Spring Has Sprung
4 Apr
A few buds are out on the lilac trees, which worries us a little since we have a few more snowstorms to get through before warm weather is here to stay, but never you mind, I’m going to enjoy the sun that’s shining today. Doug is making me a big breakfast (my favorite meal of the day) and the cats are romping around in the yard. We’re all feeling frisky.
My mom sent me some Easter photos, and I have to pass on our secret family recipe (shh … it’s a secret) for how to tie dye your Easter eggs. Simply add a tablespoon of vegetable oil to each of your dye pots, dip in the egg, wipe it off, and then dip in the next pot. It makes an amazing looking kaleidoscope of colors on your egg, and you look like an artistic genius. This is the only craft I’ve completed where I look like an artistic genius, so I do enjoy it. Hope you do too!
I love your blog.
These are so gorgeous. FYI: I live in the only region in SoCal where you can grow lilacs. I have a rather puny push right next to the organ cactus.
