a few favorite easter images

 

Another glorious day is dawning and what makes this one even better than yesterday is that I don't need to go into work. If you need me today you will find me in the garden or sipping something delicious on the porch. In fact we had our first dinner outside yesterday evening. Not that I have ever kept a record of this but it might be the earliest yet!! A few pictures from the easter archives for you today:

 

 

Fern and I have a little question for you. Over the last week he and his family have been awake and very active, roaming long distances from the potted gardenia in the second floor bathroom. He really wants to go outside and enjoy this warm weather but all the little garden snails are still sleeping under the leaves. I have been waiting to see them wake up and spread their little tentacles before thinking of letting the stowaways out. What do you think?

Have a great start to your holiday weekend.

These are such wonderful images, Margie. The one of your mom's hands holding the egg is so, so beautiful.

I would tell little Fern to be patient just a little longer. I'm sure the rest of the family will be awake soon. Can snails get cabin fever? :D

Have a wonderful Easter.

That picture of your mother's hands holding the egg is so beautiful. How lucky you are to have such wonderful memories! Thanks for sharing all of them and alas...I have no knowledge of snail behavior or customs...enjoy your day off!

That is a precious collection of memories.
Maybe Fern should just visit the outdoors with you, and then gradually extend her stays outside when her snail friends are awake. Wouldn't want to wake anyone before it's time... ;)
Enjoy your day!

each photo exhales so much happiness :) thanks so much for sharing them with us. I'd advice Fern to wait a wee bit longer to get out in the garden. Mother Nature knows what she does, and if the snails outdoors are still sleeping, then there's a good reason for that. Come on, Fern, you can wait a little longer ! the company of Margie must be the best of all, lucky thing !!!! oxoxo

I'm not sure about the snails, but I do know that the photo of your mother's hands (I'm assuming it is her hands anyway) is very touching. When I was in high school I once wrote an essay about my grandmother's hands. She had worked on a farm, and then in the small restaurant she opened with my grandfather. Her hands revealed a long history. So do the hands in your photo.

I love the photo of your mom with the bunny ears. I have a similar one of my late grandmother with reindeer ears and it is one of the most treasured pictures I own because it really showed what a goofy, great lady she was. Happy Easter!

I love all your Easter images, your mom's hands still a favourite. Enjoy your warm weather and when you're finished can you ship it over our way? Happy days to all of you.
