Easter Preview

I decorate for Easter and Christmas, and Halloween. I enjoy Easter better than the others because it is colorful and  whimsical. Sweet bunnies and eggs appeal to me more than ghosts and goblins - although pumpkins are nice.

I wish I had more bunnies like this one. He's looking at the egg hanging from the forsythia branch, isn't he? My forsythia bushes have given me great pleasure this year. I have three, and owing to their various locations, they bloom about a week apart. The last one to bloom this month has outdone itself, and frilly yellow sunshine covers every branch.

The chick is keeping watch on the nest even though the eggs were abandoned by the original owner.

Did you ever see a cuter baby duck?(except a real one?)

A bowl of eggs and carrots, with frogs watching over. I discovered that when I cleaned out the garage in advance of the last garage sale, I tossed out all my Easter grass and colored excelsior. Hence, the bowl of eggs has no support.

I added new ribbons to the wreath, and I may add some eggs  and bird nests to it when it gets closer to Easter. Nothing stays the same for long around here. I'm always trying to improve things - sometimes to my detriment. Mr. kenju says he wishes I would stop trying to improve him. He may not realize it - but I stopped that a long time ago; having noticed it was a very lost cause.
Mr. kenju used to say that he went to work in the morning and came home to a completely re-arranged house. That was true years ago, but no more. I can't move furniture around like I used to. I still remember the time I carried a 100+ pound slab of marble from a bedroom, up 8 steps to my dining room (and I was pregnant.) Now I concentrate on collectibles and small things. Sometimes I move things to a different room and mr. kenju asks me when I bought it. Most of the time it is something we've had for many years.  Men seldom notice anything do they? Well, some things they notice - but I won't mention them here.....LOL.

Speaking of Easter, when I was a child, we always got new clothes for Easter, including hats and gloves (yes, I was born in the Dark Ages) and I always looked forward to the shopping trip that preceded it. What about you? Was that a ritual in your family? Do you still do it?
