Nine more pysanky and now it’s all put away til next year!

I had seven quail eggs and two XS eggs cleaned and ready to go last week but had to put them all away because work intruded. Our family stuff was on Friday and Saturday, so on Easter Sunday and Monday, I dragged out the pysanky dyes and kistkas again, listened to music and wrote nine more pysanky. I like doing mini versions of designs I’ve already become familiar with. It’s fun doing two-toned pysanky as well, especially on the littlest eggs.

Roberts ES 5th grade students

It was such a pleasure to speak with 5th grade students from Roberts Elementary in Suwanee GA on Good Friday morning. Virtually visiting Roberts has become something of an annual tradition! Here are pics from one of the participating classes. Students asked thoughtful questions and made good connections between my WWII novels and Under Attack: Kidnapped from Ukraine, set during Putin’s current war on Ukraine. 

Hickson Central Public School visit

It was nice to visit with grade 7 and 8 students at Hickson Central today! I had passed right by the school in January on my way to Stratford Christian. On that day it was minus 25C. Today it was a balmy 6.5C, so I didn’t bother with a coat (or socks!)

Loved the good questions and the one-on-one with students at the end. Thank you, Mrs. Van Wyk, for the invite.
