Description of Coloring Page: Mother Goose, illustrated rhyme, text below, woman in the kitchen hunting mice
- Three blind mice. Three blind mice.

- As three blind mice?

Simple Simon coloring page
- Description of Coloring Page: a nursery rhyme, in reference to the poem below, Mother Goose,
- Simple Simon met a pieman,
- Going to the fair;
- Says Simple Simon to the pieman,
- Let me taste your ware.
- Says the pieman to Simple Simon,
- Show me first your penny;
- Says Simple Simon to the pieman,
- Indeed I have not any.
- Simple Simon went a-fishing,
- For to catch a whale;
- All the water he had got,
- Was in his mother's pail.
- Simple Simon went to look
- If plums grew on a thistle;
- He pricked his fingers very much,
- Which made poor Simon whistle.
He Will Arise!
Easter Day
Oh, day of days! Shall hearts
set free
No "minstrel rapture" find for thee?
Thou art the sun of other days.
They shine by giving back thy rays.
Enthroned in thy sovereign sphere,
Thou shedd'st the light on all the
year.
Sundays by thee more glorious break,
An Easter day in every week.
And week days, following in their
train,
The fullness of thy blessing gain
Till all, both resting and employ,
Be one Lord's day of holy joy.
Then wake, my soul, to high desires,
And earlier light thine altar fires.
The world some hours is on her way,
Nor thinks on thee, thou blessed day.
Or, if she thinks, it is in scorn.
The vernal light of Easter morn
To her dark gaze no brighter seems
Than reason's or the law's pale
beams.
"Where is your Lord?" she scornful
asks.
"Where is his hire? We know his
tasks.
Sons of a king ye boast to be.
Let us your crowns and treasures
see."
We in the words of truth reply
(An angel brought them from the
sky):
"Our crown, our treasure, is not
here.
'Tis stored above the highest sphere.
"Methinks your wisdom guides amiss
To seek on earth a Christian's bliss.
We watch not now the lifeless stone.
Our only Lord is risen and gone."
Yet even the lifeless stone is dear
For thoughts of him who late lay
here,
And the base world, now Christ hath
died,
Ennobled is the glorified.
No more a charnel house, to fence
The relics of lost innocence,
A vault of ruin and decay--
The imprisoning stone is rolled
away.
'Tis now a cell, where angels use
To come and go with heavenly news
And in the ears of mourners say,
"Come, see the place where Jesus
lay,"
'Tis now a fane, where love can find
Christ everywhere embalmed and shrined--
Aye gathering up memorials sweet
Where'er she sets her duteous feet.
by John Keble.
The Easter Egg And The Easter Hare...
 |
| Bunnies should use caution when prepping their eggs. |
There
are various ways of preparing Easter eggs that give so much delight to little
ones. The most elaborately decorated eggs should be emptied and washed of their
contents before they are prepared. This is the most economical as well as the
most satisfactory way to do: Pierce a small hole through each end, blow out the
contents, wash the shells and leave them for several days to dry. Some eggs
shells may be gilded, some silvered and some painted in oils. Simple gifts such
as are suitable at Easter time may be conceded under these eggs.
Plain
boiled eggs, such as are served on the Easter breakfast table, may be easily
dyed with vegetable dyes, which can be procured at caterers or dealers in
confectioner’s supplies. It is not in good taste to make these eggs eaten at
the breakfast table especially elaborate. The elaborate eggs are those which
are supposed to be found incidentally after breakfast, on Easter morning, and
are for the amusement of small children. A dish of pale green, white and yellow
eggs at one end of the table or robin’s egg blue and pale yellow and white at
the other end gives the breakfast table a festive appearance. It is easy enough
to prepare a few eggs in each of these colors to obtain this effect. It is a little
difficult to get a good green in eggs. Owning to the quantity of lime in the
shells all eggs do not take this natural green color as some others will, and
it is better to color eggs a simply as possible than to use any powerful dyes
when eating them later.
It
is possible to decorate more ornamental eggs of which the contents have been
blown out. Eggs may be prepared weeks before Easter and may be hidden away
until the eventful morning. These simple eggshells when decorated in natural
colors using roses or forget-me-nots and each strung on a fancy ribbon will
last a long time, if taken care of.
The eggs of nearly all ordinary birds, from the gigantic ostrich, whose
shell is firm enough to be set in silver, to the smallest bantam, where at one
time represented in many shops at Easter time. These were decorated, to hold
various kinds of candies or for ornamental purposes. You will net to be
diligent to find decorative eggs like these in antique shops or vintage resale
in time for Easter if you live in the United States, for it is nearly impossible to find these mouth-blown, decorated eggs for sale. When my children were young, there was a chocolate shop down the street that sold these but that was highly unusual.
