the grass is dotted with splashes of yellow! dandelions are everywhere, as yesterday's photo friday attests. either the grass is high or the stems of the dandelions are short because the blossoms are very close to the ground. often they are nestled in the grass. when i see them i think pats of butter! that causes me to giggle!
wee squirrels are romping about. woodpeckers are hopping along tree trunks. birds, mostly cardinals, are flocking to the bird feeders. watching the gold finches reminds me that it's time to cook sugar water to fill the hummingbird feeders. they will soon return.
the easter eggs begun on whimsical wednesday were completed on friday. the eggs rested in the food color solution for two days and when they were removed beautiful blue eggs. the factor that thrilled the most, since i was working with natural substances, was the variations of how the different eggs accepted the food coloring dye. after the eggs dried i was tempted to leave them as they were because they were already beautiful. however, i wanted to play so, using gold and silver metallic permanent markers, i made minimal geometric patterns on the eggs. the designs were influenced by the dye patterns of each individual egg. the results were pleasing. my girls and grandchildren, having viewed the photos i sent them, approved. well done easter eggs!
