This year we had very snowy Easter:) But I managed to pick up some spring flowers the day before the snow appeared. You might ask why do I need flowers and why those eggs look like that. Well we have tradition to colour eggs using various materials - flowers, grains, coffee, all kind of green stuff and whatever else you might imagine. We take an egg, some of the things I mentioned and stick them to egg usually with the help of a thread or yarn and small piece of cloth. Actually you can use anything even stockings just to keep the green stuff (or whatever you have chosen) pressed to the egg. Then you boil some water with onion husk or whatever else that makes a nice colour e.g. beet,coffee or even tea, in it and you put the eggs you made in that water and boil for some 5-6 min depends on what kind of boiled eggs you like:) and then you take them out, unwind the eggs and you can get something like I got this year (in the picture). So happy Easter - or as we say in Latvian - Priecīgas Lieldienas!
