Easter Morning

White lilacs are so beautiful and smell so heavenly.

It is Easter morning. This is one of my favorite holidays. It is so joyous, celebrating the Lord's resurrection from the dead. It is also a great time of year: spring, bursting with life and beauty. 

This morning, Jacob is sleeping because he is so sick. I am also sick but not as bad. I cooked some pasca, which is a traditional Romanian Easter bread (even though I usually make it for Christmas). I am working on a puzzle we got last week. It's a pretty cool painting of an eagle. 

I am sad that we aren't going to church this morning, and we won't be able to hang out with family this afternoon. But I know that Jesus still rose from the dead, no matter how bad we're feeling and no matter if we go to church or not. Also, the birds are still singing, so cheerfully. It's sunny and bright. And, even though he's sick, I get to spend the day with my best friend. 

So, I guess this will be an Easter to remember, or forget, depending on how you look at it. 

Baxter Gardens

I discovered a nearby garden that is private but open to the public during the month April, so last week we checked it out. We loved it. 

These flowers smelled so good. 

There was a lot of phlox, and it looked so pretty all spread out on the ground. 

The house on the property. 

The Asian style garden was a maize. 

I loved the azalea garden because I really love azaleas. 

I was trying to get Jacob to pose. 

Oh, yeah, I'm 25 now, too. I'm sure you wanted to know about that.

I Really Love Taking Pictures of Flowers and Nature

 

In the evening, the sun actually comes into our apartment, and I love it. 

The dogwoods are in bloom all over the place. 

These little guys guys are so tiny and intricate. 

I'm loving my garden. It's so fresh and green and alive. 

I love the phlox. 

Little weed flowers in my garden grass.
