Happy Easter, Frohe Ostern from Frankfurt

The lead up to Easter here in our part of the world was gorgeous, 
the spring cherry blossoms, tulips and daffodils emerging.
The forest exploding with green, the air filled with birdsong.
The Easter Egg trees!

I love this tradition, new to me, all the neighbours had them...

So we put together our own Oster Ei Baum and were very happy to 
join in the festivities!

Until a kind neighbour hinted that that was more of a Christmas Tree, 
people may laugh,
would be better if the eggs hung down!

So we swapped our eggs over to a more appropriate tree
in our garden!

We didn't stop there, we grabbed some branches from the forest and
decorated an 'inside' Oster Ei Baum too

We had seen on Facebook, instructions on making Easter Egg decorations with a small egg, a bit of wool, 
glue and a water balloon.

Our Easter was topped off with the Easter Bunny delivering us all
a Red Tulip Humpty Dumpty. Easter would not be Easter without one of these Aussie delights.
Thanks Easter Bunny!

Wherever you are in the world, whatever your beliefs,
I wish you all a very happy, safe Easter,
full of love and laughter.
