It\’s already Day 21 of Love to Ride; and Happy Easter, everyone!

We used to dye Easter eggs every year when we kids were young. My mother would always tell us about the egg dyes that they had when she was a girl. They made beautiful colors, but were toxic. Can you imagine that? If any dye got through to the egg, that part had to be cut off and discarded.  Of course that was a LONG time ago.

The egg-dye kits we had were very basic. I was always amazed when I looked at pictures of pysanka. I sill find them marvelous. They put egg-dye kits very much to shame. The people who make pysanka are artists.

And Faberge eggs! They\’re astonishing. I\’d hardly dare have any around, even supposing I could afford them. I\’d be afraid of losing them, or managing to smash them, or even becoming a target for theft. I\’m quite content to let the originals stay in museums, and to leave replica Faberges to people for whom money is no object.

Did you put out cookies for Santa at Christmas? Yes, we did that, but when Easter came, we\’d put out some carrots for the Easter Bunny!

And now for a good, long ride! I have to burn off those jelly beans and chocolate eggs, you know. Besides, it\’s already Day 21 of the Challenge. I\’ve got to get in some miles for my team!
