When I grew up in Chicago, Easter meant putting on your fanciest clothes for the celebration of spring. Fancy clothes aren’t required too often up north, especially this past Easter. After our morning Easter activities were complete, the whole family trooped outside to work on spring chores.
Right now, this includes taking care of the baby chicks and fixing up the old chicken coop for them to move into. Will helped muck out the old litter, Steve drove it off with the tractor while Tristan drove behind on his tiny tractor. Lexi, who refused to take off her pretty Easter dress, put on her rubber boots and helped care for the babies. They all did a lot of work for their small sizes – fueled as they were by plenty of candy! It might not be as fancy as the Easter gathering of my youth, but it’s definitely a celebration of spring. – Kate
