Violet

 The Wild Violets are here. They are totally covering some yards, and are so sweet!

“In the folds of the Blue Ridge, violets glow like pocket‑sized stars.”

The Best Of the Rest

 This house literally blew my mind. Although it resembles Christmas lights, it is an EASTER decorated house. I have never seen such a thing. It is only a few blocks away from us.

This is the cutest snail carrying an Easter egg. Too bad they put it behind their grill.

And the roof constantly changed colors!!

“A roof lined with lights is a house that smiles.”

The Easter Houses

 Here are a few of the houses around here now. This one always has a matching flag and mailbox for holidays.

“Easter looks best under open sky.”

The Cow Bunny

 I have really gotten behind in my Easter posts! So here is the first one. And of course it is the Big Cow. When we stopped to see him, he had some friends visiting.

They were curious about us.

The cow was, indeed, all ready for Easter.

He even had his own Easter basket.

If you are wondering about the Big Cat, he was totally NAKED! The first time I had seen him in such a sad state. I am wondering how his owners are doing.

“Peace looks a lot like a grazing cow.”

Easter Day 2026

 We had a nice day with family. And in reading your blogs, I found out we were not the only ones who had pizza. I made this Bunny Bait and everyone loved it.

The girls were wearing the exact same colors as their Easter baskets! This had not been planned and was a coincidence!

I thought Jazz's dress was really pretty and Eastery.

And I loved her shoes

Anne Marie was home from college for the weekend

One of the things I got her was this necklace that is mountains with a mustard seed inside. We live in the Blue Ridge Mountains

And this is us.

“The Easter baskets were clearly assembled by a giggling gnome.”

Easter Sunday 2026

 I hope each of you have a lovely and meaningful Easter. I am hoping to see some of your posts about what you did. I will be off today and maybe Monday to spend some time with family. 

The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples: ‘He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.’ Now I have told you.”

Matthew 28

Tiny Trumpets Of Spring

 . Here is the flag of our next-door neighbor.

I found these very tiny Daffodils down the street; almost like baby ones.

And every year I post the house a couple blocks away. They have bulbs in their yard instead of grass.

Do you know the difference between daffodils and jonquils? Well, here it is:

All jonquils are daffodils, but not all daffodils are jonquils.

“Daffodil” is the big umbrella for the whole Narcissus family.

“Jonquil” is one specific subgroup within it.
