For the last four Easter Good Fridays we make our way over to our neighbours' Easter Egg decorating potluck making it feel to me these days like the true hallmark of spring officially in the air.
Our neighbours are close enough we walk over safely and happily as a tribe but far enough that it still feels like a bit of a risky adventure. Especially when night begins to enclose in on us as we embark on our journey home after dinner.
Ukrainian Easter egg decorating happens at this get together and for the weeks leading up to Good Friday our whole family's got their egg-shaped thinking caps on commiserating what will adorn our eggs this year.
I felt compelled this year to commemorate the newest addition to our family, our mini dachsund puppy Angel, similarly to how Craig did a baby foot print on his egg the year Kale was born. The eggs are decorated with yolk intact and soon I'll be blowing them empty and hanging them on the Easter tree. Next year.
As a side note the Easter Tree did not happen yet as planed due to life excitement in so many other areas. Namely, the turbo torso number you see wrapping around my creation up there.
To make up for the lack of said tree I let the kids to go ahead and eat a whole, entire chocolate bunny to themselves for the first time in their lives for last night's dessert.
Mind you said bunnies were only about two inches tall. But still, Kale had yet to experience such a caffeine indulgence before (other than when in utero. And during his after latte nursings for his first three years) and was up singing Hot Cross Buns in bed until 3 in the morning.
And the point of the story my little egg is trying to tell. .. this here is the true source of all these magical Easter eggs delivered worldwide to children everywhere.
The muses made me do it.
I asked a fellow pot lucker if she thought that last touch was maybe a little too much. Perhaps even a little weird. She replied that it wasn't like me to be doing something weird.
I think I dected a tinch of Easter sarcasm in her voice.
Happy Easter!
love,
Kathy
