Getting ready for Easter

Beside the religious side and the fairy tale about the Easter bunny hiding eggs for children, our family always comes together for a family brunch on Easter Monday, a church holiday in Germany.

It started in my parents' home, but once we 3 daughters had our own homes with gardens, we started to take turns where to meet. This year it's our turn. That's why I'll be busy getting our house and garden ready for Easter.

When our daughters were small, they loved to color empty eggs and I got a huge bunch of birch branches to give them a home.

This year the birches are already full of leaves outside, so I'll only hang up the huge nest and hang the last treasures at it's bottom.

As my work mate is still on holiday, I had to work all week (and coming Saturday), so the outside is also still waiting for spring flowers.

Then I have to free the pottery bunnies from the attics, color eggs, do some baking and finally, clean the house.

Hopefully our table will look similar to this:
