Life: Through the Lens

Today was our annual egg hunt...grandchildren and eggs and decorating...and delicious food. And sugar. Lots and lots of sugar. This year's culinary experiment was creating cupcakes to look like Easter eggs in the grass. Interesting. I usually create the first few before the grandkids get here, just to work out the "bugs," then we complete the decorating process while their parents hide the eggs outside. It keeps everyone pleasantly distracted and it's fun, too! May you all have a wonderful Easter celebration.

Spring has been long in coming. I'm busy trying to wrap up the semester, and take care of other university business, and that distracts me somewhat. The tease of warmth and sunshine appears periodically. But mostly it feels like we've been waiting and waiting...snow, rain, sleet, sun, snow, rain, sleet....you get the picture. I just heard thunder, which is a really good sign! It makes up for the snow of about an hour ago. The annual Easter egg hunt is here Saturday and it would be so wonderful to have good weather for this event. I'm busy planning the activity I'll lead with the grandchildren while the eggs are being hidden outside. One idea is to decorate eggs, another is to decorate cupcakes. Right now the cupcakes are winning!
