Today is Easter Sunday
As a family today we are off to church this morning and then we are spending the afternoon outside enjoying the countryside as we visit the town of Saint Emilion. It's become our Easter tradition since living in France to visit some place and just be outside and together as a family.
It's a beautiful day to reflect and start new - just like the season - Spring - beginning again, starting over, rebirth and renew. I love this day! For me it's spiritual - it's the perfect time to leave behind any doubts, any frustrations, any misgivings and step into a new time, a fresh start. Even if you don't celebrate Easter - do you feel the vibrations of the season?
We have had beautiful weather for the past week and everything around us is blooming - here are a few shots from around Bordeaux.
Of course, there are the fun traditions for the kids interwoven into today - the Easter bunny left baskets for the girls which were found this morning and our breakfast will be eggs, fresh fruit and croissants. Yesterday, we enjoyed coloring our eggs - I decided - it doesn't matter how old you are - it's always fun.
Wishing everyone a wonderful day! May you be inspired to reflect into the beauty and wonders of life. I'll be back a bit later in the week sharing how we spent our afternoon.
This is very pretty. My family and I spent Good Friday out with nature and had a family picnic in the park.

Happy Easter! Such lovely colours and the eggs are great! We went to a lovely flower market this morning and stocked up on some beautiful colours for outside our house (I'm drawn towards pinks and purples) and we're celebrating Easter with family today. Have a lovely day!

ReplyDeleteSpring in Bordeaux looks lovely! Nice shots and enjoy the continually improving weather.
ReplyDeleteNice photos! I've seen painted eggs a few places lately - is that an American Easter tradition or something? Or did my parents just not like paint?
