Easter Decor - House finch update -



 Welcome to Easter at the cottage.

I almost didn't crawl through the attic to where they were hiding!
But then I thought, no, nothing should stop the little pleasantries of 
life when it comes to such a special holiday on the Christian calendar.
Don't we need to keep going, celebrate something in these dark hours,
take pleasure in springtime and the arrival of Easter?

The rabbits were waiting patiently, wrapped in crinkled tissue paper to
protect their beautiful ears, carefully tucked into box under the eaves.
Two little families, both cute, and happy to be free for a couple of weeks!
They bring a smile to my face. . . . . and to you I hope.




Outdoors we're in full pollen season now - and this year it's so heavy, 
especially from the oak trees. Everything has taken on a yellowish hue. . . . . . 


. . . . . and Mama finch is still sitting on her three eggs! 
Rather late hatching. 
Hopefully some time this weekend we'll have baby birds and more
 activity at the front porch nest when the dad helps with feeding.




No Easter egg hunts around here this year! Not much Easter candy
 either - bunnies prefer lettuce, don't they?


So, our Easter will be quiet, just as most days are right now.
Today will be great weather to be in the garden and perhaps 
supper in the gazebo.

Looking back at this collage from another year I'm glad I decided
 to do some decorating this year also. . . . . . . . .it would have left 
a big empty hole on my blog!

How about you, did you decorate? 
Even just a little decoration is cheery I assure you.
Enjoy your Easter weekend, stay safe, and blessings to all.
