My Easter.




♩♩♫ Here comes Peter Cotton Tale....  My favorite song of spring. 
Here he is at his annual job, handsun guy, isn't he?


Here I am, "Back in the day" with Victoire. She was such a sweetie when it came to holidays. She was a stickler for keeping traditions going, and as far as I know, she is STILL keeping them alive. 



Can't have Easter without going to church! As a child I remember going to my Moms work, (she worked at the local geriatric facility) after church and sharing a little of our candy with the residents. I'm sure they loved it, seeing all the little kids dressed up in our Easter best.  I didn't mind going, it was the sharing that caused the anxiety, since that much chocolate only came once a year. Whats a kid to do?---- Yah, you guessed it, get the sermon from your Mom, about being a lucky kid that GOT lots of chocolate! She knew how to humble a kid, LOL.



Here's Charlie with the Easter bunny, a big kid at heart ❤


To top off our day, we had a big pot luck mainly cooked by my friend Patti and eaten at her brothers campsite. She loves to cook and feed everyone and lucky for all of us, she is a wonderful cook. We had ham and sweet potatoes, coleslaw, rolls, baked beans and MANY terrific deserts! 


Here we all are. It's nice to get together with friends on a holiday when you are a long way from home. 



So I hope everyone had a lovely day a enjoyed the festivities. To me even when I'm with family I like to spend time thinking back to years gone by, and all the special memories I have with past friends and family.  Easter is a holiday with happy memory's.

Yup! You guessed it the cat place, where you can drink your drinks, munch your snacks and pet cats the whole time, or if your like me you sit and watch the cats the whole time.  Tori was of course in her glory, petting a smooching cats everywhere.  Each of the cats have a pink or blue ribbon on them identifying them as male or female and with their name so you can look them up on a paper, that is on a table in the room, so you can tell how old they are.  I did find it very interesting watching the different cats interact with each other and us. They have little treats you can buy to entice them to come to you to be petted.  Tori was like this practically the whole time, this is her "happy place," amongst cats. Goodness she can go on and on about the virtues of each cat and she only met them once. This cat below is my kind of cat, wonderful to be seen but not touched. White, I like a white cat with a touch of black. They have "cat walks," u

I love the trailing days of fall, the light is different and the air feels just right. It always amazes me how the sun casts such a different kind of lighting onto the trees and other green thing this time of year almost like a spotlight but not harsh or hot.  I had a wonderful crop of raspberries just enough for a couple handfuls each day they were fun to watch progressing over the summer. At one point I had a scare. Some of the raspberry bushes got some kind of grub egg in them, I forget the name now but it lays an egg somehow that causes the top 3 inches or so to wilt. I googled it and got directions on how the save the plant and I think  I caught it in time. PHEW  I The garden as a whole is wonderful, a wild but productive place.  We have this one pretty maple tree in our backyard but unfortunately it may go next year we need the space to plant some fruit trees. I hate to cut trees but they grow like mad here.  I’ll leave you with my b
