Me: I know. I can't seem to make myself stop.
And so it has been for the past few weeks. I've been decorating, moving my decorations around, and buying more decorations that I know I don't need. Maybe it's a hope that if I decorate for spring inside, the more wintry weather outside will change to match it. Whatever the reason, I have enjoyed all the pastel goodies and invite you to take a look at Easter at our house...

| I love this guy...especially his big old teeth! |
 |
| 40 eggs for the Easter Bunny to hide... |
 |
| Always a school theme at our house... |
 |
| These sweet little egg vases were filled with flowers and were gifts from my mom to my grandmother and great-grandmother many years ago. I'll fill them with flowers for the Easter table. |
 |
| Lots of rabbits... |
 |
| And a duck thrown in for good measure... |
 |
| Tasha's Easter book... |
 |
| Tulips...my favorite. |
 |
| My new door decoration...love the seed bag container. |
 |
| Annie and me back in the day in her fabulous Easter finery...what a doll! |
The other neat thing going on around here has been Bill's bluebird boxes. He's made and placed these beauties all around our property with the hope of attracting the bluebirds...and not the sparrows! We all enjoy looking at them when we walk in the meadow. Here's a poem by Emily Huntington Miller, The Bluebird's Song, from Poems Teachers Ask For.
The Bluebird's Song
I know the song that the bluebird is
singing,
Out in the apple tree where he is
swinging.
Brave little fellow! the skies may be
dreary-
Nothing cares he while his heart is so
cheery.
Hark! how the music leaps out from
his throat!
Hark! was there ever so merry a note?
Listen a while, and you'll hear what
he's saying,
Up in the apple tree swinging and
swaying.
"Dear little blossoms down under the
snow,
You must be weary of winter, I know.
Listen, I'll sing you a message of cheer!
Summer is coming! and springtime is here!"
"Little white snowdrop! I pray you
arise;
Bright yellow crocus! please open your
eyes;
Sweet little violets, hid from the cold,
Put on your mantles of purple and
gold;
Daffodils! Daffodils! say, do you
hear?-
Summer is coming, and springtime is
here!"
Have a blessed Easter...
All the best,
Kelly
