Symmetrical Purple, Bundt Muffins, Colored Eggs

I published a blog post here every single day from January 24th until March 4th (that's exactly 40 days in a row, hmmm).

Then it petered out. Now I haven't posted in 11 days. And the first thing I have to present is yet another lovely crocus photo from our garden, so prepare yourself:

I love the symmetry of this one, and the shadows.

In the past 11 days:

• Jason came in 2nd place in his high school lunchtimes-all-week chess tournament (out of about 18) - I like that position, because it means you're doing really well, but you still have things to shoot for! Go, Jason!

• Jason also performed as "Garvin" in his high school musical, Footloose. A very fun show to watch, with lots of dancing, singing, and good acting. A local reporter even attended the dress rehearsal and published an article about it. We think Jason's hand made it into the photo, but one can't be sure... :-)

• I made fun shapes of muffins in my new silicone muffin moulds (see photos, wherever posterous places them within this post)

• We colored Easter eggs with a new type of dye we will not use again - it involved using thin gloves, pouring a few drops of dye onto the gloves, and rolling the eggs around in our hands. Gooey, messy, strange. Next year we'll go back to the regular dye-in-the-bowl-and-dip-with-spoons stuff.

We're getting ready to go on a college tour trip for Jason over Spring break. Hard to believe he'll be applying in the autumn. It's going to be a short, packed and focused trip, sadly without time to visit people along the way.
