, had them hidden by the Easter Bunny and found them. The kids have way too much candy in their baskets. We have eaten John's delicious "Eggs Golden Rod" (with the delightful addition of lemon juice as a garnish). We are going on many outings to parks and on hikes to celebrate these beautiful spring days, and just feeling new and happy all around...for the moment, anyway. Church was amazing today. The talks were great, and the spirit was strong. I had to teach, which did not add to the luster of the day at first, but when all was said and done, as always, I'm grateful for the experience (will write more about this later, I think). Anyway, here's the proof!
