Easter Wishes and Blessings

Happy Easter to you. I would wish you prosperity, fruitful harvest, long (blessed) life into eternity, hope and passion.

Green Thumb Sunday

Easter SundayMay you enjoy a blessed Easter.

I consider myself very fortunate to be able to teach second grade Sunday School. We will read the various events that lead to Jesus' victory over death... and what that means to each of us. After we read the stories, I wonder if they will be able to tell me the significance of the items I put into a paper bag, such as: a palm branch cutting (from my overwintered palm - wish I could remember its name!) to remind us of last Sunday, grapes and a muffin (we get to eat them), a piece of a miniature rose cane, a soldier mask, a nail, a small cross, a small piece of white cloth, a rock, and a gift bag with an empty egg.

Next week we'll create our versions of pysanky eggs. :-)

These photos were taken this evening without a flash.
This is my Amaryllis bulb that did so well outdoors last Summer.
So well, in fact, that it had a "baby!" :-)
Can you tell there are 4 blossoms on this stalk?
And can you believe that each blossom is over 7" tall?
I could admit to being easily impressed!

A reflective moment
by me

A gradual unveiling,
unfurling,
uncurling.

An
unswerving determination in
slowly releasing,
easing,
pleasing.

Ultimately stating,
completely elating
and sating
a deep-seated
longing.

An
Unlimited desire for
beautiful perfection,
awesome amazement,
and
completion.

Undaunted.
Wholly fulfilling.


:-)
Happy Amaryllis Day.
Happy Easter.
