I like Spring.  Spring is my favorite time of year.  Especially if the weather cooperates and is nice outside, so you can think that spring really is here.  I especially like celebrating spring with the Easter holiday, and it’s a little bit harder to get into the Easter mood if it is cold and wet on Easter day. 

I like to decorate the house with Easter eggs. (And I like egg salad sandwiches, and devilled eggs!)   I prefer to decorate paper mache eggs instead of “real eggs” or to blow out eggs and decorate them.  I’ve always hated decorating hard boiled eggs because within such a short period of time you are ruining your artistic creation!  That breaks my heart!  I guess I could never be one of those sculptors that sculpts out of ice, or from sand on the beach.  I want my creative stuff to last a long time!

I wish I had the talent to REALLY decorate eggs very fancy, like the really cool ostrich eggs I see at craft shows!   I’ve found a cool website called eggsamples.org that has pictures of really beautifully decorated eggs.  I’ve put the link in in my “favorites” list so that maybe I can go back there and get some inspiration later to try my hand at doing some of those methods of egg decorating!

I hate to put the decorated eggs away at the end of Easter; I usually leave them out for quite a while.  I just put them away this weekend, but I hated to do it!  Come to think of it, I hate to put Christmas decorations away at the end of the Christmas season, too!

Spring is a time of new beginnings.  New life.  New blogs!

Welcome to my blog!  (And Happy Spring!)
