After Easter Springtime Happenings

Another Easter Sunday has come and gone; we had a lovely holiday complete with a baked ham dinner and all the fixings at a table surrounded by family and friends. Lynnleigh spent the night with us on Saturday and helped to decorate some beautiful eggs which added festive color to the  dessert table laid out with bunny and chick cupcakes. The Egg-mazing egg decorator was one that I saw advertised and ordered off of Amazon. It did NOT disappoint! The results speak for themselves... and no mess! Win-win!
We've got Bluebirds nesting- mama is currently sitting on 5 eggs, new life abounds!
These minature white Iris came from my childhood home, 
they never bloom long enough for me!
Mr. G and I (and Augie!) spent all day Monday cleaning up the perennial garden. Weeding, trimming, spreading mulch. It was like a reunion with old friends as I discovered Columbine, Blue Fortune, Cranesbill, Brazilian Verbena, Echinacea, Daisies and Garden Phlox all reemerging from a long, cold and snowy winter; welcome back!
It was a great day. Yesterday I could b-a-r-e-l-y move after all that work on my hands and knees! Ha!! No pain, no gain? Maybe. 🤔
That didn't stop me from my daily walking regimen, I'm still committed  to that;
although the uphills were a bit more ouchy than usual yesterday.
Someone is happy that it's porch weather again!
Spring is here, in all its glory!
Life is Good!

Beautiful, vibrant eggs!
I love the scenes from your yard. What a peaceful, lovely place.
Wow--good for you on the step count. I rarely get that high anymore.
