oh, easter is this sunday?!!

this was new information to me when the squirrels came home this past sunday chirping all about it excitedly. i was quite certain it was the sweet treats that had them on pins and needles, but i was quickly reassured that what they wanted more than just about anything in the world was to paint and dye hard-boiled eggs. 

better get to it.

we like to use teas, fruits and veggies for the dye, renders the most beautiful colors over brown eggs, and i was thinking about using blown out eggs this year, utilizing the eggs for a quiche or scramble. last year we learned that none of us are terribly fond of the hard boiled variety.

spoonful is having a bunny drawing contest if you like bunnies and drawing you should enter. this drawing is one i did recently as 'thank you' gift to someone i appreciate an awful lot.

this sunday is also the 2nd birthday of our resident bunny, Otto. isn't he a handsome fella?!
