Happy Easter! In Greensboro, spring has arrived in all of its glory, just in time to help celebrate the rebirth, renewal, and resurrection that Easter and spring represent. If you celebrate Easter and were in Church, you may have noticed that the liturgical colors have changed from purple to white. On parishioners, you will have seen Easter outfits as colorful as the hyacinth featured above.
While many stores will be closed, a lot of restaurants will be serving Easter brunch.* For some Christians, Easter marks the end of a fasting period, often the end of abstinence from dairy and meat products. Greensboro restaurants have prepared some fine food to help you celebrate. The red velvet waffles at Four Flocks and Larder look especially tasty! Whether you eat at home or in a restaurant, have been fasting or not, Easter is a nice transition from the dark and dreary days of winter to the bright, colorful days of spring. Bulbs, like daffodils and hyacinth are associated with the new season and remind us that, in Greensboro, before we know it, the dogwoods and azalea will bloom in all of their glory. Happy Sunday!

What a fine post! Your commentary was excellent and although my celebration is now limited to the more "nature-all" aspects of the season, you did highlight the various reasons for joy very well.
We don't have a huge change of seasons here, but just enough. When we lived in south Florida there was almost no change at all so it's nice to see the dogwoods bloom along with all the other spring flowers. Here in the Trilogy community they work hard at setting out fresh flowers for each season of the year.
From what I read, I'm guessing it would be appropriate to wish you a very Blessed Easter! Just watch those red velvet waffles. Really? Red velvet waffles? :)
