It’s Thursday (just in case you needed reminding like we did!), and although it’ll be a little different this year, we’re looking forward to the Easter weekend ahead just the same. We’re popping in to share a few ideas for your agenda this weekend, and despite the heaviness and uncertainty around us, we’re hoping you can enjoy the weekend connecting with loved ones (virtually!), celebrating the little things, and maybe indulging in a jelly bean or two :)
Farmers Market: We’re so grateful for the essential workers keeping food stocked at our local grocery stores and farmers markets, and we’re hoping to pop in to the Glens Falls Farmers Market this weekend - yes, they’re still open! They’ve moved outside to the Sanford Street School parking lot and have put measures into place to ensure social distancing. Some farmers have even added the option for an online pre-order, so that you can get in and out quickly (grab the details on their Facebook page).
Gardening: Well, I’ll tell you one thing, our desire to have a garden has grown about 1000% since all of this started. We were excited to see that Garden Time in Queensbury is open and offering the option to call ahead with your order and they’ll coordinate a no-contact pick up (check out the details here) - can’t wait to pick up some goods to start our veggie garden. In the mean time, I’m studying every page of this beautiful book to grab all of the tips for this summer’s flower garden.
Easter Brunch + Dinner: We’re going to miss getting together with our families for brunch so much this year, but we’re all planning to brunch together virtually on Sunday morning via Zoom (we’ll be making our favorite blueberry crumb cake - find that recipe here!). We’ve also seen some restaurants offering Easter dinner to-go (The Queensbury Hotel and Morgan and Company to name a couple). And by the way, you can check in on your other favorite local businesses here.
