What do Easter and snow have in common?
Very little, except this year when the holiday coincided with April Fool's Day, Sunday, April 1. Mother Nature got the message a bit late, and played a weather prank 24 hours later.
Thanks for the well wishes for the Easter holiday. We hope your holiday was happy.
As in previous years, we were in RI to enjoy some fun activities with the grandkids. This year we arrived early to attend grandson's science fair. His project was on salinity.
An egg hunt and egg coloring were highlights on Saturday. Everyone
created some colorful eggs.
Easter Sunday we traveled to CT for a family gathering and holiday celebration. And, there was another egg hunt, organized by Grenville's aunt Anita.
Youngest granddaughter celebrated the holiday with her family at home.
Easter in CT is traditionally a time to celebrate family members with birthdays in March and April. The celebrants (all cousins) gathered for a group photo.
Soon enough that beautiful weekend weather was a thing of the past. Monday morning was quite a different situation as seen in this 9 a.m. view from our RI hotel.
This was a wet snow that clung to the trees creating a winter wonderland. The photos, which were taken in color, have a monochromatic look.
The 90-minute drive from Warwick, RI to Nashua, NH, was like driving in a blizzard in some areas. Thankfully, the temperature was warm enough so the highway wasn't snow-covered or very busy. We had left after the morning rush hour commute. By the time we reached Nashua, there was hardly any snow remaining on the ground.
Now that Mother Nature has (hopefully) had the last prank in New England, we hope she'll surprise us again and, this time, with some spring-like weather — soon, please.
Thanks for the well wishes for the Easter holiday & we hope you had a good day.
Today is my "baby" brother's birthday. This was on a much earlier celebration (I'm on the right).
Happy Birthday !

We awoke to snow this morning, which isn't all bad since it covers the drab. But it's mostly bad. :)
wow on all that snow. i enjoyed seeing your family enjoy each other and the Easter holiday.. the more the merrier when coloring and hiding eggs...
Looks like a wonderful celebration. We were lucky and din't get any snow on the Island but my daughter and her family had to drive though mainland Scotland with snow falling and causing havoc all the way down.
Terrible to drive in but so pretty to see. I love the picture of your young family.
Great pictures! Looks like you had a wonderful family celebration for Easter. We are getting snow flurries today. I'm ready for spring to arrive and stick around.
Nice photos of the celebration and the snow. Glad you had a safe and enjoyable Easter.
It sounds like you had a good time!
We had snow again overnight, and more this afternoon.
Looks like a great time with family.
And a good time was had by all... lovely.
