Easter Decor (lest I forget)

This is an idea I got at the Dr.'s office just before Easter. They had used the small peeps bunnies, but when I got to the store to get them the large ones were all that was left. Easter grass on the bottom, peeps around the sides, I filled the center with M&Ms (but you could use jelly beans or something else), then Easter grass on top and I put a few chocolate eggs on top of the grass to hold it down a bit. I like the idea that I can change the contents for each holiday.

Moving up in the World...We're #1

Happy Easter to all! This is Don and Carol in the dining room for Easter dinner.And this is our new apartment...same address, just two doors down the hall in #001 instead of #003...it is a spacious 2 bedroom apartment, 1100 square feet...we are loving the space.
Another view of the living room (the TV goes on that blank wall) and all of the windows have the wide wooden louvered "plantation" shutters...Next is our little dining area...
another view...there is a door on the far right that leads to one of the porches...
This is our Den/Guest/Sewing room...

...and another view.
This is our bedroom (guess I should have opened the other shutters to let in more light..sorry).

Our bathroom.

And the Guest bathroom...
We are on the ground floor ("Creekside") on the front corner of the building. You can see our front porch and bench...
...and this is our side porch (we can still feed the ducks from here)
The view from our side porch... the creek...
Next is the view toward the side and front (toward the street)
and finally, the view from our little dining area window...spring in bloom and the beautiful snow capped Ocher Mountains in the distance...we loved our new home...come visit when you can.
