This year, more than ever before on Easter weekend, I felt the nervous anticipation, the heavy waiting, and the exuberance of the morning of resurrection. He is risen!
Adam made two large batches of hot cross buns this year, one for his students at school and one for our parishioners at church.
We had lovely Easter lilies in the sanctuary, with the last of the daffodils and a bunch of Spanish bluebells from our yard.
Adam was quite busy during the Easter season this year: a program at school where he was a narrator, Easter sunrise service, and then our usual services at church, along with a song from our handchime choir (I direct; he plays). After church we took hot cross buns and lilies to two of our shut-ins. It was lovely to visit with them.
Sunrise services are too early for me. I joke that I'd love to attend them if they were later! But I took a picture of the sunrise from our front porch. Adam says the service by the riverfront in Oriental was very well attended.
I'm still painting a little, not as much as I used to. The photo at the end is a little one I did recently that I do like.
May you, dear friend, continue to feel the wonderful inner glow of joy that comes from knowing that our best friend, rescuer, Lord and brother, Jesus Christ, overcame death Himself, and for us also. That means -- eternity! All the joys of heaven are ours. Amen.

Ah such lovely pictures of a wonderful Easter celebration. Yes He Is Risen! Hope April brings you many more blessings. Hugs!
Adam's hotcross buns look wonderful. I've never tried making any but I really should. Sweet dough and raisins...what's not to like!
As I looked at the pictures of the Easter Lilies in your church I realized that there were flowers on the altar yesterday but not a Lily to be seen. How strange.
I hope you and Adam are doing well.
Great blog
