Easter feathers.

Today is långfredagen – long Friday – or good Friday as it’s known in much of the world. It’s a public holiday here and as with any weekend holiday, many people had a half work day yesterday and will also be off on Monday. We were out at Adam and Marie-Louise’s new house last night and just after we arrived, the Easter witches above came looking for treats. I’ve written before about the Easter witch and feather branches, so I won’t go into it again here.

It’s quiet in town. Not much is open. And it’s snowing buckets. Kind of nice.
