Happy Easter, Easter Bunny!

So our ambitious tree planting goals are on hold. It is much chillier than we were expecting. We have had frost the past couple of days. When people in New England speak about their own weather and say, “If you don’t like the weather wait a minute,” they clearly haven’t spent much time in North Carolina. Last week high 80′s, this week high 20′s. Really all winter I had no idea when I woke up in the morning if I should wear short sleeves or a heavy coat. Then spring came and it was so warm and nice for so long and now it feels like winter again.

So instead of planting, I am baking. We are bringing cupcakes and pumpkin bread to Kate and Peter’s today. Pat impressed me by finding Easter-themed cupcake papers. The pumpkin bread is baking right now and it smells so good! Is pumpkin bread just a fall/winter thing? Well it feels like winter, so we are going to have it.

Zoe has reached new heights of spoiledness. Not only does she beg me to put her harness on, now she begs to drink out of a regular glass. And I am not about to share with someone who sticks their tongue in my water, so she gets her own… Have I crossed a line? She’s just so cute about it. I am a sucker.

But anyway, Happy Easter, eat some candy.
