Who knew all this would happen afterwards! I used to write several blogs, but thought just concentrating on one would be easier for me and my readers. Sorry, it ends up having several topics in each post!

Happy Easter


In honor of the Ukranian artists who developed Pysanky Eggs.   This artist is from Nova Scotia Canada.


More Pysansky Eggs by So Jo Leo of Canada.

Today's quote:

People share a common nature but are trained in gender roles. 

-Lillie Devereux Blake, novelist, essayist, and reformer (12 Aug 1833-1913)



 CNN's 5 Things Newsletter said:  April 17 is Easter Sunday, the day Christians celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ on the third day after his crucifixion. It also marks the end of the 40-day period of penance called Lent. Easter is considered to be the most important season of the Christian year.

  7. Barbara, Love those Pysanky Eggs! They are beautiful for sure. No way I've ever had the patience to paint something this intricate...and now the hand/eye coordination would be a problem too. Love Nova Scotia and have been there 3 times! Take Care, Big Daddy Dave

    1. I've never been to Nova Scotia, but am very interested in it. I don't have steady hands, even if I had a magnifying glass to enlarge it enough to work on details like that!

  8. I used to do Pysanki with my students. We'd have a craft table, and they would rotate through other centers when work was done!
