Happy Easter ~ Welcome Spring

 

Happy Easter, Happy Spring, my friends!

As the full Pink moon rises this evening here at the beach we are blessed by a warmer low wind day.

Spring has its ups and downs, yes mostly grey, rainy, and cold, BUT hopeful. I love adding small touches  for April and May, 

...though my egg collection maybe has blossomed out of control this year,. Enjoy a visit, virtual tea and cake, a choc egg perhaps?

Chickies, bunnies, flowers...

Quilts...

Flowers...

 Bunny linen pillow, made from a Target dollar bin tea towel.

My nature gathering bowl. Nest and its eggs are faux, quail eggs are blown out and dried, from the Flea years ago.

I especially love these Italian chocolate eggs. Their foil wrappings remind me of vintage pinafores and aprons of the feed sack era [1930-50].

Family  Easter celebrations were last week or still to come. 

Menus:

Lasagna and Caesar salad/ cannoli for dessert.

****

roast pork loin with wine gravy/ 

roasted asparagus and tiny new potatoes in garlic lemon butter /

 Bunt cake with drizzled frosting, tinted Easter egg pink or blue?

***** 

Or 

pork loin medallions piccata, with lemon, capers, baby artichoke hearts

 in white wine sauce...

I haven't decide yet, but I made this a few weeks ago to try it out and it was delish!

And of course, always, platters of devilled eggs, a family fave,

Maybe some matzoh ball soup tonight too, if I get busy here and a cold front blows in?

Happy holidays!

love

gone to the beach...

Will the EB bring treaties, mommy? I've been good!

Back in January when I planted my bulbs, I hoped some would bloom for Easter. 

The tete a tete daffs were a Fail, the blue amaryllis has no buds, 

but the recycled Easter tulips from last year 

have peeked out a sweet welcome. 

Success!
