~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~I hope you had a super Easter celebration yesterday; I did! After church, I had my son and his family over for a ham dinner.
Jane, who lives in Pennsylvania, sent me this gorgeous arrangement of flowers. And, look! Some of the blooms are
Blue!Does anyone know what is the name of this flower? I've never seen it before.
It seems that flowers don't usually smell as nice as they used to, but oh my, does this arrangement smell good! I think it's the roses. There are two more roses than the one shown in this shot.
The arrangement is pictured here in our Family Room, where I placed it as soon as it arrived on Tuesday.
That way, we enjoyed it before Easter.
Of course, I used it for our Easter table centerpiece.
Our dessert for our Easter dinner was our traditional egg cake from Publix, a Florida grocery store. They create an egg-shaped cake covered in flowers, but I always ask them to form the flowers into the shape of a cross and write, "He Is Risen" on the cake. This year, thinking of
Blue Monday, I had them do all the flowers
Blue. The icing is chocolate fudge. Yum!
I'm pleased with the way it turned out.

Love that fudge!
That looks absolutely yummy
Happy Easter! Beautiful Spring Spirit here :)
The idea of an egg-shaped cake is great. I wonder if it has a flat base.
Oh, your flowers are just beautiful. And what a nice added bonus that they are fragrant!
I have never seen an egg-shape cake here in the Philippines haha.
can I ask for a slice? lol.
Happy BM Sally.
Good food, pretty decorations, lovely flowers and time with family, what more could you ask for. A perfect way to celebrate Easter. Happy for you Sally.

What a beautiful arrangement of flowers! I know you enjoyed them so much this week. I love the cake! I have never seen one quite like that before. The flowers in the shape of the cross is a very nice touch. Thanks so much for hosting. I've linked up some photos of our trip to the seacoast this weekend. Have a blessed week! Candace
Hi Sally, your comment made me smile. I know some people like my hubby feel pity to the poor crabs, but one time I told my honey, their fate is to be eaten hon, hehehe the more he doesn't like it.
I have a friend who lives in Maryland and that's what she told me too you have plenty of them, she said she bought bushel and boil it then put it in freezer.
But I tell you Sally, it's good with coconut milk and some vegetables hehehehe. Thanks for the visit and the comment I do appreciate it.
Manang Kim

Hi Sally, I arrived home from California late today and I came over to link but I see it is closed. I did not have my computer with me and ran out of time last week to pre-post for today.
Your flowers from Jane are beautiful and so is the cake. I hope you had a wonderful Easter. Bill celebrated without me this year. I was in CA celebrating Easter at my dear friend's wedding.
I will post about it later. I have a ton of catching up to do.
Hugs, Jeanne
