The Easter Tree

It is Easter week and one of our little bunnies

will make it home from college to celebrate, the

other one has to work.  Growing up and getting a

job can put such a glitch in your plans for fun...

Today I gathered some branches from the crab

apple tree in the front garden and collected some

of my embroidered ornaments, some decorated 

eggs, some mini blue Christmas balls, a few wreaths

I made as a young bride many years ago and some

prisms from old chandeliers and decorated a tree for 

our dining room table.  Mr. Wonderful  and I rarely

eat in the dining room nowadays, the table seems

too big and empty with just the two of us.  We put 

a smaller table in our family room ~ another sign

of our empty nest honeymoon cottage.

Though it was chilly this morning and we still had

frost, it has turned into a beautiful Spring day.  The

windows in the studio are open and a gentle breeze 

is floating in.  I was able to go out on a hike today

and met up with this beauty.

Yesterday Mr. Wonderful took me out to lunch 

at our new favorite Indian restaurant.

It is close to Trader Joe's so when we eat there

we always stop at TJ's and find something

special.

I left with armloads of flowers and filled the

house with blooms.  For now, we will still have

to buy our flowers but from the look of the 

daffodil bulbs that I divided last Fall, we should 

have a bumper crop in a few weeks.
