saturday morning i went to the green market for some produce and also helped kendall with aurélien and her bags. before going home i walked to west 11th street to take a photo of the callery pear tree in bloom, and then passed by mah ze dahr for almond cookies and a savory lamb-filled turnover. greg, chanda and i then took our covid tests before packing the car for our trip to connecticut (chanda first worked until early afternoon). we stopped on the way in middletown at mazzicato's for challah bread decorated with easter eggs and for marzipan and some other treats for the three of us to have in the car (!) jason and adam were already at the house and we went for a walk together before having cod fish with mustard sauce and playing "bowl."
we were waiting for kendall to put away the greens upstairs in the apartment, and to get her easter goodies to take to her mom's house, and then they sped away in their trusty blue vw for their family festivities.
i actually am unsure if this callery pear tree is on west 9th, 10th, 11th or 12th . .
(more fun times with the durrell family!)
this is the very first year that i've put out our pysanky eggs . . when xena, madeline and hermione were about i never took the chance . .

easter sunday we were up early for a sunrise service at the lake . . and then home to hunt for easter eggs and gifts.
