On to more fun stuff like these Easter ideas that I found on the net:
A simple yet adorable pear salad (or garnish) and some cute biscuits.
I think they both came from Woman's Day magazine.
My favorite pear bunny is this one.
I love pears in cottage cheese (note the cottage tail--too cute!)
I am not cooking for Easter this year, but I will save these ideas for next year.
I just love the pear with the cottage cheese tail, my favorite combo as a child. Even the kids would eat this one. We are getting tons of rain, take cover from that snow.
Eileen, I read that the bunny salad was from back in my childhood days, but my mother never made them. I had never even heard of them. I must have been a deprived child! haha
Betty, I do have to drive...HATE to drive in snow! I am sure it will melt fast.
That last little salad is one that my Mom used to make for me back in the 40's.I think it is in the Betty Crocker Children's Cookbook too. I did all those things for my kids when they were small...sometimes to get fussy eaters to eat. Balisha
Zoey, I know we're hardy Northerners and all that, but this is getting downright ridiculous, isn't it? We've got way over 8" on the ground already. Oh, well, I'll still gladly take snow over tornadoes (but we had lots of thunder and lightning, too!) Such a year. Love the salad ideas for Easter.
Oh my goodness-come on springtime in Michigan! It's close to 70 here and I have a short sleeved top and tank on as I want to go for a walk as soon as my laundry is done. I saw a butterfly today too. : ) Cute foodie ideas. I guess I am cooking, but I don't have any of the food yet, but the market is a mile down the road.
When I got up this morning I looked outside and wanted to get back into bed! lol It was snowing and blowing all morning, everything is white again but hopefully it will melt in a hurry since we're supposed to have sunshine tomorrow. I was supposed to bring my mom shopping today but there was no way I was going out in that.
Such adorable ideas for Easter...I never thought of it before but a pear does have the shape of a bunny's body:-) I'm not having any company for Easter except for my mom so it will be pretty quiet. Going to cook a ham and scalloped potatoes. xoxo
I appreciate you taking the time and effort to leave a comment. I will try to answer any questions you have. Please note due to Blogger changing word verification so almost nobody can read it, I have had to change to no word verification and only allow registered users to comment.
I am so glad you stopped by to visit my garden. I garden in lower northern Michigan (zone 5) in far less than ideal conditions. I have too many pine trees, too much shade, too many rocks, herds of hosta-munching deer and rabbits who think my lilly buds are gourmet appetizers. I am by no means an expert in horticulture or garden design--just an amateur with a shovel and a passion. My garden changes daily during the summer and I will be updating frequently.
During the winter months, I blog about my favorite cold-weather hobby--quilting and just my everyday musings.
I hope you enjoy your visit, and that you will come back soon.

Such cute ideas for Easter. I would just disregard the weather prediction..unless you have to drive in that snow..then be careful!
ReplyDeleteHi Darla,
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts exactly! :)
Eileen, I read that the bunny salad was from back in my childhood days, but my mother never made them. I had never even heard of them. I must have been a deprived child! haha
Betty, I do have to drive...HATE to drive in snow! I am sure it will melt fast.
Zoey, I'm so sorry about your nasty weather. I haven't been out for a couple weeks except to take pics. I can't wait to get my hands dirty! Jean
ReplyDeleteThat last little salad is one that my Mom used to make for me back in the 40's.I think it is in the Betty Crocker Children's Cookbook too.

Snow!! Heavy snow, Holy Crap!
ReplyDeleteOf course then I am the one that cut grass with my winter coat and gloves on this morning.
Stay safe!
