I love the idea of planting the wheat grass that Trish shows on the Work in Progress blog!  I'm hoping to try this yet this year...

With all the work that I've done in the family room I didn't have time to get a lot of the Easter decorations out.  But what I did get out were some ceramic pieces I painted back in the 90's.
