As our Friends at Maple Hill Farm remind us (one of my favorite childhood books), spring means the arrival of eggs of all kinds. Around here our hens are giving us nine a day, and with such a surplus, we were excited to introduce the boys to egg decorating this week. I have such fond memories of dying Easter eggs at the card table in our kitchen growing up...those little wire dippers, the smell of vinegar while the color tablets dissolved in each cup, coming up with new ways to create the coolest egg in the carton.
We were lucky to have our cousins Joel and Elissa out for a visit when we pulled out the egg decorating kit, as they are some of our most creative kin (not to mention wonderful to be with)!
