Celebrate Spring & Rebirth
Pashka
2 1/2 Lbs. Small Curd Cottage Cheese
1 1/4 Cups Sugar
3/4 Cup Chopped Almonds or Pecans
3/4 Cup Chopped Peaches
1/2 Cup Maraschino Cherries or
Dried Cherries
1 1/4 tsp. Vanilla
2 Sticks Butter, Melted
1/4 tsp. Salt
2 Cups Evaporated Milk or Cream
2 Eggs
Mix all ingredients except the cottage cheese in a large pan over low heat until it thickens to the consistency of pudding. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely. Mix in the cottage cheese and beat well for about 3 minutes. Place in a cake pan and chill over night. Decorate the cake with candied eggs, flowers, chocolates, or other spring delicacies. Keep refrigerated.
Celebrate the Spring pinks and blues, and yellows and greens, and reds, you get the idea...celebrate the shades of Spring. Fill a twisted vine basket with colored eggs and decorative grasses. Whip up cupcake icing using spring colors. Gather branches and hang Easter eggs on colored ribbons and place in a funky or antique vase.
Celebrate rebirth and renewal and long sunny days.
Celebrate the changing of the seasons.
Plant tender young herbs, flowers or vegetables.
Refresh your home with a good spring cleaning.....:)
Cook local fresh vegetables.
Make a big bowl of Ambrosia Fruit Salad. Yummmm..
Walk in the woods or sit beside a lake and breathe the spring air.
Let go of the old and useless and embrace the new season. Give it a whirl girlzzzzzzzzz.
Jump into Spring with both feet and have some fun. Happy, Happy, Happy!

What better thing to celebrate then a chance for a new beginning. Nice post!
I love your goddess with her bare feet and her paints and eggs and all those sweet rabbits clustered around her. Rabbits and spring just go together, although I love rabbits anytime, anywhere! I've just read back through your posts ~ what a wonderful blog you have. I love the paintings and quotes and poems you include, and your thoughtful words to go with them. I'll be back for sure! xo Kari of Writing Up A Storm
Did you paint Ostara? She's lovely. Would you believe I had not heard that name for her until this day?
Regardless of what you believe spiritually, the arrival of spring is worth celebrating. I very much enjoyed your illustrations.
Happy Happy Spring Sweet Magnolia :o)
