Happy Easter

Flowers

Always make me happy. 

Especially those flowers which bloom early in the Spring.

Daffodils are so loyal.

Once planted they come back every year.

So many varieties.

Pheasant Eye Narcissus are still my favorites.  

We are fortunate in that we can be with our family and friends.
With a little help from technology we can make it happen. 

What makes you happy?

Happy Easter.

You can be an artist too.

No painting experience necessary.

These are goose eggs.  
Chicken and duck eggs work well. 

Ostrich eggs are even better.

 Goose eggs are rolled in a batch of water that has been spiked with 3 different colors of nail polish. 

The secret is to use sparkling nail polish.

I used sparkly red, gold and silver.  

 Line a dish with aluminum foil.  Add about 3" of water.  Spike with a few drops of nail color.
With a stick or needle lightly swirl colors.

Quickly roll egg over surface.  
Let dry on a stick. 

Refresh water mixture when nail polish is almost used up. 

Our Lola is laying eggs right now. 
I will share.  

Try different color combinations. 
Purple, grey and brown look like marble. 

Happy Easter dear friends,

If only

you could taste Karen's chocolates!

My friend Karen makes the finest, yes the very best Chocolates.  
I know.  I am a chocolate Aficionado.  I have tasted the best from every corner of the world.    

Even these chocolate leaves are made with re-tempered Belgian Chocolate. 

Bavarian Mint, Serrano Pepper with Lime Zest, Tagine, 

German Chocolate Truffle, Raspberry Likör, Grapefruit, Almond and Cheesecake are only a few names which belong to these superior and most delicious chocolates. 

Karen tells me that "she looses herself making chocolates and loves doing it".

I know that she will make some for you.  All you have to do is ask.

Wishing you and yours a most wonderful Easter Celebration.

Pondside

We had to do it.

The Firemen came and burned the Cattails and wild underbrush. 

It burned into the night. 

They spared my Daffodils.

The ducks and geese looked on from a safe distance.

The wind shifted just in time.

They have made it through the fire but will have to toughen it out tonight. Eighteen degrees Fahrenheit is predicted for tonight. 

See the heavy underbrush? 

All gone.

By the end of May it will be lush and green again. 


Are you getting ready for Easter?

I have a friend who makes the finest, yes the finest chocolates.  

I have placed my order.  

Have a great remainder of the week.

How do you feel about counting

Counting Rabbits

How many rabbits can you find?

If you are the first to get it right I will send you a little cotton bag filled with my finest selection of Hollyhock seeds. 

Happy Easter dear Friends. 

Hope all is well with you.
