Happy Easter, everyone!
In our case, today has been a Happy Eater, as we invited the inner family circle (which got our number up to 16) to an impromptu barbecue in the sunny side of our yard.
This is how it looked, just a couple of hours ago. In honor of the fact that it had come of age, and was eminently drinkable, we even popped a couple of bottles of 10 year old Margaux.
A very enjoyable afternoon.

Yesterday, Hubby took the monster horse out to try out his new harness, and as you can see, it fits like a glove. The two tiny Brats were taken for a ride, and loved it. Here’s a picture of the monster horse, Hercules, with Brats and handler:

Climbing the Himalayas? Island-hopping in Greece? All very well, surely, but I’m enjoying the coming of spring right here in my own back yard. If that makes me insular, so be it. At least I don’t have to pack a thing, or worry about planes, transfer, hotels, stomach bugs, or whether I could survive on yak milk.
Right now, that’s the way I like it.
Did I remember to wish everyone a Happy Easter? Never mind – one more time won’t hurt.
