spring time
flowers
freshness
hunting for easter eggs
just a clean start, everything new
its always been a time of year my family gets together
and we dye easter eggs
and we have a big easter egg hunt
even now, with the kids being adults, i still make them dye easter eggs
and they like it
actually they love it
the girlfriends have gotten excited about it now
their families never did anything like this
what?
and i thought my family was dysfunctional
and yet we seem way above normal
its the traditions
those stick with the kids
through the years
they have stuck with me
and it seems odd when we dont stick with them
i miss these days tho
the days when i was young
and had no worries
my sister and i, always having to put on our new easter dress
always had the shoes, hat and new purse to match!
every year until we were teenagers
then we started doing the same thing to our own kids
the smell of the blooming flowers
the freshness of rain
the butterflies
all reminds me of spring and the wonderful memories we had
memories
cherish them
