Happy Easter!

Easter Sunday has always marked the real beginning of Spring for me, maybe because I grew up in New York State, and Easter was the first holiday of the year that was celebrated with spring-like things, like flowers and pastel colored eggs.  My mom always did Easter baskets for us, and we would color eggs every year.  Mom used to poke little holes in the top and bottom of the egg and blow out all the white and the yolk.  Then she would color it, thread a pipe cleaner through the hole at the top, and hang it on a branch that she had brought in from the yard.  Maybe some day I'll do that too.

Happy Easter, everyone!
