In Grandma’s garden

Grandma Vita is always busy in her garden. Here are some of the plants and flowers that grow under Gma’s care.

A lot of her plants have stories, too. Like “that came from so-and-so’s garden,” “that was Uncle Charlie’s,” or “Sam (Jr.) built that.” The walnut tree was dug out by Uncle Charlie, who knew it wouldn’t grow if its trunk was buried. The deck was built by Uncle Charlie (with help from Sam Jr.). There is a lot of family history in her garden! More pics here.

Easter Egg Hunt

Easter Egg Hunt (2008) from Mike C on Vimeo.

Last week Lucy got to participate in her very first Easter Egg Hunt. Though she made a few rookie mistakes (the eggs go in the basket, kid), she did pretty well. Having her ever supportive Mom and assorted relatives close at hand helped a lot in that regard.

Seeing her eyes light up during her “Eureka!” moment, when she actually grasped the basic egg hunt concept of “finding stuff and putting it into a basket” was pretty cool. It was also neat watching her wobble around at her own (un)steady pace while her cousins whizzed this way and that, each clutching their own colorful bounty.

Unfortunately, we forgot to empty our camera’s memory card before going to the get-together, so the video and pics we got were very limited. However, the meager amount of pics we did manage to take have been posted here.
