Early Easter Morning

What did I view early this morning?
Coral Bells never fail me with their beauty
just a little early this year.
Field prepared, corn planted and
any day should start emerging.

Memories, of little ones with new outfits, lacy socks,
shiny shoes, new little sport coat and tie.
Easter baskets, hidden eggs, church, and
wonderful prepared meal.

A beautiful morning with all of my family
in other locations
but one - who will soon visit and have
lunch with her mama.

Life goes on, changes and nothing remains
the same.

in many ways the changes are the true spice of life. leaving some things behind to open new doors. memories sustain us as we explore and find new joys.

i love the heucheras, too! coral bells, as they are commonly called but i was introduced to them here by the name "heucheras" having never seen them in atlanta, are such a beautiful and dependable plant. ours are a long way from sending up their bloomscapes though. i especially love the lemon chartreuse variety mixed in a bed with autumn red ones. oh, my!

happy easter, ernestine! egghunt here today even though we have no kids around. we'll hide and find them ourselves! ;))

Sky, thank you. The colors of my image came out colorful. The large bush is an Oakleaf Hydranga and one small in front Hosta.
Oh, everything is so early.
Maybe I should have an egghunt for me :)

I also had memories of my little ones in their new dresses and the Easter baskets with eggs they had colored the day before. Times have changed; I didn't hear from any of them yesterday so Popa and I spent the day together.

Lovely, peaceful surroundings you have there.

Our little ones all shiny in their new spring clothes and we with our new hats--ready for church. Brings back so many memories. Now people show up in blue jeans and sneakers--some even on Easter sunday.

I missed this post. How? I don't know. Lovely photos of nature's best, good memories. I don't know Coral Bells.

Life does change, twists and turns for sure, i am better at going with the flow than in my younger days. Not perfect mind you, but better.

Our children and grandchildren have their own lives and we see them less. This is normal I know, I did it, saw less of my family. I had my own life.

For me alone is hard, even though I like a lot of alone time.

Hope the doctor visit went well, hope you are doing well. You are in my prayers.

Love you...I realized Sunday was the first ever Easter I have not spent with you! We had fun in Chattanooga. I had to make arrangements for the Easter Bunny to come while we were gone. ;)
