As Vernal Equinox, and to some Easter. I remember growing up in South Dakota, Easter was usually 32 degrees with a crust of snow. So my Mom hid the eggs in the house. Being the mother she was, she would put all the candy in a huge bowl put it in a easy to spot local. A cupboard, the clothes dryer, on top of the fridge. lol This was the greatest holiday next to Halloween for gorging on candy! ;D When I came to Texas, WOW, we could actually hide eggs outside!!! Now as I hide the eggs from the grandbabies it has a whole different meaning. Return of life from doramncy, fertility, and hope. Yes, hope that eventually we will arise from the dust we crawl in to a higher plain of existence. Happy Ostara to all, and to all a good-bye. >^~.~^<
