Wishing everyone a beautiful Easter Weekend.
It was indeed an exquisite day here in Santa Barbara, though I’m fending off a touch of melancholy as has been my custom the past few Easters; reminiscing about egg hunts with our little boys and how those days are long gone for us now. Peculiar that this holiday more than any other affects me in this way. I’ve one photo in particular of my little men with their Easter baskets that almost makes me weep every time I look at it. My older son’s hair is as gold as if the sun itself has bent to kiss him, and younger son is trailing along, sporting overalls at half-mast and a look that suggests he’s not at all satisfied with the day’s gatherings just yet.
But…
As nature (and Khalil Gibran) remind us
“Life goes not backward, nor tarries with yesterday…”

Columbines photographed today in the garden. I only have this colour at the moment, but I’m on the hunt for the coral and pale yellow combination as well.

I love the little tails that shoot out behind these flowers. They are a sweet addition to a bouquet.

Looks as if we’re going to have another bumper crop of roses this Spring and Summer!
I can barely stand how beautiful the colour of this rose is.
I could almost cry (again. Oh dear…)

Merci to a dear friend for my delicious bonbons
I hope you receive many treasures from your bunny(s) this Easter Morning!
