No Godiva Bunnies

I brought a few of my daffodils inside to enjoy this Easter weekend. They probably won't last more than a week outside anyway. The pretty card is from my sister-in-law who lives in Wisconsin.

I looked for the chocolate Godiva bunnies in 4 stores (3 that had them last year). I didn't get to Walmart so maybe they had them. All I could find were the Lindt bunnies which after my previous "taste test" I had decided were not as tasty. So this year we have Godiva candies in a bag instead. They were sitting in the Easter candy aisle at Walgreen's and were on sale. They will probably be more interesting than the chocolate bunny.


Usually, we have scrambled eggs on Sunday, but tomorrow I am going to bake an already-prepared quiche Lorraine. We also have some chocolate chip scones which were substitutes in my on-line order/parking lot pickup groceries. I had ordered vanilla scones. I also ordered strawberries which were out-of-stock re the Kroger employee. I debated whether to go to a grocery store today to find strawberries for tomorrow's breakfast but decided I don't want to be in a crowded store. We will have the Mandarin oranges by themselves. 

Have a blessed Easter celebrating our Lord's resurrection.

Godiva Wins

In looking for a chocolate Easter bunny, I limited myself to those in dark chocolate. The Godiva I think we had once before; the Lindt was new to us. I liked both. My husband said the Lindt was too dark and tasted bitter to him. Keep in mind that I like semisweet chocolate. So the Godiva wins and will be next year's choice. Probably just one bunny next year, too. All this candy is starting to show up on the scale.

The pear tree blossoms are open! I saw a few neighborhood tulips not quite open. My quince bush has buds, some showing a coral tinge. Spring is really here! Quite a bit of rain in the forecast, however. I don't have much time for walking outdoors next week anyway. I have a summons to jury duty in Warsaw; I have to call the night before because the case might be settled out of court.

I went to the North Webster Friends of the Library book sale this morning. I bought 5 decorating books to desecrate by cutting out photos for my decorating folders. One is about Barbra Streisand's house decorating. I really like her style. The others are mostly cottage and country decorating. One is about using baskets in decorating, describing the many kinds of baskets. I really like baskets. If I had a beamed ceiling, I would collect and hang baskets. Now I just have to be satisfied to read about them and peruse photos.
