Happy Easter Everyone!

Here is a special shout-out to my middle son JCB who is serving our country in the NAVY and couldn't be home for Easter....WE LOVE YOU AND COULDN'T BE MORE PROUD OF YOU!!!!

I had a great morning at church followed by baking, cooking and then out to my mom's for Easter dinner.

The Easter bunny came early to our house this year,,,Literally!

This is Louie the Lop eared bunny. Isn't he cute!

I am babysitting him for my friend DD. He is a birthday gift for her daughter.
Here is my oldest son JLB holing little louie, while jealous Lola looks on..........

DD had left the bunny in my kitchen while I was gone. When I came home our HUGE black cat (also named Louie) was perched on top of the carry-cage and there were wood chips from the cage all over my floor. Obviously Louie the cat was closely examining Louie the Bunny. My youngest JRB said " Louie (the cat) just wants to make friends!!!!!" (somehow I seriously doubt that!)

Lola loved to steal his carrots!

I also went on another little drive up the Mountain. Usually the pictures I take are from the valley floor looking west towards the Bitterroot Mountains but this time I was IN the mountains. It only takes about ten minutes to get on the mountain road from my house.

We saw this amazing bird house! I've never seen anything quite like it,,,,BRILLIANT!

A little further down the road I ran into some wild turkeys. Their chests were puffed out and they were strutting around enjoying the beautiful sunshine.

A family of deer were also out scouting the mountain side for a snacky-snack. I was able to get surprisingly close to them.

I stopped so I could get a postcard picture of the valley floor. I am looking East across the valley to the Sapphire Mountains here.

Pretty creek

Onward to cooking and baking for Easter dinner. In my house I am the baker. I don't like to do everyday cooking, maybe it has something to do with cooking for 3 hungry boys for many, many, many years,,,,now that they are grown, I just don't like to do it anymore. But I LOVE to bake! I love to make frilly pretty amazing deserts!
