Saturday was rainy and cold and I spent most of the day mad at the weather for not being cooperative for yard work. Sunday was great however, and we spent the first part of the day faffing about the garden, raking leaves and planting seeds.
We started getting ready for Easter guests around 2pm and by 3 folks started showing up.We relied on Karen to bring the holiday cheer (eggs to hide) which she was happy to do.
Karen brought a basket of six plastic eggs, two cardboard eggs, a frog and one metal egg. Before she came inside our house she scattered them around the yard for Alden to find. Darrell came by with a giant Kinder egg with seven smaller eggs inside... Very awesome.
It turns out that Alden did not need all of the eggs. After he found all the ones Karen 'hid' we just walked around the yard hiding the same egg over and over. Wander wander wander. Hey Alden, is that an egg over there? Alden looks to the left. Drop the egg that was in my pocket next to the tree. Alden looks back and sees the egg. An Egg! Alden picks up egg and looks inside. Alden hands egg to me for safe keeping. I put egg in my pocket. Repeat.
We also had some good bee looking time. It was a warm day and they were nice and active.
All in all it was a lovely, quiet, Easter.
