I bought myself some flowers and reflected there is so much beauty EVERYWHERE even when there are days in this world that no one seems to care.
It is a glorious day even though the sun is not making a guest appearance in my part of Florida today.
Today I will celebrate Easter the Polish way.I will prepare Pierogi,Kielbasi,beet soup and a box of Polish pastries I found it in town by a miracle.
I miss my mother’s touch in so many ways. She would shape the butter into a Easter bunny with cloves as eyes.I will miss those beautifully stained hard boiled eggs and fresh from the bakery oven Polish bread.When I was younger she would fill the basket of food for me to take to church and have the priest BLESS the food before my sisters and my twin would devour it all on Easter Sunday. I miss the mass in the Polish language and the pretty hymns. But I have beautiful memories to enjoy all day.
Happy Spring! ENJOY a new season in your life.
*Did you know why you see Pussy Willows along with the Easter lily at stores around Easter? They are a Polish, Russian and United Kingdom tradition.Also, I never knew this but the pretty Narcissus flower symbolizes spring and rebirth.It is a traditional Easter flower in Northern Italy and France.It was originally the Easter flower by Ancient Greeks.
