I haven’t made Easter eggs in years.
You see, before my cat passed away, she viewed each and every egg as her personal toy. Β All of this was discovered during her first Easter with us. Β As usual, a week before Easter, I boiled a dozen eggs, dyed and decorated them to my heart’s content, and then placed them in a basket on the kitchen table. Β A few hours later, as I walked past the table, I notice one egg had rolled out of the basket and onto the floor. Β As it was cracked, I threw it away slightly puzzled as to what exactly happened. Β For the next three days I discovered one little runaway egg that had somehow made it out of the basket and landed somewhere on the floor. Β I was becoming annoyed and began to suspect the furry feline in the house.
Well, day four rolled around and I caught her right in the act. Β Paws deep in the basket struggling to get one rather large lime-green egg out. Β I scooted her away and placed them on a higher location -so naive -like she would be content to just stare at them after four days of fun! Β Well wouldn’t you know it, I caught her atop a shelf on day five digging at an egg with everything she had. Β And that was the last year I made Easter eggs. Β The only thing I couldn’t figure out was why only one a day? Β That cat was more psychological than I thought…..
Anyway!!!! Β As it is Easter, and as it comes early this year, I thought I would share a few of my most favorite and unique Easter egg ideas! Β So let’s get started:
