Saturday and Other Fun Stuff

  

Saturday our local Farmer’s Market opened.  No vegetables of course, too early even for us but lots of other things . . .

 

Crafty types.

Canned goods and baked goods.

The boy scouts

were selling very pretty eggs

There were cut flowers

and flowers to plant.

There were chickies

and cascarones.

In case you don’t know - Cascarones are a cross between an Easter egg and a party favor. They are brightly colored eggshells, either hand-painted or dyed, filled with confetti.  You crack them over the heads of friends and family for luck.  I used to make dozens of them every Easter from the time my children were able to hunt for eggs until even now (though I don’t make more than one or two these days). 

These are ones made in past years.

The rest of my weekend was filled with all sorts of fun stuff – like vacuuming and dusting and laundry, oh boy.  Plus I rearranged all the furniture and plants on the back porch.  I’m trying to find the best sun for those that would like the morning but not the afternoon sun.  And I finally managed to get my old stained-glass window hung up. 

Not exactly what I wanted but better than sitting in my closet.

Tis an exciting life I lead here in Wharton.
