Easter has always been one of my favorite times of the year, and this one was no exception. From the time I was young, and Easter was mostly about candy, I have loved Easter. The mention of Easter brings to mind flowers, pretty clothes, blue skies, and family dinners.
Now, I realize that all Easters are not like that. There was the Easter when it snowed so badly that I had to spend the night at a friend's home when I went there for dinner. There have been Easters when it poured buckets, and Easters when it was so hot that the chocolate was melting. There was the Easter when my younger daughter, looking lovely in a pink dress with pink lady slipper orchids embroidered on her white collar, white tights, and Mary Janes went outdoors while we were getting ready. It had rained during the night and she was busy picking all of the worms up off the driveway so that the car wouldn't run over them. (Actually, the worms didn't do much damage to the outfit. It was the dive onto the wet grass and the sweet roll at the church brunch that did the most damage!)
This Easter was a good one. I made the bunny buns for breakfast that my mother had made for the family for years and that I now make every year. We had Easter Eggs to go with them for breakfast. We had a great dinner with friends on Good Friday, church on Sunday, and a quiet day with a good dinner. I even spent an hour just sitting with a cat or two on my lap and a book in my hand. Yes, it was chilly and damp, and at times the rain poured down. Still the flowers were blooming outside and, in my head, the skies were blue, the sun was shining, and the air was warm.
