A few days ago, the weather forecast was for sun on Saturday and rain for Easter Sunday. Clif and I had planned to have crab-meat rolls on the patio on Easter, but as the forecast didn’t look good, we decided to have the rolls on Saturday. After all, our philosophy is to celebrate early and celebrate often.
Saturday, as predicted, turned out to be a beauty of a day. In honor of the occasion and of the lovely weather, we brought out the round white table from down cellar. I felt like jumping up and down with joy. It is always a thrill to have the outside furniture on the patio, and soon the large green table will be joining the smaller one.
Oh, what a nice little feast we had, with a shared whoopie pie for dessert.
The sun was warm, the red buds were showing on the maples, and all around us birds called, sang, and twittered. Best of all, in April, there are no biting bugs to vex us, which makes time spent on the patio even sweeter.
Today, Easter Sunday, did indeed start out cloudy, and in the spirit of celebrating often, we decided to have a small Easter brunch of egg-in-toast and turkey bacon.
By eleven, the clouds were gone, the sun was shining, and I made a pot of green tea sweetened with honey. It will be chilled for iced tea for mid-afternoon when we go out on—you guessed it!—the patio.
It’s shaping up to be a lovely Easter weekend, the gateway to spring then summer and lots of time spent outside.
Notes From the Hinterland 
It sounds and looks like you had an amazing day. 🙂
A lovely weekend! Hope you had one, too.
I’ve been enjoying the bug-free days as well. As you well know, when you live near or in the woods, they can make being outside miserable! Happy Spring!
They sure can. But for now, happy, happy!
Happy Easter Laurie and Clif 🙂 x
Thanks so much! The same for you and your family.
Thank you Laurie 🙂
Lovely day (weekend) here too, though threats of thunder storms on & off. Stained the deck & half of the cabin (the side along the deck). Furnitures comes out next weekend. Just posted photos of my first successful redbud tree blooming. Cheers to Spring.

Oh, so glad spring is here.
