Easter in Connecticut

Wishing you and your loved ones a very Happy Easter 🐣🌷

This season is such a beautiful reminder of fresh starts, new beginnings, and brighter days ahead—and I hope your weekend is filled with warmth, joy, and maybe even a little sunshine (and chocolate 🍫).

💡 Did you know?
🐰 Why the bunny?
Rabbits have long been symbols of new life and spring because of how quickly they reproduce—so they became a natural sign of renewal and growth.

🥚 Why the egg?
Eggs represent new beginnings and life, dating back to ancient traditions and later becoming part of Easter celebrations as a symbol of rebirth.

Just a little fun fact to share over brunch this weekend 😊
