I usually post this favorite Easter painting, “The Three Marys at the Tomb,” by Bougereau.
When I went in search of them, today, I found that many other artists have paid homage to them, too. I will post these works, below, and add artists and locations, later. I want to get this posted, today.
I do love this story, and share it when anyone dares to say women are not fit to carry the message of the Risen Lord.
Maybe, someday, this wanna be artist can pay homage, too.
I texted my across-the-street neighbor to tell her she had company.
They had come from the woods behind our house, gone down our side yard, and across the street to visit.
After looking to see if anybody was home, they wandered on around the neighbors’ house and into the woods behind.
Since everybody’s having ham or lamb tomorrow, it was safe to take a stroll!
always makes me sad, but today, my flowers gave me joy!
Other flowers were in bloom, but these dogwoods stole the show on this Good Friday.
My grandchildren were baptized last night! It’s a very special Easter for me!
The hubs said work in the basement, so I did. My soap station is down there! 
I poured these in silicone molds I got on Easter clearance at Joann’s! The white is magnolia scented, the yellow is honeysuckle, and the green is a fragrance called, “Energy,” that smells like Mtn. Dew!
Happy Easter Everybody!
I just finished this glass gem necklace and posted it on the page, I Made This by Hand on Facebook. Look there for more details. It’s my first listing!
and it brought along a friend!
I think crocus are the perfect Easter flower! I love how they pop right out of the dead and the brown and the gray! That top photo should make a good image for my glass gems. Not bad for an IPhone 5 camera (I’m so ashamed, I don’t have the 6.)
I’m also curious. Saffron, a very expensive spice, is simply the dried stamens of crocus. Every year, I say I’ll save some and don’t. Maybe this year!
Once upon a time, I don’t know how long ago, I found, and I don’t remember where, some beads that reminded me of Easter eggs and jelly beans. So, I made a bracelet:
I think the beads are dyed agate. They are simply strung on clear stretchy cord, and the knot secured with clear nail polish.
I dug it out, yesterday, and wore it with an aqua top. I wasn’t going anywhere special, just to pick up groceries and a pizza, but it just made me happy to wear it!
