Where are we today ?
A beautiful sunrise this morning through the trees and over the neighbor's barn, even not too cool today either. Mostly sunny and temps to 20 C (68F), whats not to like about that.
A couple of nice walkabouts this morning, enjoying the peace and quiet and fresh country air is wonderful. Near the edge of the bush I think I found the Easter Bunny! Saw a bunch of what looked like tiny brown eggs, but don't think they have hatched yet?

Then mid morning we helped our hostess Sandy get ready for the Easter feast here. She roasted a Turkey and a chicken, lots of nice gravy, creamy whipped potatoes, mixed veggies, broccoli salad, cheese and veggie tray. More of Suzie's family, parents, siblings, a niece and nephew and their little ones too. 19 expected today for a 1 pm meal.
Now we have a large turkey, chicken carcass and a some drippings, will freeze that and make another pot of soup in the near future, need to get through the bean soup first.

| ready for the family |

| the feast is ready, dig in and help yourself, buffet style is easiest |
 |
| Oh so tasty |
 |
| Pecan pie, cupcakes, ice cream and fresh fruit for desert, I opted for a tiny bit of fresh fruit and ice cream |
Then as always happens conversation about all the wonderful things we have all been doing. Family gatherings are so much fun.
Another couple walkabouts to wrap up the day, everybody gone and then we can call it another fine day, no supper tonight again. But did manage to sit outside for a while and enjoy our books in the sun until about 7:30 pm.
Tomorrow another small get together with the rest of my family. And think we will have seen just about everyone this spring.
Hope you enjoyed some great weather on this Easter sunday too.
Thanks again for stopping by and joining in on our fun.

Looks like the Easter Bunny to me :) You do eat very very well and both manage to stay so slim. Good on you. Lucky you with that great weather.
ReplyDeleteLoving the great weather. Most everything we eat is home cooked, not prepared food. Eating at regular hours and portion control really does make a difference.
DeleteHappy Easter George....the weather is looking not too bad there, should be back up home soon ourselves.
ReplyDeletePretty decent weather here now, travel a safe.
DeleteYou've sure packed a lot of great meals into this Easter long weekend. Nice going!
ReplyDeleteYes we sure did, soon back to reality!
DeleteWhat a treat to enjoy so many wonderful family meals with relatives, at this festive time of the year....or any time, for that matter. Good food photos too!
ReplyDeleteWe are seeing everyone as soon as we can after being away for the winter, nice that the family all lives so close.
DeleteAll that food and all those people --- what a wonderful time it is for both of you.
ReplyDeleteYes is so much fun , family overload and thats a good thing.
DeleteI remember those days of family dinners... sure were some great cooks in my childhood... G'mas and Aunts. Then we all grew apart when the old ones died ... the new ones didn't like each other much ... lol?
ReplyDeleteI envy those of you who have great family get togethers. You're very lucky ~ that everyone gets along...
We are so lucky for the most part, still a huge group that has drifted away.. kinda sad.. but thats life.
