Back Yard Butterfly

This little one was flitting around my radish sprouts.

Thanks for spending the morning with me!

Easter Bunny Buns

I saw the idea for bunny buns on Pinterest this year. I thought I'd give it a go ... even though some other cooks had their finished product look like little burnt bunny devils. So for Easter dinner, I got some frozen bread roll dough and let it rise on a jelly roll pan lined with baking parchment.

Then my daughter Jeanne and I cut some "ears" into the dough and poked out some eyes with toothpicks. We had to play with the ears a bit to make them more rounded than pointy.

Our bunny litter went into the oven for a bit, then came out all nice and golden brown.

Cute!

Tasty, too.

Pinterest's Gone Potatoes!

Yeah. I don't know what that title means, either.

I saw this idea on Pinterest and thought I'd give it a go.

Looks simple enough - especially if you use Potato Buds.

We added butter, bacon bits and parsley, 

then sprinkled cheddar cheese on top.

Popped 'em in the oven for about 15 min or so.

Mmmmmmmmmm. Tasty!

Beaded Bracelet Blast

In sorting through my photo logs, I found these two bracelets that I made in 2011, but never shared. I gave these to friends as gifts.

Under the Rainbow

Driving from Hillsboro to Corvallis Oregon with daughter Jodie on I-5 is a lot more fun when a double rainbow chases you home!

 
Looking for Gold

I caught this end of the brightest rainbow I've ever seen using my phone's camera.

Don't worry ... Jodie was driving.

Bunnies Revolt

I gathered them together, this Easter bunch,

from every corner of our living space.

They all looked at me with their bereft bunny eyes

and begged me not to do away with them.

 
The Bunny Brigade

I sighed deeply,
put cotton in my ears to deaden the whimpering,

then wrapped them gently and tucked them into their box.

See you next Spring!
