I have spent my spare time this week in the garden. I love digging and planting. It is my time to meditate and ponder. My thoughts have been on Easter. I am so grateful for the atonement of Jesus Christ and the promise of Resurrection.
I always feel grateful and a little special when I have guests in my garden. I was out enjoying the cool and beauty of Easter morning. I found this bright Giant Swallowtail still sleeping on my climbing rose. There were three more in the backyard flitting around.
A couple shots from the egg hunt.
Our neighbor sent a treat for us.
They are from Romania and she makes the most beautiful pastries. They are very different from anything I have ever eaten. Not as sweet as American cookies. I especially liked the yellow and the round ones on this plate of goodies.
You have such a lovely garden, beautiful butterflies and children alike, and the sweetest neighbors. Happy Easter to you and yours!
ReplyDeleteI was reading about Sister Francis Monson and my favorite comment by one of her children discussed their pets-- apparently she allowed them to keep a snake in the bathtub! Kinda reminded me of the various creatures you let us keep (scorpions, black widows, chickens).
