We had beautiful weather on Saturday for the best egg hunt around these parts. Unlike last year, this time everyone stayed dry. It was a huge turn-out. Ms. Kim stuffed and hid 1500 plastic eggs all by herself and what must have taken hours was undone in about 5 minutes tops. The children scurried round the field in the luscious green grass, so tall that it was up to most of their waists. It made an excellent cover which allowed the most patient hunters to find a surprising number even after most of the crowd had long given up.
Afterward the big brothers decided to sit a spell on the front porch of the store and take inventory of their loot while the adults went inside to shop.
By the time we reappeared to collect them they had nearly polished off every last bit of chocolate in their baskets.
I'm guessing freshly harvested chocolate treats are about as delicious as a sun warmed tomato plucked right from the vine. Everything tastes better in the sun and fresh air, right?
Our adventure culminated with some excellent antique tractor driving in the warm breeze.
I'd say it was about as perfect a morning as one could wish for when you are 6 and 3, or 34 for that matter!
