Our Easter morning was soggy.
We had five hours of pouring rain in the middle of the night.
The front lawn was a sponge, and the backyard a quagmire.
Do we do the egg hunt and where?
The weather this last month has been awful,
we've only been home for two decent days in the last two weeks to do yard work.

At 9AM, I threw a few flowers on the table on the front porch
and put my greenhouse geranium and
rosemary pot out.

Just as well, skinny jeans are perfect for the 'wet' and messy yard.

Taking pictures of kids dashing about the yard results in lots of blurs, and unposed chaos.

Most elusive were the hanging umbrellas. The kids had to be prompted by the adults.

We save the eggs to use from year to year, a GREEN thing to do.
I throw them in a net bag and into the dishwasher.

I guess the umbrellas were a hit.
Hope you all had a Happy Easter!
