Lovely Easter Weekend

(Hubby's Iphone pics - Ochre Sea Star)
Mom is currently over spending two nights with us for Easter.  Instead of cooking a big feast this weekend we decided on BBQ easy meals of fish and chicken.  The weather has been unusually wonderful - sunny and warm.  I dug out my summer clothes and today we went to the ocean and discovered the tide was way out displaying many of these beautiful purple starfish(Ochre Sea Star) waiting for the tide to return to cover them up.  

We also spent some time looking at property - an offer was made and accepted on a condo for her to live in only two blocks from our house!  Now we have to ready her home for market and sell it as soon as possible.  Very exciting times!  I hope everyone has a wonderful Easter weekend, what ever you choose to do.  Cheers!

    Those starfish are beautiful!
    We're enjoying the great weather, as well. Lunch on the deck yesterday, some gardening and lots of time wandering the property to see what spring has brought to us.
    Have a lovely Easter!

      Thanks so much! The lovely weather was all over the pacific northwest apparently - even as far as Oregon. It was so nice to have several sunny days in a row!

      Apparently this type comes in brown and orange too - we saw an orange one but it was too far out to take a picture of.

    Your mother is so blessed to have a daughter to watch over and care for her in the older years. What a blessing! Your Easter sounds very relaxing.

      My Mom is one of my very best friends so we really enjoy hanging out. It will be much better to have her in the neighborhood than 2 hours away.

    Beautiful starfish photo. I've never seen a red one.

    Congrats to your mom on her new condo! I hope her house sells very quickly.

    Happy Easter - sounds like a very nice day. :)

      Happy Easter to you as well - the starfish come in so many funky colors here - maybe due to the cold water!
