Easter Sunday, Secret Garden, final daffodils

 Happy Easter. I put out the Easter decorations, various views here.  The eggs I used to paint each year as gifts, the Boehm bunny, various cats and Limoges eggs, and, in the miniature Wedgwood teacup, painted eggs from my long departed cockatiel, Emily.





And the last group of daffodils came out yesterday



One was broken by the wind, so I picked her, along with a few others which would have been trampled by the fencing work probably starting here tomorrow. A bit of henbit and pachysandra added in.


Gary and Jackie finally got away at four o' clock yesterday afternoon, after many false starts and goodbyes.


Yesterday I made the butternut squash, sweet potato and cashew soup, and threw out the squash seeds for Butternut Boy. As I was enjoying the soup, he was busy on his seeds.



So we were a team.


Current audiobook is a really lovely reading of  The Secret Garden, a book I haven't read in many years.  It's dated now but still charming to knit and doze off to.

  1. Sue had A Secret Garden on tape back in the old days. It was really well done.

  4. Decades ago I collected eggs. I got rid of most of them when we moved out here, keeping only the nicest ones. They are currently displayed year round scattered around the house. Once people realised I was collecting them I got so many, ones that I wouldn't have added myself. I finally had to put a stop to it.

    Happy Spring!

  10. Very pretty eggs! I'm obviously late in commenting again so it's a tad tardy to wish you a Happy Easter isn't it.

  11. Well this weekend is Orthodox Easter, so you're timely anyway.
