Duck Eggs, Anyone?

Lots to catch up on, but we'll wait until after we celebrate Easter. We started today with some good, old-fashioned Easter egg dyeing...

All hen's eggs in Thailand are brown, which is problematic for dyeing purposes, so I went to Lotus, our local superstore, in search of any white eggs...and my choices were duck eggs, or "salted eggs", whatever that is; I went with the duck. Now certain among my girlfriends just might be snickering right now because these are organic duck eggs, but for some reason organic is the only type of duck egg Lotus sells, and it is, as far as I know, the only organic item Lotus sells. So by golly, our colored eggs will be hormone and pesticide free!

They are all concentration...

and Brother finds chewing the carton to be a sufficient way to channel his energy and excitement!

And a bit of live action; Asa's exuberance is so much fun...




Happy Easter! And tomorrow on to the real celebration!

Happy Easter to you all! That video was great. Emmy made a face that is exactly like one you make, Rhi! It made John and me laugh! And I love Asa's excitement over each dyed egg.

We haven't attempted egg dyeing this year, but I hope next year Brennan will be old enough to appreciate it.

Tim is looking very artsy these days with his slim gotee and tipped hair!

Your Easter eggs are lovely, and of course they're hormone and pesticide free. We expect nothing less of you :-)

Have a wonderful Easter and we can't wait to see you later this year!

Fabulous post, as always! Asa's screeches of glee have made my evening.
