Little Funk Library Hello, Spring is here! (well sort of haha).

I just love the idea of grabbing a good book and reading outside in spring, taking that moment to be calm and allowing your sense of adventure to soar by finding a good seat to take in the sights and sounds of nature. The birds singing, the smell of cool refreshing musk as the sun lightly kisses your skin harmonizing with a cool breeze that teases.

Book in hand and nothing else matters but where that book takes you. That’s how you fall in love with reading my friends!

In our Little Free Library this month you will find some handmade bookmarks... our spring special Bloom Bookmarks are made from seed paper and there are some pressed flowers hidden in books.

Have a great Month all and enjoy the beauties as nature wakes up.

Giving eggs is a tradition that dates back even farther than Easter.

Easter takes place on a Sunday, after the 40-day period called Lent. Lent is referred to as a time of fasting, but participants focus more on giving up one significant indulgence.

Easter Paska Buns Ingredients For the buns: 2 tablespoons instant dry yeast 1 cup room temperature water 1 teaspoon white sugar 7 - 7 1/2 cups all purpose flour 3/4 teaspoon salt 1 lemon 1 orange 1 1/4 cup milk, at room temperature 1/2 cup butter, melted 2 eggs 3/4 cup sugar For the frosting: 8 ounces full fat cream cheese, at room temperature 1/2 cup butter, at room temperature 2 cups powdered sugar a few drops of milk, until spreadable consistency is reached sprinkles (if desired) Instructions For the buns: Add the yeast, water and sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook attachment (or use a large bowl and a hand mixer with a dough hook attachment). Let rise for 2 minutes.

Add 6 cups of the flour and salt to the bowl with the yeast mixture.

Zest the lemon and orange and add the zest to the bowl with the flour and yeast mixture.

Peel the orange and lemon and add the flesh of the fruit to your blender (be sure to remove the seeds).

Add the milk, melted butter, eggs and sugar to the blender and blend on high speed until smooth.

Add the contents of the blender

Holy Week is the celebrated during the week leading up to Easter. It begins on Palm Sunday, continues on to Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and then finally, Easter Sunday. to the bowl of the mixer and mix on low speed until a sticky dough forms.

Add the additional 1 to 1 1/2 cup flour as the mixer kneads the dough, 1/2 cup at a time until the dough becomes less sticky, but still soft.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and rise for 90 minutes.

Divide the dough into 30 equal pieces and roll each piece into a round bun shape. Place the buns on parchment paper-lined baking sheets.

Cover with a kitchen towel and rise for about 20 minutes (this is a good time to preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit).

Bake the buns at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for about 18 minutes, or until the buns are light golden brown on top.

Let the buns cool on the baking trays until completely cool.

For the frosting: To a medium bowl, add the room temperature cream cheese and room temperature butter and cream them together with a hand mixer or wooden spoon.

Add the powdered sugar 1/2 cup at a time and mix well until blended, scraping down the sides of the bowl after each addition.

Add a few drops of milk if necessary to loosen up the frosting so it’s easily spreadable.

Spread a little frosting over each of the cooled buns and sprinkle with sprinkles for decoration.

Enjoy immediately, or store in an air-tight container for up to 3 days at room temperature.

The first story of a rabbit (later named the “Easter Bunny”) hiding eggs in a garden was published in 1680.

“Easter” was named from the Anglo-Saxon goddess Eostre.

At least, this is what author Bede stated in the book he wrote back in the eighth century. This goddess in particular was known for spring time celebrations and fertility. Some believe that Eostre (also sometimes spelled “Eastre”) also had a connection with two other big Easter items — hares and eggs.

Egg dyes were once made out of natural items such as onion peels, tree bark, flower petals, and juices.

There’s much debate about the practice of dyeing chicks. Many hatcheries no longer participate, but others say that it isn’t dangerous to the chick’s health because the dye only lasts until the chicks shed their fluff and grow their feathers.

The white lily is the official flower of Easter. As they represent grace and purity, many churches and homes have chosen to decorate with the white lily for the holiday. In fact, they’re commonly known best as “Easter lilies.”

Easter is the oldest, and most important, Christian holiday.

You might assume it’s Christmas, but it’s actually Easter. To understand its impact, keep in mind that very early Christians celebrated the resurrection of Jesus Christ every single Sunday, until they decided to dedicate a full, annual day to him.

Even though Easter started as a pagan holiday, Christians adopted it, and many who celebrate don’t pay any mind to the pagan aspects of it (like, for example, the Easter bunny). Many believe that Easter is the backbone of Christianity, which is incredibly thought-provoking.
