Happy Easter
This is what happens when you have small children – you dye your kitchen.
Yes, the festival of Easter, goddess of the Spring, is celebrated this time of year with the traditional symbols of fertility, the egg and the rabbit, by the people who settled around the Baltic Sea – the Teutons, Slavs, Finns, Prussians, Letts, et al. It is a festival of plenty after the hardships of winter, with the promise of new growth.
Of course, later groups took the celebration and turned it to other purposes, but I doubt Easter minds.

Happy Easter, Bryan! We’re having a bit of a gray day here in Blue Ridge land, so we’re just going to chill at home today and take a break.
I’m not complaining, spring has sprung here and that’s all that matters right now. I feel a bit like I expect those Baltic people felt. Thank God, the winter is over.
Happy Zombie Jesus Day, y’all!
Having visited the coast of the Baltic I understand why my Great Grandfather left. The winds really howl.
Locally it was hard to tell when sunrise occurred as it was raining until 5PM, but the temperature is in the high 60s, so I won’t complain too much. This is why every religion has some sort of spring festival – winter is over and you can start growing food again.
That’s why you had to leave Louisiana, Badtux 😉
happy easter! (I love those easter eggs btw)
The Easter eggs are from family, the branch of the family that has graphic abilities, which doesn’t include me.
