Easy Spring Cupcakes:
You will need:
> Baked cupcakes from cake mix directions (total time is approx. 30 minutes start to finish)
OR
> purchased pre-made cupcakes from local bakery/grocer
> Jelly Beans
> tinted green coconut
> canned frosting,
optional: tinted green
reminder: Remember how to tint coconut from a previous blog? Get a glass jar with a lid. Put in coconut. Drop in a few drops of green food coloring. Shake well to coat coconut. You can always add a drop or two more, but once it's green it is hard to make the coconut lighter.
Okay - simple directions.
* Frost cupcakes with canned frosting. If you have pre-purchased cupcakes, you still probably need to put a very light dollop of frosting on top.
* Sprinkle on green coconut.
* Press in 3 jelly beans to simulate eggs.
Presto! Bingo! You're ready to place them in a box and go to school!
Timely tip:
Remind your child that you need more notice next time, like a week!
Remind again. And again.

"Now that the winter's gone, the earth hath lost
Her snow-white robes, and now no more the frost
Candies the grass, or casts an icy cream
Upon the silver lake or crystal stream;
But the warm sun thaws the benumbed earth,
And makes it tender; gives a sacred birth
To the dead swallow; wakes in hollow tree
The drowsy cuckoo and the humble-bee.
Now do a choir of chirping minstrels bring
In triumph to the world the youthful spring."
- Thomas Carew, The Spring, 1630
Her snow-white robes, and now no more the frost
Candies the grass, or casts an icy cream
Upon the silver lake or crystal stream;
But the warm sun thaws the benumbed earth,
And makes it tender; gives a sacred birth
To the dead swallow; wakes in hollow tree
The drowsy cuckoo and the humble-bee.
Now do a choir of chirping minstrels bring
In triumph to the world the youthful spring."

Here is a more recent lamb, Shari Lewis' Lamb Chop:
"The mountains skipped like rams, and the little hills like lambs."
- Biblical quote
Here is a classical portrait of Jesus Christ as the Lamb of God,
and as the Great Shepherd:
"Oh for a closer walk with God,
A calm and heavenly frame;
A light to shine upon the road
That leads me to the Lamb!"
- William Cowper
I think both the pencil sketch and the poem are so beautiful. On that lovely note, I will close for today.
