Easter Decorations!

 Here we are, with Easter decor, the last holiday till Halloween that I decorate for. My favorite things this year are the giant golden egg (Target), the pink rabbit that looks like a balloon (Target), and my brilliant idea to put my bunny head eggs in an actual egg carton.  They just never sit up quite right in anything, but the egg carton suits them nicely. 

My Easter menu is set, baskets are ready to go. There’s just cleaning and baking to go, and it’s Happy Easter. Hope you have a lovely holiday and that the snow is gone by then.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

 Welcome to another holiday with small charms, unless you’re in Dublin for the Saint Patrick’s Day Parade, as we were one year. If you’re there, St. Patrick’s Day is the happiest holiday in the world.

Instead, here we are on a cold winter’s day, with snow flakes floating down now and then. Here is my small, charming display for St. Patrick’s. I got the geese at Menards and they’re supposed to be a yard ornament, but the tiny umbrella would go poof after the first hard rain or snow. They’re wearing The Green is how they got a spot in this display.

Just to report, no green beer again for me this year. It always sounds intriguing but I’d have to go out somewhere for a swig, and my barfly days are long gone, though they did exist very briefly. TMI, I know.
