Once again, we brought home the “unsleeping flame” to brighten the year’s first warm evenings with the much-anticipated light. Wielding lit candles in a moving vehicle under a gibbous moon always elevated the beats to my heart. It’s not a night to wear loose-fitting clothing, nor to be careless or disheveled which is not so easy at just past midnight.
Still, half-asleep we hope for a little respite and pray for another blessed year knowing that it only takes one swallow to make spring ever so enchanting. Wishing you unruffled spring days ahead without a shortage of swallows to brighten your mornings. Recently the birds dutifully building their nest tucked ever so cleverly in our balcony has captured the attention of everyone in our nest. A dainty piece of architecture yet safely the entwined twigs not only warm the feathered family and their eggs but strategically positioned, it’s a haven from many predators. Καλό Πάσχα!

What an intriguing building. What’s the story behind the giant gold ball? Just decoration? Is that simply paint that makes it so gleaming?

It’s a giant egg…the house was decorated for Easter if you look inside you can see more decorations…they must love the Easter bunny!

Ah! I somehow didn’t put together the Easter egg stuff inside with the giant golden egg outside! Must have missed something. Actually, I didn’t realize that was an egg. It looked like part of the building to me! (Now I have egg on my face.) 🙂

What a fabulous tradition! Glad you all had a lovely time! Spring came and has now hidden itself behind cold, cloudy days and wet nights.
Your daughter is so adorable, I smiled at my desk when I saw her smiling through her pictures x

Aw so happy to hear that her smile is infectious! I do hope you get some cheery days ahead of you with lots of sun. The tradition was easier when I was younger, now getting to church at midnight is a challenge…the key is not to get in a cozy bed before.
