Easter Bunnies

Ok, clearly lots of chick cake pops weren't enough for my amazing daughter.  What with today being Easter and all, she HAD to make bunny cake pops to bring to dinner.  I think they're adorable!  

I would be hard pressed to say if I like the chicks or the bunnies better - I've always hated having to choose my favorite.  Although the bunnies look like more work to me.

This culinary feat is even more amazing when you know that she made 140 bunnies ears out of fondant TWICE for these treats, as the first batch, drying in the oven, got destroyed when she forgot they were in there and set the oven to pre-heat for the cake part!  I KNOW I would have scratched the whole business at that point, but not Amanda.

Moss Agate - A Springtime Gemstone

Being an avid gardener, early spring is absolutely, without question my favorite season. 

For centuries, springtime has been associated with fertility. I think that’s how the whole bunny thing came about – ya know, multiplying like rabbits. 

Moss agate is a great healing gemstone for spring.

Spring Chicks!

I know I've said that this blog is all about healing gemstones, but I can't control myself right now, so bear with me.

Yesterday I spent some hours in my car, driving home from visiting friends in WV.  We thoroughly enjoyed the lovely spring weather "down in the holler" listening to hundreds of spring peepers, enjoying the ephemeral spring beauties in her woods, sneaking in some peeks of the riotous courtship dances of the cardinals, and so forth.   So I was quite surprised as I headed north to find that for four hours of my trip the ground was completely white with snow!  I'm glad there was little to nothing on the ground at my house.

Among the many tasks facing me from spending a few days away was catching up on a mound of email.  One from my daughter just made me smile, and I'm sure it will turn up the corners of your mouth, too.

Working more than full time at a high-stress job and caring for a home and a puppy (who has a great blog of his own that she maintains), my firstborn is somewhat of a food artiste.  She sent me pix of her latest creations that are her own celebration of spring. 

Are they the cutest things you ever saw, or what?! Way too cute to eat these chick cake pops!

Besides, smiling is healing, and springtime should make you smile, so in a way, I'm sticking with the healing concept anyway

Enjoy the springtime, whatever the weather where you are!
