Happy Easter! A cold Easter Sunday in Waxahachie, Texas—although not as cold as yesterday! Today it didn’t snow!
Easter Sunday is never very well-attended at the faire, and this year was no exception. There were a few more regulars out—those who had chosen to skip the once-in-a-lifetime experience of attending “Snowborough Faire,” but still the gate count must have been very low. We had a v-e-r-y slow day at Pendragon, but since the day before had been totally nuts, it was almost a nice relief.
We tried not to complain about the cold, because even though we were pretty miserable, we realized how much warmer we were than the day before. I did get to attend the Easter Morning “church” service that the cast performs—a great little display of Tudor history. There were lots of bunny ears visible throughout the day, and lots of Easter goodies were exchanged. The big bunny in my photo is my gift from Wendy—the newest addition to my collection of plush lop-eared bunnies. I’m not really sure how that began—I’m pretty sure it was a thrift store adoption. I just can’t stand to see adorable plush critters in thrift stores looking unloved and unwanted. And there’s just something about bunnies that begs me to “rescue” them. To the left of the bunnies in the photo, you can see part of a wooden, folding Easter basket from my childhood. I can remember this little basket living in my top dresser drawer, in the sixties, when I had to stand on a chair to even be able to peer into that drawer. Now, I get it out almost every Easter and put somewhere where I can enjoy looking at it.
We bowed out of group dinner plans and went straight home from faire and ate some leftovers. I enjoyed a hot (very hot!) shower, and by the time I sat down to work on Daily Krumb entries, I couldn’t even keep my eyes open. So, now I’m finishing up, and it’s Monday afternoon.
One more hectic week, and then things will relax a little bit. Glory be.
