Oh, to celebrate Easter without Cadbury Creme Eggs would be a sin - don't know if Susie put them in my moving box before I left or the Easter Bunny was making early rounds at Lake of the Ozarks. It may seem confusing - but the pine tree is not an easter decoration. There were four eggs, then three and now only two are left.
Quick history of the Easter Egg:
The egg is widely used as a symbol of the start of new life, just as new life emerges from an egg when the chick hatches out.
The ancient Persians painted eggs for Nowrooz, their New Year celebration, which falls on the Spring equinox. The Nawrooz tradition has existed for at least 2,500 years. From Wikipedia (of course)
New job, New location, New beginning - my life fits right into the season and the egg tradition (just hope it's not rotten-sorry, always have to throw in a little bad humor). . .
Not sure they envisioned Hershey making chocolate covered creme filled eggs - but I'm glad Hershey did.
Here's a few pics from Steamboat - not great - but will give you an overview of my surrounding right now. Most of the pics were taken from the parking lot of the Hilltop property. Hilltop offers view (hence the name) and the Suites location is a little closer to the mountain and some shopping. Don't have any from downtown or inside pics. Those will come later.
We've had warm weather this past week and a tremendous amount of snow-melt. They call late April and most of May MUD-SEASON for a reason. We're wondering how many dead bodies we'll find on the properties once the snow drifts melt.
Have a great Easter - I think about everyone often.

Great pictures! It's hard to imagine late spring/summer. Enjoy the snow which, I think, we were trained to dislike! I love it!
