Over the last week the ground and skies have erupted with blooms and bees.
It is magical to watch how much changes in just a day around here.
The bleeding hearts have started to flower, as the fruit trees and daffodils led the way.
I am sleeping with the windows open and watching the birds, bunnies, and bugs start their spring scurry into house making, food catching, and merry making.
Oh, I want the days to slow down just a little bit now so I don't miss a bud or song or creature.

| The short-lived but OH! so worth it, beautiful flowering plum trees. |
 |
| The Easter basket just purchased at New Oxford Show, last weekend. This felt bunny is probably only 2 decades old, but he packs a big punch of charm. |
 |
| The roosters, both 3 years apart from the same vendor at the New Oxford Show. David Little Antiques. He also sold me the Easter baskets. A great find and only $3.00 each. I love that show for so many reasons. |
 |
| 2 tiny peep bubble makers. One of my absolute all time favorite Easter finds! |
 |
| Some of my "best" Putz sheep. Alongside some great candy containers. |
 |
| Glass and paper mache candy containers. In the background is my lamb pull toy. She also "baah's." A gift from my husband for Christmas a few years back. |
 |
| Daffodils from the garden. One of the first harbingers of spring |
 |
| My Easter present from my mom. Her make-shift Easter card, a napkin, I love it! |
 |
| The inside of my Easter basket. A fabulous paper mache egg. With ducklings being pulled in a wagon by grasshoppers. |
 |
| Inside my great egg is a fantastic early PA wallpaper box with a bird on it. I can't believe my mom parted with this box. It is an amazing antique. I LOVE IT! Thanks Mom! |
 |
| Also in my Easter basket, 4 advertising cards. Most with dogs. |
She knows my favorites are the ones with dogs.
 |
| I am mad over the speckles this year. the candy, the meringues, the eggs. Just can't get enough speckles and pastels right now. |
 |
| My newest candy container. A perfect pink pastel egg and a rabbit playing a cello. I hope you all have a wonderful holiday full of love, good friends, and some children to color and hide eggs for! HAPPY EASTER!! |
