When we lived in St Louis, we often got rain on Good Friday. But in Colorado, we get snow. It's so frustrating to me, because I hate going out in the cold, but Charlie seems to love it. Fortunately for me, Bruce likes taking him for walks even if there is snow on the ground.
Luckily, we had our neighborhood Easter egg hunt last weekend when it was 80 degrees out. My job was to spread the eggs. They were supposed to be divided into 5 different age groups.
But once the head ref blew the whistle, everyone stormed the field - kids, adults, and dogs. I thought parents were supposed to stay on the sidelines taking photos, but I guess they wanted to make sure their kids scooped up plenty of eggs. The field was totally cleared in 15 seconds.
We hired an Easter bunny to take photos with the kids. I tried offering him a bottle of water, because it was so hot, but he declined. I realized later that he would have had to take his head off to drink the water, which might have freaked out some of the littler kids.
Bruce took advantage of the warm day to install our new solar garden light. He built a really nice redwood frame around it. I landscaped it with some large rocks and an evergreen plant. Luckily, we already had an irrigation line there, but Bruce had to dig down underneath the gravel to bring it up.
I went out to brunch this week with my Ladies Out to Lunch group. It's been ages since we've been together, and some of our members are still snowbirding in Arizona. When it's snowing out, I wish I were with them.
I went on an antiquing trip to Castle Rock with the Senior Center. The antiques were pretty disappointing - more like cutesy home decor stuff. But on the way home, we stopped at a bakery, and I bought some scones and brownies for Easter. Yum!
Easter marks the end of mine and Janet's Winter Bucket List challenge. I managed to check off most of the items in our list. I've watched a ton of movies on YouTube the last few weeks, but I never managed to find one I wanted to see at the theater. I've been out to lunch several times, but not really at a food court. I've filled up 2 boxes of junk for Goodwill, but never actually taken them over there. And somehow Valentine's Day totally passed me by.
But Charlie and I went for a walk in the park (one of the last things on my list). Charlie has actually started going with me when I make my Starbucks runs. He likes looking for pieces of scones that other customers might have dropped.
