Ah, spring is finally here. My soul rejoices! Last week, I headed south for a much-needed visit with friends and family.Easter at the farm--egg painting, hunting, time spent with relatives and of course my mom looking so beautiful. The magnolia tree was in full bloom, my favorite spot in the world:
Clearly I am no egg artist, but I had fun because it involved getting messy!
And if I can remember this container of food dye from when I was a very young child (like, my earliest memories of egg painting, I was probably 3 or 4), then I *think* it's time to throw it out.
So much fun seeing the next generation hunt for eggs!
Headed south to visit my good friend Steph near Annapolis. Spent the day touring the downtown, popping in a spice shop to smell black truffle salt, drink iced coffee by the water, and generally enjoy the sunshine and warm weather.
Not pictured: some great conversation and food shared throughout the day. Nothing fills the soul like a good friend's company. Popped over to D.C. to visit my great aunt Arlene. Together, we headed to Arlington cemetery to see Tony. It's a strange feeling to know someone who is buried here, but it's such a beautiful space, very humbling:
Grilled dinner and dessert (meringue, yum!) at Arlene's home on her pretty back patio. I am so blessed to have my Grandma's younger sister in my life. Her wisdom, humor and strength are inspiring:
I am so blessed!
