Colored Eggs

I was thinking about this interesting tradition today.... we take an egg an color it....

then hide it.... then "hopefully" find it....  then eat it? When I was a kid hunting for colored eggs was a big deal. We would color many many eggs, we had chickens, and we had lots of relatives that would come to our house in the country where the grass grew tall and the uncles would all go out and hide the eggs. I personally preferred chocolate ones, but the chickens didn't make those, so there were very few of them. All us kids, cousins, would run crazy all over the fields searching for colored eggs... it was fun! I especially remember when the dogs would find an egg three weeks later that had not been found by us! Interesting tradition... yes it is ~ Jacque
