the magnolia tree is in full bloom this morning . . this 32 degree morning!
m and c dyed easter eggs yesterday . .
we always get nice purple/blue colors; yellow and reddish brown . . but no green.
they used red cabbage, tumeric, red onion skins and regular onion skins. i think one year we tried spinach for green, but it was very light.
i was on the phone and computer most of yesterday, talking to family about pick up times, and trying to figure out train and bus schedules.
before the girls ran off to see their friend who had been in california, we knitted a little and listened to little women . .
well, morgana and i knitted, chanda worked on her toe shoes . .
In bloom! Ours has not done anything so far. It was really warm on Sunday, too warm for the crocuses and snowdrops. The next day it snowed and we had temperatures in the twenties. All of them died, so sad.
ReplyDeleteAre some of those eggs really grey? I think green is tough to get.
the weather is so erratic!
Deletethe eggs are actually a soft slate blue. green is tough!
