How was your Easter weekend?

I LOVE Springtime, but in the Rocky Mountains, springtime is usually the snowiest time!  This year, however, things are quite different.  Blame it on global warming or not, it's unusual everywhere.  More wind, less moisture----that does NOT make a good and healthy environment, I can tell you that!

Aside from that....Easter weekend was glorious!!!  On Sunday, the temperatures were in the mid-70's and I've hidden Easter eggs in the snow before....

We had an Easter egg hunt with two of the daughters and their 'boys.'  One is married; the other....soon to be maybe????  (he does fit in perfectly!)  We shall see...

                   Anyway....the unusually warm weather has resulted in the trees blooming about two months early.  Here is our current front porch with blossoming trees on either side of the porch.  Allergies, anyone??

                                   
and the other side....

We had a HUGE wind that has now blown a lot of this away (and all over the porch), but the weather for the next week is supposed to be in the 60's or better, so at least those fresh new buds won't freeze this week.  I'm going to be on the safe side and not plant my pots quite yet though....
                                                                                  

                                                                    
And Easter was just amazing....

                                                            There was the indoor hunting of the eggs....

                                                                            oh, don't forget that one on top of the picture frame!!
                                                                           

                 And then the race to the eggs hidden in the teeny-tiny back yard!!

                                                                                        And then, of course, you have to receive a few silly things in your Easter basket....like sponge rollers, right?  YES!

                                   and then everyone sits around and counts their eggs....
and the winner is?  
                                                    64 eggs!!!  Yay.....OK, put 'em away until next year!!

                                                 Now it's time for Easter brunch!!
