Saturday Snippets -Easter

It's so nice to see signs of spring and warmer weather, they're calling for 64 and sunny on Easter Sunday here in Philly. I took a walk around the yard trying to get pics of the flowers that are blooming right now, it was rainy and over cast yesterday and there's full bright sunshine today!

Crocus

and early daffs.

I inherited these when I bought this house, they bloom in the 3rd or 4th week of March.

I've always been tickled by the idea of growing cat grass inside of eggs for Easter. Plan A was to use real egg shells but it didn't take long for me to change over to using colored plastic eggs instead-that lack of patience thing... It took about 5 days for the grass to sprout and it grew at an amazing rate! It was trimmed on Friday and needs it again. The main lesson I learned is, each seed will produce one blade of grass. So, if this sounds like a fun project to you and you want lush green grass, use lots of seeds:@)

And I'll leave you with a holiday sighting:

I saw the Easter Bunny! He looks rather well fed doesn't he??? 

Tell the kids not to worry, I'm sure he'll be at their house soon...

I did "shooooo" him right on down the bunny trail (and away from my pea plants:@)

Happy Easter Weekend Everyone-

Eat much, stay safe and play nice!
