Two days before Easter

Good day friends I was not here yesterday, because I was finishing work around the yard, because today is Good Friday before Easter and nothing is being done except painting eggs. I managed to finish everything yesterday, but my back hurt so much that I could barely stand it, but I even managed to plant grass. Now I have finished decorating the Easter eggs and I will have lunch now, because it is 5 pm and I am very hungry. Today we have fish, beans and cabbage salad because it is fasting. Do you have a nice day?

@Nevena83 I hope your back is alright! I hate back pain! Those Easter eggs are so beautiful! I love the designs! Well done.

@Nevena83 I am glad you're feeling better and hopefully that will not occur again during today or any day really. I love it! I think that is genius!

Yes, I feel better today, but I believe I would feel pain again if I were bent longer today. Thank you. Yes, it is an old technique, I collect various leaves, put them on eggs, and eggs in a sock and cook them in onion shells.

@VivaLaDani13 Thank you. I often say that I will have a back problem as I get older, but maybe I will try to find some exercises to strengthen those muscles. Oh, you're very kind.

@Nevena83 I'm not of the Catholic faith. I'm a born again Christian, of the Biblical teachings.

Yes, I know, but I think Catholics only celebrate one day, right? Orthodox now celebrate Easter. I have to admit it was all delicious.

Your meal sounds delicious. I hope you have a Happy Easter! What color did you paint the eggs? My day has been fun so far. It is 11:00 AM here.

Oh, yes, it was delicious. I painted them traditionally in onion peel.

@Nevena83 I believe we have used this method before. It has been many years since I've painted eggs.

Thank you so much. Yes, my back hurts less, but as soon as I bend or squat, my back starts to hurt.

I had to check, but it is Orthodox Easter. I was a bit confused for a second. Have a pleasant one!

@Nevena83 I haven't checked, but I thought it was because the church still uses the old Julian calendar. Not at all sure about that

Yes, people are often confused, because I think there are few of us Orthodox here.

Your eggs are gorgeous! Today was fine...kind of a typical day although friend and Jax are still here so I guess it is a bit more lively than usual.

It’s an old, traditional way of coloring eggs and I paint them just this way every year.

Yes, I always enjoy painting eggs for Easter, and the day at home was very quiet, at least for now.
