Easter Chick Pics

I’m always delighted when we have chicks hatching around the Easter weekend. Every time I am both astonished and amazed at how they struggle to get out of the egg, appearing wet and exhausted and then quickly fluff up into these at these little balls of wonder…

Forgive the crappy picture; chickens are not the most biddable when it comes to posing for a photo.

Ready for my close-up

The blonde one looks so tired, bless.

Easter decorations

I feel as if I’ve had a few days of running on fumes, so I have abandoned my plans for an intensive bakethon for my usual Good Friday hosting and have instead bought Hot Cross buns, just normal ones; I have gone for Extra Fruity Tesco Finest as I saw them recommended somewhere. I have not gone the mad marmalade or salted caramel flavoured HCB route - check out Onwards and Sideways (my present mantra) for a brilliant post on this lunacy. I will also present bowls of Cadbury’s mini eggs - I will include the new orange ones (in a separate bowl in case it gives someone a nasty surprise) and I will pop a few of these little dears about the table.

I have managed an Easter branch display and special joy this year as I have bought some new additions to decorate it with.

This little daisy egg

Another egg from Gisela Graham but not on her website.

These two below chosen for the simple reason they are GREEN and serve my obsession with this colour.

This one is wooden

This one looks like glass but is plastic and is actually flat though it looks egg shaped here.

I bought three of these little geese… unfortunately the view from my kitchen table is looking up the bottom of one them… I have tried to rearrange but it defeated me.

Glad to say all of these were bought from an actual shop but some items are available from their website here.

A Song for these times

I want to end with this…

A beautiful song that has been in my head ever since the orange man wielding the big fat Sharpie took office in the US…
