I was in the mood for springtime and colors and exciting
things like planning gardens and weddings, when I spotted my drab little white
eggs in their cartons. Back when we
moved to Vashon Island, I took it upon myself to be a creative housewife type. (Which
meant being a messy housewife, but why split hairs?) And when spring rolled around, I dyed all of
the eggs in my refrigerator, and kept them dyed for months.
Joseph got home after I had dyed my first batch and panicked
because he couldn’t believe I would boil all of our eggs.
“I didn’t boil them,” I said, “I just dyed them. I’m not stupid.”
Joseph got used to the colored shells, and I loved seeing
the confetti-like flakes in our compost pile.
So I dyed my eggs today.
All of them. I made a Rainbow
Ombre Omelet.
And as I was dying those eggs, the mail was shoved into my
mailbox. And guess what I got! Only the Spring 2013 edition of Brides
Magazine! Thanks to my friend and “bridesmaid”
Judy, I will have a year of magazine love.
This is shaping up to be a colorful day!
