I wonder where I put those eggs?
I hid them much too well,
If only I had longer legs,
But then, what if I fell?

I thought I hid them over here,
Beneath that prickly vine,
But then I changed my mind for fear,
Of hurting friends of mine.

Oh there they are, already found,
And laid into a dish,
All types of eggs there do abound,
As fine as you could wish.

Some homemade eggs, some done by pros,
An alabaster prize,
And not to be outdone by those,
The quail egg’s tiny size.

I might just have to start again
And get some fresh farm eggs,
And even though I wish in vain,
I’d love to have long legs.

I simply can’t improve on these,
The hens’ eggs are so sweet,
Not done with paint, or laid with ease,
This lovely Easter treat.

Last night I saw two rabbits getting ready for Easter…. Getting ready for something anyway. Repopulating the planet, I guess, so they’ll have help painting the eggs next year. Happy Easter, Lynette.

Thank you, Ursula. These rabbits think that when I go outside with Emma in the evening, they don’t have to run away. Maybe they know I have her on a leash. At least I know that if the rabbits are there, it’s unlikely that raccoons are passing through the yard just then. Happy Easter to you too.

Is that an eastern cottontail? The egg art is beautiful – nice idea to use quail eggs for it.

I’m not sure what kind of rabbit it is. We have had an invasion of some mixed species (probably some wild and some domestic). Each winter the owls take care of the overpopulation but it seems they always overlook at least two, and away we go again. The quail egg in the bowl is one I found in my back yard all by itself back in the days when we still had quail in our area. Stray cats and off leash dogs took care of that, unfortunately.

Dear Anneli
Indeed, the egg art is great. My sister and I painted eggs when we were kids and loved it. There was a competition of who had the most beautifully painted eggs.

They didn’t keep them. I did. They gave them to me back then, in about 1991 and I’ve been putting them out in my special Easter bowl every year since then. They’re quite faded now, and I accidentally cracked one, but I kept it. They’re real treasures to me.

Thanks, Jet. You’re right about the bowl of eggs sitting on a little quilt job I did. I wish I had thought to show more of the bowl. It had holes in it (part of the design) almost like a colander. The friend who gave me the bowl jokingly called it a soup bowl. Happy Easter to you and Athena.

Your poem is super cute, Anneli, and your photos, beautiful. It’s just hubby and me this Easter, and my brother-in-law has been in the hospital for two weeks after bypass surgery and then an unexpected stroke. The surgery went well, but the stoke caused complications. So, I’ve been distracted, not feeling like doing anything special for Easter. But we’ll get out tomorrow for a drive on the country roads and maybe have a lunch out. We’ve also been working in the yard and garden now that spring has sprung. Anyway, enjoy your day!

That’s really sad about your brother-in-law, Lauren. We went through similar things in our family in the past and I know the stress and concern it brings. We just have to do the best we can to help and still salvage some of our own time. Your plans for tomorrow sound just great. Hope all goes well for you all.

The ones in the bowl are all painted except for the alabaster one in the center and the little quail egg on the left side. The eggs in the cardboard carton are the natural colour as laid by the hens on my friend’s farm. But yes, Mr. Bunny tried his best.
