My Day by Eleanor Roosevelt  Text Size: Small Text Normal Text
Large Text Larger Text  NEW YORK, Monday—It was a surprise to
wake up yesterday morning to find snow on the ground and on
every single branch, making the world look like a bleak, winter
etching.  I walked in the woods with the dogs and snow blew down
on me and it did seem a strange beginning for Easter Day. But
the dogs had a wonderful walk and then the four children had a
very successful Easter egg hunt right after breakfast before we
went to church.  The flowers in our little church looked
beautiful, as they always do on Easter Day. I suppose it is
because it is the first time one sees a great mass of them
together and it makes one feel that summer is near at hand.
Straight from church I started for New York City, a little
afraid I would be late for my television program. But we made
good time and since there was no crowd coming down, I had an
hour and a half after I reached New York City, which was plenty
of time to do everything unhurriedly.
