Easter is a time of new beginnings. Easter takes place in spring brings light and new life. The Saxon goddess Oestre or Eastre is the goddess of dawn and spring and female hormone- thus eggs. As a goddess of fertility birth is the essence.
 So with all this in mind that we now reflect on our lives and make new beginnings in our lives. Being creative is one way we need to fill fullfilled. So on Easter as many families we make a wonderful meal. This year a roast, roast potatoes and carrots with rosemary, yorkshire pudding as mom always did. Then pumpkin pie homemade, with a lemon cake and chocolate bunnies. We put out the best linens and silver ware and dishes all from grama and mom, keeping the traditions going. Dave bought me flowers. and we displayed eggs we had made one easter with Maiya, Odelia, Graeme, Dave and myself. I also put out yellow spring flowers from the garden and an egg wreath centre piece. It was a definite display of honouring the goddess Ostra! Yes, we folks in Canada are so blessed with abundance and must appreciate all we have.
