Easter Eggs

Saturday night we colored Easters Eggs the old fashioned way. Actually that is the only way I have ever colored Easter Eggs. First you dig up red roots in Santa Clara at the bottom of grave yard hill. Then you mash them up in side a bag with a hammer. Now you put the roots in an old pot, add water and boil so the water is a dark red. Then you collected flowers, grass, and weeds to lay all over your kitchen table. The next part is tricky and takes great skill that has been acquired from YEARS of practice. (Grandpa Gubler is the best egg wrapper that ever lived.) What ya do is you wrap the flower, grass, weeds, etc. around the egg with string. Then you place it in warm water for a bit before putting into the hot red root water. Boil about 10 minutes and whula......you have a pioneer Easter Egg. Unfortunately the pics are not doing them justice.
