Easter Sunday in Maine went off without a hitch. The weather, though cool and breezy, was at least sunny and dry! We’d been experiencing lots of rain and fog recently, and of course, it has also been known to snow in April, so we lucked out with a sunny day!

We had three generations of family participate in an Easter egg hunt, which consisted of children and adults running around a couple arces of land trying to find plastic coloured eggs which contained candies and money! Some of the eggs were in obvious places (purple egg below lying at the base of a mossy tree stump) while others were well concealed under bushes, where you really had to get down onto the ground to root out.

Of course, it wouldn’t be Easter without Easter lillies, hot cross buns, and a more recent addition to our festivities, peeps. Yeah, we’ve succumbed to whatever it is that makes people buy these sugar-incased-in-sugar concoctions.

One of the presents brought to the hosue was this gerber daisy which was quite fascinating. It had four flower heads all growing from the same stem. This is the first time I’ve seen this, but no one else seemed to find it unusual. Hmm.

All in all, it was a great day for getting together with family, sharing stories, taking photos and of course, microwaving peeps.
