Easter/Spring at Nelson Crest

Welcome!!!

Easter is almost here and it seems like it just came so quickly this year even though I know that it is 2 weeks earlier than last year.......

But first, I want to Thank Bev, over at Eclectic Red Barn, for featuring my post, Living Room Easter Tree, from last week's Over The Moon Linky Party!!!

Thanks so much, Bev!!

And I also want to Thank Marilyn, over at Marilyn's Treats, for featuring my post, Easter Buffet in the Dining Room, from last week's Thursday Favorite Things Linky Party!!

Thanks so much, Marilyn!!

Please stop by and link up to these wonderful parties!!

BOY!!!

Did I bust my butt trying to get the house decorated for Easter this year ..........

It seemed like I just could not catch up.......

But I did get it all done.......

I even was able to decorate my other house, Nelson Crest, my Victorian Doll House.....

Spring has definitely sprung at Nelson Crest!!!

And flowers are blooming!!!!

I am going to call these flowering bushes azaleas.......

I bought them awhile ago in Michael's in the Fairy Garden section on Clearance.......

They have little spikes on the bottom so I poked them into styrofoam blocks.......

I do plan on painting them green to blend in with the grass but I did not have the time to do so yet......

The front of Nelson Crest is all decked out for Easter with Bunnies frolicking.....

Up on the second floor balcony......

The Easter Egg Tree was also bought at Michael's.......

You can see Mrs. Nelson through the door in the master bedroom.....

A cherub and Bunnies sit on the railing......

Down below in the front yard......

On the left side.....

Flowering shrubs......

More Bunnies.....

The front porch......

Pink Egg Lanterns flank each side of the steps.....

An Easter basket filled with eggs waits to be taken in and enjoyed by the family.....

More Bunnies on the steps.....

Flower pots filled with flowers on each side of the stone walkway.....

Over on the right side......

More Bunnies......

Flowering bushes in the side yard....

A flag pole.....

There is also a pond on this side of the house.....

Nelson Crest is going to need a bit of an updating in the future......

Nelson Crest will be 10 years old this year and the paint is fading a bit......

However, I may have to wait until I retire before I get to update her......

This is my last post before Easter......

I will be working both Saturday and Sunday nights as Easter is NOT considered a Holiday for us and Hospitals do not close because it is a Holiday!!!

I will still be hosting Easter dinner for our family of 5......

Serving turkey, ham, kielbasi, stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, corn and mushrooms......

I will make most of it on Saturday, throw the turkey in the oven when I get home from work Sunday morning, Joe will continue to baste the turkey while it cooks and than will take it out of the oven and slice it, I will get up and do the veggies, heat everything else up and have dinner for 3pm!!

We have this down to a science!!!!

Then I will go back to sleep at 6pm and get up and go to work for 11pm Sunday night!!

The story of my life for over 36 years!!!

Can't wait until I can retire....

Hopefully I will live that long.......another year and a half......

Happy Easter to you and yours!!!

I hope you get to spent it with those that you love!!

I also hope you will be back to visit again soon.......

And thanks to those who took the time out of their busy day to spend a little bit of time with me!!
