Signs of Spring have erupted in the great state of Maine. This weekend, for one, the ice completely disappeared from the lake! To help usher in Spring this year the boys and I took advantage of a 60 degree day to attempt dying Easter eggs. Easter eggs have never been dyed in the Smith house and for a long time I didn't understand why we would dye eggs for Easter. I thought that eggs were more a sign of the fresh new life that is so evident around us as the trees bud and the grass wakes up from its Winter sleep. The new life in an egg, however, helps us to remember that Easter is when we celebrate the new life that we have in Christ. Because of His life; we have life. That is a simply glorious reason to take time to decorate eggs, enjoy Spring, and worship God.
Elijah & Siah succeeded in dying almost a dozen eggs! Caleb & Drew each dyed 2.
What does one do with leftover dye? Why decorate the snow of course!
