When I think of Easter, I think of my Grandma. Actually, I think of both of my Grandparents and the rest of my family,too.
My sisters, parents, and I would travel to Pinehurst, NC for the holiday. We’d participate in all the usual Easter things.
Decorating eggs for the Easter Bunny to hide (and somehow, Grandpa always found the last one!)
Attending services in the Chapel on the Village Green (where all the children received a potted Easter Lilly)
Enjoying an incredible meal, which always included lamb and homemade mint sauce.
It somehow just doesn’t seem right to not be with family this weekend, so I’m thankful that I have years and years of memories to make me smile.
Have a lovely Easter weekend!

Thank you, Amy. Enjoy this weekend where you are! I hope it brings you joy 🙂
Thank you, Sweetie. Yes, lots of JOY I do have!!! Love, Amy
You’ve got such wonderful memories of Easter Laurie! It truly is a holiday best spent with family. Beautiful photos! Have a lovely Easter weekend! 🙂
And to you, Elina, and thank you!
Warm memories of childhood and family are an excellent choice to go with your Easter photos. Your words made me travel back in time in my mind, too. These are all so beautiful. Somehow that shade of pink is as Springlike as it gets.
Crystal, I’m glad you remembered Easters past as well. I’m assuming you’ll get outside with your girl or your guy – enjoy the weekend, whatever you do!
Sounds like perfect Easter memories…..we used to paint hard boiled eggs and then go roll them down a hill in an egg race 🙂
Oh how fun!! Aren’t those childhood memories precious?
Enjoy your Easter weekend, Seonaid.
Happy Easter LB

Thank you, Andro! and to you!! 🙂
Thanks you for sharing your memories and the awesome spring tribute to spring blossoms. Just glorious. Happy Easter Laurie!
Thank you, K! What might you be doing for fun this weekend? I’ll have to visit your FB page today to see 🙂 You’ve got some exciting things in store, and I’m so happy for you!!
Happy, happy weekend! xoxo
Thanks LB! I’m actually off to work this morning. I’m so happy to be saying that again and be able to toodle off to a fun job! Tomorrow we’re zooming out to my brothers for the day. You might have met my SIL Adele at the odd post about her flower shop. So it will be a day of silliness and wine, and Adele’s a great cook. Sure would be cool if you could zoom by, you’d have lot’s of fun 😀 xoxo
Happy Easter Laurie! 🙂
And to you, Klaudia! Enjoy the weekend and I hope it is lovely were you are!
Have a nice Easter! 🙂
Thank you! I hope you are fully recovered and able to enjoy this Easter weekend!
Thank you for giving us such gorgeous flowers for Easter. Enjoy the bounty of an Easter weekend well into Spring and warmer days. Sending warm hugs!!
Thank you, Mary. I so wish I had your gift with words … they always make me smile.
Happy Easter to you!!!
Many of your thoughts mirror mine. When very young, a new hat, gloves or dress/coat would appear so that we could be appropriately dressed for church service. Not so any more but the memories are still fresh!!!! Easter Blessings………………….
I too have those memories of new and special clothing for church. Such precious memories and I’m glad you shared yours with me! Happy Easter!
Thank you, Dearheart………………………
What a lovely tribute to your family, Laurie. Our happy memories help sustain us when our current reality veers off the track. Gorgeous photos. I lingered over all of them.
I was going to buy some flowers for myself for Easter, LB, but I’m so glad I decided not to. I’ve savoured these beautiful Spring blossoms instead!! It’s tricky when life moves on – I often think of my grandparents, too, at Easter. It’s so true that you’ve got to make the most of every day with those you love. Have a wonderful Easter, LB! xoxoxoxoxoxoxox
Wonderful photos! Well done!
Happy Easter to you!
Wonderful photos, – well done!
Happy Easter to you!
I’m truly not sure why I am just seeing this today … over 3 months later … but thanks so much for commenting!
If it’s summer where you are, Happy Summer 🙂
Happy Belated Easter to you! I hope you had a wonderful day.
Beautiful post Laurie and happy belated Easter. Don’t know how I missed this post.
Beautiful capture of the spring flowers, Laurie! Love the light on them. Love , love, love flowers!
And it’s definitely nice to be with family on Easter weekend. I can’t imagine otherwise either.
