We didn't roast a leg of lamb for Easter, but we did have delicious French toast with Nutella and strawberries. Bacon from Pastures A Plenty. Fresh grapefruit juice for la chica, coffee for me.
Then we set off to have our first real walk of Spring. No snow, no ice, no rain, no gusty winds: blue skies, fluffy clouds, and mild sun.
We spotted a rabbit down the block, the second time I've seen one in that spot. Bird-watching was great: grackles, crows, robins galore, a yellow-rumped warbler, Canadian goose in the Walker Sculpture Garden, red-winged blackbirds and a mallard in Loring Park, assorted sparrows. We heard cardinals and finches but didn't see any. Blooming were forsythia, crocuses, blue and white squill, daffodils, lots of tulips, and our first dandelions of spring. The peonies are sprouting, still tender reddish shoots. In the sculpture garden, there were many well-dressed toddlers in their Easter outfits.
At Joe's Garage we had lemonade, fruit, potatoes, and desserts. By the time we walked home again, both of us were tired, but in that good way that comes from walking with a smile.
Today, I can't help but sing all the great Easter Parade songs by Irving Berlin:
