First Easter

It's been a great weekend! We celebrated Easter with an early morning stroll at Mercer Arboretum. We only saw two other people there. It was beautiful and peaceful (aside from almost walking face first into an enormous orb spider web. Yikes!). After our weekly trip to Hubbell and Hudson, we went home and decorated some easter eggs. We had hoped to pull out our little pool to let Aurelia splash around, but the wind was terrible and both Aurelia and I have been suffering from allergies this week. We took plenty of pictures to share.

My easter present - an antique tibetan box.
Garrett's easter present - deviled eggs.

 This cardinal was singing a very nice song for us while we explored the gardens.




 I was actually quite excited to find this enormous and blooming Gardenia. One of my favorite flowers.

Second from the right is our Donald Trump easter egg monster. I thought it was a pretty good likeness.
We hope you all had as lovely an Easter as we did.
