Alas, I don't know exactly what kind of flowering tree this was,
but isn't this flower stunning!

I have many happy memories of Easter including, going to the Easter Church Service to celebrate Jesus' Resurrection, hunting for real, hard boiled, dyed eggs as a kid in my backyard with my 2 sisters and brother and Easter Family dinner with extended family that included leg of lamb with mint jelly and lots of other wonderful food. My older sister and I would always have dish duty to hand wash and dry all of the china, crystal goblets and silverware(yes the real honest to gosh fork, knives and spoons that you had to polish if they got tarnished silver).

Fast forward to prepping for the Easter egg hunt for my kids still included dyeing real eggs, but then add in to that, filling lots of plastic eggs with chocolate candy and dimes and nickels and the occasional quarter. Of course all of this had to be done after they went to bed and the next morning you had to get up really early to hide all of the eggs!

My kids have been grown now for a few years and Easter will be pretty quiet - no dyeing eggs or filling plastic eggs the night before. We've already been to church and we will go to an Easter Brunch with some friends and family.

I always knew why we celebrated Easter, even as a kid - it wasn't really about an Easter rabbit delivering eggs - that was just some side fun - no it was and is for me about remembering that Jesus was resurrected and is my Savior!

Happy Blessed Easter!
