Time is flying! We won’t do any decorating as we are kind of in survival mode around here with a newborn! But life is good. I don’t think I will do an Easter basket for Paul since he’s too young to really care. But his grandma might get him one. His dad has already said he will eat Paul’s candy. :) Phil bought some peanut butter eggs which is my fave Easter treat!! I hope the snow melts soon and spring arrives. We are having his baptism on 4/15 and it would be great to be able to be outside so our tiny house doesn’t feel so cramped!!

I have to do that. It's all brown outside here - both the yards and pasture are just brown. No snow. I looked out at the pasture a couple of days ago and tried to believe I saw a little difference, a little green... maybe... mixed in with all the brown. Soon, I tell myself. Soon. It's just sleeping at the moment.

I had everything all bullet outlined in my mind that I was going to write, and then got thrown a loop when I saw that Anita (the comment above) was also one of your followers. I have adored Anita since I first started blogging!<br />Anyway. Another charming post - love all the wonderful floral photos. It's still quite wintery here in Connecticut, so I think it's quite appropriate that this year Easter will fall on April Fool's Day!<br />I'm absolutely over-the-moon for that charming mandolin-strumming European style Victorian clown figurine! I adore all things circus - and especially that le cirque style!<br />Your final photo is such an enchanting ending - the perfect vignette with that rustic watering pail with flowers, the sparkly faux grass nest with speckled egg, and that lovely bunny. I do literally zero Easter decorating - but if I did, I know that I could take a lot of cues from you!<br />Thanks, as always, for sharing - and Happy Pink Saturday! - or Sunday as the case may be!Tristan Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00372571059339403974noreply@blogger.com
