Preparations
Some of us dyed some eggs...
A duck egg and a goose egg.

The goose eggs have to live in a basket because there is no carton big enough for them.
For comparison, a plain old chicken egg on the left, then a duck egg, followed by a goose egg. People here have really become rather fond of hard boiled goose eggs and are looking forward to eating these. We didn't dye any chicken eggs this year because I would rather sell them.
Other than that, I worked on some pie and pie crusts (we'll have a chocolate cream, a lemon custard, and a cherry). I even remember to take the meat out of the freezer for tomorrow. Our order was finally pulled (fifty hours later) and ready at Farm and Fleet, so J. drove to pick up a month's worth of animal feed, shavings, supplies... and toilet paper (we weren't out, but starting to run low).
This is going to be a low key Easter as far as things such as Easter baskets go. People are okay with that, and that has never been a huge part of the holiday for us anyway. It will be odd, not actually attending church to celebrate Jesus' resurrection or going to family for dinner. But at least we do have the possibility to do these things virtually. We'll still worship together and later we will still be able to visit with family over the internet. These things are not something to be taken for granted.
If you are looking for somewhere to virtually celebrate Easter, here are the links to the services for both of our churches.
