Happy Easter / 52 Hike Challenge #12+13

Happy Easter weekend!!!

Friday I left work just a titch early in order to get home to do the new hike that Rose and Mike wanted to take me on. For EFC "recess" each day they've been going on "adventures" and exploring new deer paths in the neighborhood. This one followed an old, dried up stream bed on our firetruck farms property next door. It was fun to see something new so close to home.


Bart followed us for the entire walk!

On Friday night it started snowing and didn't let up until early Sunday morning. Blech. So we mostly stayed inside all day Saturday and I did lots of baking/cooking.


Bluberry/rhubarb/lime pie, parker house rolls,
homemade fettucine primavera, and cran-walnut bread
Sunday morning Rose immediately got hard to work finding her Easter basket (only took about an hour!) and the 32 fake eggs I'd hidden on our main floor. Then she surprised us and told me and Mike she had hid an egg for each of us in her room! She said we worked so hard to make Easter special for her, so she wanted to do something to make Easter special for us. (Isn't she the sweetest kid ever?!)





Can you see Mike plowing the road?





After our "linner" (lunch/dinner) we went for another hike to see how much snow was melting. Thankfully I don't think I need to put chains back on my truck, so now we can relax for the rest of the evening.

Hope you have all had a lovely Easter weekend! And happy Passover to our Jewish friends as well!!
