spring at last

Even in Boston, it looks like spring is here at last. Except for our little snowstorm last week, we've had sunny days and temps up in the high 40's. We've reclaimed the sidewalks and the playground from the snow and reacquainted ourselves with neighbors we haven't seen all winter long. And the final proof - a visit from the Easter Bunny.


yes, we are using the Halloween pumpkin
as an Easter Basket

And look what he left in mommy's (knitting) basket.


more on these yummy treats tomorrow!

Here's hoping that the Easter Bunny and the spring sentinels make your day a special one.

Love those holiday items that can be used multiple times a year!

Looks like the Easter Bunny knows you pretty well---what lovely colors! Enjoy!

Send that Easter bunny over here! I have a (knitting) basket too!

The boys must be having a ball. Have a great day!

What a great color mix? Who helped the bunny with this great combo. Can't wait to see what your planning!

Happy Easter, Happy Spring,

I thought for a second that was a picture of one of the kids crashing after a easter sugar high! Happy Easter!

Happy Easter, Alison! My Easter Bunny brought me Peeps, so I guess I can't complain, but that yarn is gorgeous!

Wow, the East Coast Easter Bunny is good to you! I'm going to have to talk to the one out here...the weather must make him lazy!

Isn't that the retro yarn formerly contained in a bread bag?

The Easter Bunny was good to you. My Easter Bunny is coming by tomorrow after he hits the post Easter candy sales, cause he's cheap :)

What do you know?! Our kids did the same thing...pulled out their Halloween pumpkins and used them as Easter baskets! So the creativity has filtered down! Love your blog.
