St. Pat's Day was another rainy day. In the morning. I treated myself to hot chocolate and shamrock butter cookies. I also talked on the phone with my sister since this year will be our 28th year of celebrating sister's day. Neither one of us felt up to much fanfare this year. I think it's the fact we've done nothing but stay home and not been able to travel or do anything called normal. This covid could certainly cause many to fall into a deep depression. I know I, for one, am miserably tired of the mundane days that seem to drag on. And the weeks pass all too slowly. Maybe that is a good thing; life isn't passing by quickly as I age with this covid lifestyle. But, boy, the boredom can sure set in.
By mid afternoon, the temps soared and the sun broke free from the overcast sky. It was all too muggy to work any outdoors with the foundation fern extraction, so I decided to take down the St. Pat's decorations and unpack something I haven't brought out in a couple of years...my Easter Egg Cup collection. They've been wrapped snuggly and safe from breakage, stored in a plastic bin, high on a shelf for a few Easters. This year, being that a lot are whimsical in style, I thought they just may lift the spirits. Once unpacked and some chosen that are especially cute, I then, got out the artificial Easter eggs and started putting all things Easter around the house. ...On the table, the dining room hutch, the coffee table, and a few on the fireplace mantle. Eventually, I heard myself humming "In Your Easter Bonnet". Easter this year is on the 4th of April. Just a little over two weeks from today.
I'll begin with showing off my wooden ball bunny I made a few years ago. Both front and rear views. And then, my double basket bunny that holds small salt and pepper shakers:
Some extras brought out. The Gnome, the bunny napkin rings and the pink rabbit nutcracker are new this year:
