<span style="color: magenta; font-size: x-large;"><b style="background-color: white;">IT WAS MY SECOND YEAR TO ATTEND. </b></span><br />
<span style="color: magenta; font-size: x-large;"><b style="background-color: white;"><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: magenta; font-size: x-large;"><b style="background-color: white;">I ENJOY THIS EVENT SO MUCH. </b></span><br />
<span style="color: magenta; font-size: x-large;"><b style="background-color: white;"><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: magenta; font-size: x-large;"><b style="background-color: white;">THERE WERE 52 TABLES OF TEN. THE TABLES ARE SOLD VIA A SILENT AUCTION. THE BIDDER WINS THE CHINA, TABLECLOTH, CENTERPIECE, FAVORS, NAPKIN AND NAPKIN RINGS AND ANY OTHER DECORATION ON THE TABLE!</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta; font-size: x-large;"><b style="background-color: white;">THE SPEAKER LAST YEAR WAS SUZANNE KASSLER, A DESIGNER FROM ATLANTA. THIS YEAR DESIGNER AND HGTV STAR, SARAH RICHARDSON SPOKE. </b></span><br />

underground stem (the "crown"), particularly at the foot of the current
season's annual shoots. These renewal buds come in various sizes. While
large buds will grow into stems the following growing season, smaller
buds remain dormant. The <a class="mw-redirect" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primordia" title="Primordia">primordia</a>
for the leaves can already be found in June, but the flower only starts
differentiating in October, as the annual shoots die-down, to be
completed in December, when sepals, petals, stamens and pistils are all
recognisable.</span></span></span></li>

Itoh from Tokyo used pollen from the yellow tree peony "Alice Harding"
to fertilize the herbaceous <i>P. lactiflora</i> "Katoden", which
resulted in a new category of peonies, the Itoh or intersectional
cultivars. These are herbaceous, have leaves like tree peonies, with
many large flowers from late spring to early autumn, and good peony wilt
resistance. Some of the early Itoh cultivars are "Yellow Crown",
"Yellow Dream", "Yellow Emperor" and "Yellow Heaven".</span></span></span></li>

peonies were often painted with their ripe seed-capsules, since it was
the seeds, not the flowers, which were medically significant. Ancient superstition dictated that great care be taken not to be seen by a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woodpecker" title="Woodpecker">woodpecker</a> while picking the plant's fruit, or the bird might peck out one's eyes.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Mischievous nymphs were said to hide in the petals of the Peony, giving it the meaning of Shame or Bashfulness in the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Language_of_flowers" title="Language of flowers">Language of Flowers</a>.

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Peonies tend to attract <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ant" title="Ant">ants</a>
to the flower buds. This is due to the nectar that forms on the outside
of the flower buds, and is not required for the plants' own pollination
or other growth.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Peonies are a common subject in tattoos, often used along with
koi-fish. The popular use of peonies in Japanese tattoo was inspired by
the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukiyo-e" title="Ukiyo-e">ukiyo-e</a> artist <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utagawa_Kuniyoshi" title="Utagawa Kuniyoshi">Utagawa Kuniyoshi</a>'s illustrations of <i><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_Margin" title="Water Margin">Suikoden</a></i>,
a classical Chinese novel. His paintings of warrior-heroes covered in
pictorial tattoos included lions, tigers, dragons, koi fish, and
peonies, among other symbols. The peony became a masculine motif,
associated with a devil-may-care attitude and disregard for consequence.</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: red;">THE EVENT STARTED WITH A PARTY TO MEET THE PLAYERS MOLINA JEWELERS WHICH WE ACCEPTED THE INVITATION TO AND DECIDED NOT TO ATTEND AT THE LAST MINUTE.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: red;">THIS YEAR WE DID SOMETHING A LITTLE DIFFERENT, INSTEAD OF BUYING TICKETS FOR A TENT LIKE WE HAVE DONE THE PAST TWO YEARS, WE CHOSE TO TAILGATE AND BRING FRIENDS. OUR FRIENDS HAVE BEEN SO GENEROUS WITH PASSES TO THE NASCAR RACES AT THE PHOENIX INTERNATIONAL RACEWAY, WE ASKED THEM TO ACCOMPANY US.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: red;">WE RESERVED A SPACE AND WERE PUT ON THE CENTER OF THE FIELD WITH A PERFECT VIEW TO EACH GOAL.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: red;">MY HUSBAND PURCHASED A SMALL POP-UP CANOPY AND WE BROUGHT A TABLE WITH AN ASSORTMENT OF CHAIRS. I ALSO BROUGHT A TABLECLOTH FROM PROVENCE AND A AUTUMN COLORED APRIL CORNELL CLOTH THAT A FRIEND HAD GIVEN ME AS A GIFT TO SET THE FOOD ON.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;">OUR MENU CONSISTED OF PRESSED ITALIAN SANDWICHES, </span></span><br />

<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-size: large;">THE COLLECTION QUICKLY SPREAD TO EGG MOLDS AND BASKET MOLDS, LAMB MOLDS AND CHICKEN MOLDS. NOW, OF COURSE, THERE ARE SANTA'S AND OTHER HOLIDAY MOLDS AMONG MY EASTER MOLDS. HOWEVER, I STILL LOVE THE EASTER MOLDS THE BEST!</span></span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-size: large;">I LOOKED ON PINTEREST TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY MOLDS PINNED AND LO AND BEHOLD, THERE WERE A LOT. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-size: large;">BELOW ARE SOME OF THE EGG MOLDS THAT I FOUND.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">When I was small, there were certain candies that the Easter Bunny put in my Easter basket. Many of those candies are not readily available today, or are no longer in favor. But every time that I see them, they transport me back to my youth!</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I didn't live in the era when these containers were in vogue, but I do love and admire (and collect) them.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I actually used a basket, but I also hid "nests" of shredded grass under chairs and behind the sofa for my surprises. I always received something to wear to church on Easter Sunday. It may have been a pair of lacy socks or gloves, but there were lots of colorful candies, too! The candy company of choice in the midwest was Brach's. </span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I wasn't as fond of the hard shiny coated marshmallow eggs, because they were to large for my mouth and hard for a little girl to chew, but they were very colorful! (I also remember my father helping me eat them!)</span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Most of my friends know that I have loved Peeps, but what they don't know is that there is a favorite Easter candy that has replaced my love of Peeps. It is the dark chocolate covered marshmallow eggs in their own egg cartons! </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Somehow marshmallow became a really seasonal candy for spring. Maybe the
light, fluffy airiness is meant to remind us of spring-time clouds.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Don't ever give me the chocolate covered Brach's eggs in a carton. They are milk chocolate and so sweet, they will end up in the waste basket!</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I also received one of these scenic eggs every year.

<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">My children also enjoyed another kind of candy container. The chicken who dispensed jelly beans from his bottom! (They loved pushing him and releasing the eggs or gum balls, but they never enjoyed the fruit of his labors!)</span></span></span><br />
