Easter Joy

We've got it now!

Just got back from our annual pre-Easter family confession, which would have been yesterday, but 15 inches of snow will put a crimp in the best of plans.



But in spite of all the snow, we know that spring will be here soon. Those flower pots will soon be brimming with impatiens, bright spots of color and life in the shade of the birch tree.



Those "winter interest" perennial stalks will soon have new green shoots.



The glider swing will be available for use again, free and unencumbered.



And these battered and broken evergreen bushes, weighted down by this year's snowfall -- the 2nd snowiest winter ever in Milwaukee -- will soon be standing up tall, showing new growth, ready to start anew.

Are you feeling the metaphor with me here? I hope so. It's all part of the Easter joy!

Thanks for the Easter candy! James pointed me to your blog, so I thought I'd leave a comment here. I haven't had a chance to read it yet, but I definitely will!

Hey Lori! What a nice surprise! Hope you like the candy. :-) (And sorry I spelled your name "Laurie" on the box... oops... in the future I'll get it right, promise!)

See you sometime soon, I hope.
