Easter Activities

Happy Easter!

Jeran and I did two different things Saturday night for an Easter celebration, of sorts.

Jeran cleared everything out of our shed/storage area and built new, sturdier shelves. There was a lot of stuff in there! This took him all evening but the shelves are marvelous!

















After helping with the shelves a bit, I went to a little Easter egg-decorating party. It was great. There were dyes, pipe cleaners, googly eyes, fluff balls, markers, etc. to decorate eggs with. Everyone did something different; there was a judge, a rabbit, the earth, tourists, a future self- portrait, and others. I decided to do a duckling. Or a chick. Or some sort of bird. Here it is:

My favorite road

Since moving to Durham, NC, I have come to really enjoy the area and its beauty. I love the greenness and the trees and the vines. There is one road in particular near where we live that I have fallen in love with. It is called Massey Chapel Road and I get to drive on it almost every day.

It starts out with some lovely, cute, nice little houses with awesome country yards.


Then you go around a bend and it becomes very pastoral. There is an old shed or barn with flowering vines growing all over it.

Across the road from the building is a pasture sloping down to a small lake. There are usually some nice cows and a few horses grazing in this pasture, as well as many geese that stop by. Down the road a bit there is a Volunteer Agricultural Farm with lots of mature grape vines and lots of garden space and a pond.

Then there is a lot of trees (which are basically everywhere along most roads) and a creek - Jeran rescued a turtle crossing the road by this creek once. There is a power line alley through the trees with an old blue bus posing in it.

Further along there are some more country houses. There is one house that Jeran and I would consider buying if it were for sale and we were feeling brave. Think Joe Dupnick. Ah, what potential. Anyhow, I love this road and the beautiful drive it is.
