This pretty card was sent to me from our dear friend Ann from Ann's Snap Edit Scrap. The little yellow Easter Egg came with it too, a sweet bonus to find when opening the card itself.
A perfect way to start this post.
I love it, thank you Ann, and such a sweet sentiment!
I didn't realize when I got my post ready last week, and said I was going to let you know where we went to, that today would be Easter. I was going to share Ann's Easter card on its own, to give it pride of place. However, and not to go back on my word, here are a few photos taken. I will go into more detail next week.
We are at the Turning Point Suffragist Memorial in Lorton, Virgina, not too far from Occoquan.
The birds were being taken care of here. I saw more birdhouses nearby, and here is one of them.
Gregg took two lovely photos, of this Mockingbird...
and an American Robin. The robins are everywhere right now.
I will end my post for now and give you more on another day next week, with more information. This is just a little preview.
Happy Easter to you all, and thanks again Ann.
Have a wonderful day everyone!
This card sure is on of Ann's best! And came with the sweet little gift of such an intricate egg!! Another interesting adventure for us to look forward to!

DeleteHooray for those brave women who fought so hard and so valiantly against gender discrimination. We need women to rise up again to combat an upswelling of discrimination and misogyny that is a feature of the modern right-wing political landscape - ably abetted by the Supreme Court, it seems.
ReplyDeleteThank you David, there are those I have admired in life, and the suffragettes have been at the top of my list. I admire them greatly, they never quit! Very worrying times indeed right now.
