No similar tradition that I know of up here (but I haven't looked very hard). When I grew up we always decorated hens eggs and displayed them in a nest of hay. The eggs were boiled in an onion skin infusion, garden herbs attached to the eggs with pieces of old tights, leaving a beautiful imprint after boiling. I remember the puzzled looks on the faces of my new British family when I brought such a nest as a present before I moved here. Enjoy the last day of Easter! xxChristinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11883091348839145603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6654141479722625610.post-1884581493249818232014-04-21T01:04:13.183-07:002014-04-21T01:04:13.183-07:00This is such a lovely tradition, so full of meanin...This is such a lovely tradition, so full of meaning and so connected to your local area.

We have an old Star boat (made in Britain!) that needs a little attention, but they are wonderful (they still pop up on Ebay regularly) and they're guaranteed not to sink! I hope you guys all have a really good Easter.

I'm not from here and the culture is so different from where I come from that it hasn't been easy to assimilate, I guess. But some of them are wonderful and I do love them, especially the displaying of luminaria at Christmas. I hope you all have a very happy Easter.Jennifer Hayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04685253944514672324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6654141479722625610.post-82139692057633142432014-04-19T07:18:57.229-07:002014-04-19T07:18:57.229-07:00What a nice tradition!

Our small community is very new - it has only been here for five years - but they have already established an Easter tradition where all the parents meet in the wooded area known as Tall Timbers and hide eggs. Later that morning the kids go on an egg hunt. I can't way until Lucy is old enough to join in! Happy Easter to you and your family, Leanne.kristieinbchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08620113214111945592noreply@blogger.com
