If there is a day that is a touchstone for my life, and one that I remember more clearly than any other holiday growing up, it's Easter. Even many of my Christmases have blurred together with only a few standing out in my memory such as the first one spent away from home when I went to college, and the first one after I got married.
But for me, Easter day is different. I remember so many of them as I was growing up and spending the day with close and extended family and enjoying a big meal.

Easter and springtime is really the time of the year that reminds me that hope is eternal and all is possible. I hope today that you also enjoy celebrating Easter and spring for the promise that they both bring.

We have enjoyed a quiet weekend at home. We have gotten started on the spring yard-work, and just sitting outside warming up in the sun.

Easter and spring also represent hope to me. Enjoy the rest of your day!

ReplyDeleteIt sure feels good to have some nice warm weather to get outside. Happy Easter to all of you.
ReplyDeleteIt's a very cold morning here. I'm sure there's frost on the roof behind us, but that can't be right. It WILL turn into a beautiful day, so we'll head to the river to run around with friends for a couple of hours.
ReplyDeleteSo happy that snow seems to be gone for you. Enjoy that sunshine.

Since I was rescued on 12/22-I remember Christmases more. It's all about personal experiences.
ReplyDeleteGlad you all had a good Easter! Love that picture of Cissy.
ReplyDeleteHappy Spring and Happy belated Easter!
ReplyDeleteI hope all at Golden Pine had a blessed happy Easter. Sounds like you have wonderful memories of Easter growing up. I was reading your earlier post and love love the Washington, DC cherry blossoms. I am a fact puff an I knew most of what you told. But it was interesting to know we sent back a graft to be planted on the womens grave who got the whole idea together.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog

Glad you had a nice weekend. It was warm and sunny here but today we're paying for it with rain storms.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you had a Blessed Sunday, Kim.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful week. ♥
It was a quiet day here with good company and good food.
ReplyDeleteEaster has always been one of my favorite holidays. No big gift giving pressures. As kids, we usually got a basket with trinkets and candy from the bunny, followed by church, followed by Easter brunch. I still make the same meal today that my mom made when I was a kid. :) Hope you had a wonderful day. We had an absolutely beautiful Spring day!

ReplyDeleteThose memories will always find a place to nest in your heart-- those cherished memories will never part from you.
