Easter :)

Easter is just around the corner....and I love all the traditional holidays..and easter is no exception. I love decorating our home with little chickens and eggs and everything easter themed, And I love it when I bring out "old" easter orniments, and the kids recognize it from the previous years...it creates traditions in our home, which the kids look forward to, and hopefully they can take with them as they have their own family and start their own traditions.

One of the things we always make, is painted eggs. The kids...and me ...love blowing the egg out of it's shell and then painting it with lovely colours and patterns. Snow still covers the earth, but warmer weather brings us out of winter captivity on a march day for a walk in the woods. We round a bend in a swampy area and, lo and behold! pussy willows greet our spring-starved eyes. We prune off a few branches studded with furry pussy willows, to be brought home and honored as spring's earliest harbinger.

A pretty easter decoration, brightens up our window :)

Yellow candles celebrates spring and easter, and fresh flowers is something I love and just have to have in my home.

Warm easter well wishes to one and all :)
