Color Me Purple.
Carving pumpkins and dying eggs.
What will I do when I have no children under foot?
The jack-o-lantern will be easier because I can tell myself it’s for the children knocking on the door…
But eggs?
No crowd comes to enjoy our decorated eggs in a basket but those of us around our dining room table.
So for what is about year 17….
Looks like we are gonna have some kind of party.
I’m very old school when coloring eggs.
Water and vinegar…the fizzing color tablet.
We invited the neighbors over.
And got to work.
And once the eggs were all wearing their new purple and blue cloaks…
I set them on the table.
Maybe I’m getting all sappy because my oldest is graduating? Who knows?
When my children are gone will one of you come over and sit on my stoop while we drop hard-boiled eggs into red Dixie cups?
