Lent is over; winter, too. Spring, color, buds, and shiny eggs and eyes have arrived.
My mother was here for a visit and treated us generously. Her presence always brightens up the place, with her little treats and offers of help and specials meals with family and friends.
I think she likes that we still dye Easter eggs. She’s always ready to help.
Here is the full array of this year’s egg palette, sideways because the photo won’t cooperate (it’s not eggsactly perfect).
A few always stand out as astounding. This year, one of my favorites came from middle child Beth, who somehow created a sunset-looking egg with her talented hand.
Though it didn’t come easily, I did get the kids all in one spot for at least one Easter shot, though the photo was on the hazy side. This came after a beautiful Easter mass and brunch, thanks be to God!
And finally, the girls and I in our Easter colors trying to stay warm. Despite the sun, there was a breeze and a chill Easter Sunday.
