The first was one I had never tried before. I gathered leaves from my emerging gardens, wrapped them in sections of panty-hose, and boiled them in water and onion skins.
The difference was that this year I blew out my eggs in the hope that I might be able to save them.
Next year I'll just go with the temporary joy of these eggs. The blown-out shells were generally just too delicate to hold up to the routine I put them through. But, maybe I'm just a blow-hard with a rough hand.
They're beautiful, Leslie. Happy day!
