Easter Eggs

I love dying eggs at Easter. There is something so homespun about it. This year it was even more so when we dyed naturally colored eggs in coloring solution I made. This year, however, I colored the eggs myself so I didn’t have to worry about dyed children. They’re bright enough as is.

These beauties are from my neighbor’s flock. The greens are from Americanas.

So easy. 6 oz warm water, 1 T vinegar, food coloring. I liked that I could color multiple eggs at a time.

Here they are! The eggs were very lightly mottled and the color really picked up on it. Now only if the deviled eggs were so colorful!

Blue Belly Lizards

It’s not Spring until the blue bellies come out. And out they have come! We found these guys under some wood we moved to burn. Actually, we found five under the pieces of wood, but the girls felt one lizard per child was adequate.

The long tailed lizard was named Maryanne. I don’t remember the other’s name. The girls put them in a box which Hudson moved to the ground and they became dog food. Poor little guys, Webster obviously needed some reptile in his diet.

Oh right, now you know why they’re called blue belly lizards.
