It was a glorious Easter. In fact it has been a glorious spring, and I meant to rave about the dogwoods, and then about the azaleas, and soon the rhododendrons--don't you love that name! I remember reading it in a book long ago and not knowing what rhododendrons were, but thinking the name was so intriguing and high brow! Anyway, we had a splendid Easter as you can see. Russel and I dressed the yard for most of the day Saturday, and then Sunday morning went to Easter service at 7:45. I know, crazy--but Aaron had to work at 11:00, so we went to the earliest of the 3 Easter services, then came home and made brunch--pancakes, ham, and eggs; stuffed Easter candy into plastic eggs, yes, this was for the grownup kids. Stephen won this year, Eliz usually wins of course.
