ReplyDeleteSomehow I like the number, in principle, but it's scary thinking how long I have been putting out a daily blog. Why, I ask. Seriously. ;-)
Hope your day is as sunny as ours here today!
Yes, the snow will melt, sure. We are already above freezing. Barely.
Cheers,
Merisi

DeleteWhy? Because we'd be poorer without it. Long may you continue!
ReplyDeleteExquisite eggs - the hand-painting is not widely done here; some day I'd love to do an Austrian or German Easter!
Just keep posting, you enrich our lives. Delightful Easter eggs. I will have to gird my loins and get creative as always but that happily will wait till Saturday.

What lovely--and unique--eggs!
ReplyDeleteJoyous Eostre! Eggs are, as you know, historically part of a pagan celebration, a representation of the fertility of springtime - only later adopted by Christianity as the church tried to melt pagan holidays into their own and dissolve them. Happily, it didn't work. 8-)
ReplyDeleteAmazing, thank you. Enjoy your Easter.
ReplyDeletePlease, never stop posting photos of Viennese coffee houses! They are inspiration for my own coffee and treats served from my kitchen. Beautiful photo of eggs for sale at the outdoor market... Enjoy the Easter weekend, Merisi!
