Egg-citing

I finally have all my Easter decorations up except for a garland. My St. Joseph's Day altar received short shrift this year due to the early arrival of Easter; everything is already packed back up in its box. In its place, a simple "Spring" wooden placard, a china flowered sheep, a small square basket and a Mary Engelbreit container on end, a chick, an Eastery Victorian-looking resin of an Easter bunny riding a sheep, two lambs, and a Lego Easter bunny, plus three plastic eggs. There is one more decoration, but I will not put it up until Easter Sunday: a simple resin cross. On Easter Sunday I will also replace the spring flag with the Easter flag, which also has a cross on it.

The stuffed Easter animals—Rupert and Leonard, the two rabbits; Chickles the chick, and Baasley and Baabsey (don't look at me, I didn't name them...LOL) the two little sheep—are on the hearth.

I also decorated the Easter tree while I was waiting for something in the wash (and swept the stairs, which are everlastingly in need of sweeping or vacuuming), so the foyer is "together" as well.
