Happy Easter

Happy Easter, one and all.

This is my artistic endeavor for the week, hand-painted goose* eggs:

I did them with gouache for the kids of some of our homeschooling friends.  I am not an expert in emptying eggs, so I didn't do a great job with the holes.  Nevertheless, the kids were delightfully delighted with them, so all is well. :)

Our goose Polly is sitting on three eggs. I did not want to hatch more than that. Indeed, I do not even know if the eggs are fertilized.  Diggory had to go in the freezer yesterday. :(  He was attacking the boys, even pinched Ti'Loup so hard and would not let go, that Ti'Loup, in his panicked and valiant attempt to free himself, literally dragged Diggory over the fence because the gander would not let him go.  Yes, Diggory reached through the fence to get Ti'loup.  One inch lower and Ti'Loup would have been singing higher. :-/

Diggory is one scary gander!

I adore your eggs; I will have to check out Ephesians 4:22–24, as that's the passage on my favorite of the ones you've shown.

(And Happy Easter!)

Right! putting on my new self... worried it's likely to end up resembling my old self, but I'll keep nudging it in a better direction.

It is funny that putting on a self should be compared to a journey, but that is what it is. It is not overnight perfection, in the sense that we think of it, but completion: a process.

It was so sad and frustrating having to harvest him; he was hatched in the incubator and used to follow us around and nap next to us. :(

:( :( :(
That's too bad.... transitioning from napping with you to threatening you, that's just hard.

So pretty! The gouache seem to work really well!

PS. I have one of these egg blower-thingies with a hole-making-thingy and it works like a charm. :p

[wayfaringwordhack]

LOL. Sounds like an interesting thingy :D

I have the eloquence of a true writer! ;)

You took the words right out of my mouth. LOL

Your eggs are beautiful.

Sorry to hear about the gander. That's scary!

[wayfaringwordhack]

Thank you.

And yeah, for the boys, he was scary. With me, I just never turned my back on him, and a raised foot (like a shield, not to kick him) was enough of a deterrent to keep him from attacking me...for the moment anyhow.

Those eggs are really beautiful.

I hope Ti'Loup is not too sore.
