Spring

Today, we enjoyed a fabulous Norouz feast with our family and laughed a lot. We also took a few blossoming tree and green fields, and flowers nursery photos.

We saw a few dried blackberry bushes behind the trails and reflected on the juicy berries ripe, at the end of the summer.

I particularly liked having the kids help me in making a very green friendship salad, and coloring eggs. We managed to make a lot of Persian cookies and had a medley of fine nuts from Iran. They came in a beautiful basket from our dear family friends.

On this first day of spring, I am thankful for facebook, free blogging, and speedy internet access.

We planted mini daisies, delicate pansies, and oriental poppies. With little kids hard working hands who often splash you by pointing the water hose at you, planting a beautiful garden for any window becomes easy.

Let Norouz candles burn through the entertaining dinner parties through the holidays. Floral arrangements keep well if water is changed, stems cleaned, slight cut made at the stem's end, and the petals spritzed.

Plant candy stuffed colored eggs on growing sabzeh (sprouted wheat) and tie pretty ribbons around the bottom with small flowers, tied to the bow. This charming creation makes a marvelous easter surprise for all!
