Spring is Here

Easter Sunday is a day in the US when children can go egg hunt. It is a game during which decorated eggs, real hard-boiled ones or artificial ones filled with, or made of chocolate candies, of various sizes, are hidden for children to find, both indoors and outdoors. The egg was a symbol of the rebirth of the earth in Pagan celebrations of spring and was adopted by early Christians as a symbol of the rebirth. Today is a rare day that the parking lot of the supermarket Publix is empty because the food store is closed for Easter. The low profile 5-story building is the recently opened Court Yard by Marriott. To the right of it is the much older Marriott hotel. Traffic is very light around town. Lovely! I put a hard boiled egg in the parking lot for the birds. I hope they will find it.
