Happy Easter

I hope this holiday is being a lovely one for all of you -

Trimmed a huge bowlful of flowers for the church service - we have a wire cross that we fill with flowers and then turn on the white christmas lights inside it. It's gorgeous! The daffodils are starting to droop, but I still had lots of narcissus, grape hyacinth, bluebells and others - snow in summer, cherry blossoms and even blooms off of the huge rosemary.

After church, we had it stop raining long enough to run outside and hide scads of plastic eggs all over the yard. The kids had a good time finding them and then haggling with one another over what they'd found. Dyed a bunch of coffee filters with easter-egg dyes and hung them around the kitchen until they were dry so we can put them in the windows. They're so pretty, like stained-glass flowers.

Now we're blowing up marshmallow bunnies in the microwave - if you face two of them towards each other and "arm" them with a toothpick, you can make them joust, seeing who blows up enough to stab the other one first. I love Easter.

And Congratulations to Rosie and Icarus upon the birth of their new baby boy, Peter Eomer!
