Easter Time

It's still cold outside, of course, but we can bring a little springtime inside.

At the market they have all kinds of branches with buds but not yet blooms  - forsythia, cherry, hazelnut, apple.  Bring them inside and put them in water in a sunny place and you have blossoms.

We chose some apple branches last week to hang our painted eggs from and now the flowers are out.  How sweet.

Some of the eggs are purchased, many we've done ourselves, some have been gifts.  Lots of folks here hang plastic ones from outside trees, but we've never got into that.

And since it's Easter and Easter means eggs, I couldn't help but think of egg cozies.  Cute, huh??  I'm getting my chickens all in a row!
