love the euphorbia in these flowers from a mother's day ad from terrain

enchanted euphorbia


yay for Spring! we have three varieties of euphorbia right now!
sure, they can sure be smelly- ok stinky- but i love their alien nature!
just two of the three...





still waiting for the other to bloom- a purple leaf variety!

happy easter

i miss celebrating Easter as a kid... our grandmother bought us new dresses {usually from the Sears catalog},
and we had to learn a recitation for the Sunday morning church service- which we didn't like so much.
but the best thing was going downstairs Easter morning to find my great Aunt's Easter baskets. 
they were usually huge gift baskets filled with wonderful goodies~ homemade chocolate peanut butter & coconut eggs, plastic eggs filled with toys... 



...because really, hers are thee best & come the closest to my childhood memories.


my great Aunt's Easter egg tree {circa 1990}


Easter Sunday in our  dresses {circa~ a long time ago!}
somehow we always had similar haircuts.
