I take an egg
All shiny white
And then I dip
It out of sight.I leave it there
Within the cup
Then after a minute
I pick it up.And oh!
It’s a lovely
Shade of green!
The prettiest Easter egg
I’ve ever seen.-Sarah Benedetti

We’ve never been much for traditional Easter egg colors in my family. Sure we start off with the basic vinegar-based egg dyes like everyone else, but by the time we are finished dunking and wrapping and mixing and fussing, our Easter eggs never look quite like the classics. I guess this is one way we like to express our individuality.
