Spring…

In the spirit of spring renewal and rebirth I decided to dust off this neglected blog and what better place to start than with a day of  egg dying with Mr J and Miss E.

The eggs were boiled…

The dyes were mixed…

The aprons were on…

and we were ready…

Each used a different technique…

Mr J took his time experimenting with mixing different colors…

and Miss E used each bright color separately and quickly…
IMG_5894-001
both methods worked well…

I tried to take pictures of each egg separately…

using both iphone and dslr cameras…

The eggs weren’t the only things dyed…

I think the hands were my favorite.

Some Egg Action…

I haven’t bothered with an egg tree every year but this year my Harry Lauder’s Walking Stick  died and its branches make the perfect egg tree…

I haven’t dyed eggs every year either but this year I needed an activity to do with my grandchildren during an overnight…

And finally…I rarely had an egg hunt here when my children were young because my parents always held one at their house.  Now I am the grandparent and the egg hunt was here…

Not Just Rain Happening…

Suddenly it has been three weeks since the Rainstorm and it looks like I have been washed away…Not so!…I have still been taking photos…just not as many as I have in the past…I’m not sure why I haven’t  been as motivated…the weather has been stunning, I have a wonderful new camera, my computer is working faster than it has in a long time..I just haven’t had that creative urge …I do want to share some spring photos here though…

One morning was spent dying hard boiled eggs…Mr J and Miss E look so serious in these pictures!

I had forgotten how fast two children can dye a dozen eggs…and what serious business it can be…
