I got out my Easter decorations today. I always look at each one and remember all the memories that surround them
like these little peek-inside confectionery eggs that the kids just loved.
This one was blue but you can see how it's faded over the years.
I have my favorite candy dish to hold my favorite Hershey's candy-coated chocolate eggs. I have my favorite ski bunny
that is from the time I use to ski before I injured my knees. He has his permanent place on top my favorite Easter basket
that looks like a real bird's nest. (Those eggs are fake but again, more of my favorites. I display them all year in a cute little basket but at Easter, they get the honorary place in my favorite Easter basket.) I also have favorite egg holders
that get a spot at each place setting for Easter dinner.
You can see they are not perfect, a little quirky which makes them unique and that's why they're my favorite. I also keep my favorite Easter necklace in a permanent place in a clay bird's nest made by Lauren with little clay eggs
I don't wear it anymore but it is really cute and it has little bells on it. Along with Lauren's clay nest, on Easter I always get out her little bunny family that lives in a carrot.
I still display my favorite Easter card I got from my sister, Carol, in 1984.
On the back it reads:
Bunny has been busy
Since in the early fall
Planting, raking, weeding
With no time off at all
Now Easter's come
the flowers bloom
In colors bright and gay
And I send them on to wish you
A Happy Easter Day
Let's not forget the Peeps.
which I made tonight. I've got my Easter lily
who's sweetness is flooding our house with springtime fragrance. Smells so good. I also have some springtime flowers for Easter (which I bought at the store since we only have a few daffodils in yard right now.)
I'm still experimenting with a table center piece and trying to use our chicken eggs...natural-style Easter eggs.
And then, not to forget, the NCAA basketball tournament is going on this Easter
(last year it was The Masters) Each season is marked by a sporting event going on. And Bruce gets to lick the bowl of the bird's nests!
A perfect spring evening.
