Easter is close by and I am missing England, I miss shopping for Easter Eggs. Here there are Marshmallow chicks, solid chocolate bunnies and candy filled plastic eggs. But, the supermarkets aren't filled with aisle upon isle of gigantic hollow chocolate eggs. I loved shopping in the UK for Easter Eggs, the colors and choices were wonderful and the selection here just isn't that good. I will have to make do with some Lindt Chicks and Cadburys Creme Eggs, not a bad option but still not the same.
The weather has been a bit nuts, hot weather brings out all the spring flowers and tree blossoms, then we have a few inches of snow dumped which melts in 24 hours and the weather goes back to the 70s again only to hop back to snow a few days later. The poor horses are bouncing between moulting and shivering depending on the day and the flowers are trying their hardest not to die in the frosts.
Easter was always such a big deal in the UK, the kids are all off school for the long weekend and get full and crazy on too much sugar, here there is a regular school schedule which kind of dampens the whole deal. Its also a time i really miss being around my friends and family as I know what a big deal they make of it for Ethan.
