If you have been reading my blog, The Old Farmer's Daughter
you know the Old Farmer was a big kid at heart!
Every year the night before Easter the whole family
gathered around the big round table in the kitchen
and we colored the hard boiled eggs in colored dyes.

Overnight the magic happened courtesy of
The Old Farmer hiding the eggs and a basket for each child.
Usually it was still winter in our neck of the woods so
the big hunt was held in the large dining room.
There was a basket in the corner of the bay window.
A blue egg in the middle of the snake plant!
One under the radiator!
One egg was missing...the Old Farmer hinted,
warmer, warmer, oops cooler, warmer, warmer, HOT !
Where was it? Aha! Climbing on a chair it was found
overhead in a flower wall pocket!
Then off to church in our new Easter clothes and hats.
Back home to a breakfast of hard boiled eggs and coffee cake.
Dinner of ham and deviled eggs.
And chocolate bunnies for desert.
HAPPY EASTER from THE OLD FARMER"S DAUGHTER!
