I've never heard of the Pink Moon.

I've never heard of the Pink Moon.

A few minutes ago a local TV news anchor also referred to it as a Blood Moon.

I'd love to see the eclipse tonight, but it is cloudy. The cloud cover might be thin enough that I can see it a little.

Thanks for posting that song, Paul. That tree reminds me of the one atop Brokenback.

Easter is April 20th, I've had my placed decorated since before I left for Boston, because I knew I wouldn't want to do it when I got back.

 


You can click on the pics to enlarge them, here are the windows.  As usual, curtains are only like that for the picture.

The lights on the eggs match their color, so one egg is blue and the other is pink.   The lights around the flag are pink.

I was thinking about coloring some Easter eggs, but I haven't been able to find the coloring kit we always used. It's not one where you dip eggs into some container of color. Instead you actually paint them using Q-tips as paint brushes.

This is what we always used:

Of course you usually end up with as much color on your fingers as on the eggs.

I've never seen that before.

I can remember one year we had a kit where you used makers.  There was a little vice type thing that held the egg steady, and you would insert the marker in a arm-like device, which held the marker steady, and you would spin the egg to make designs.

Apparently there are new versions of this out there now.

I think if you look at the list of places where you can buy Hinkle's, it's clearly a regional thing.

I'm beginning to see tulips come into bloom.
