The Easter centerpiece on the dining room table came from pure inspiration and a thorny branch of the Trifoliate orange tree. Twenty-five small wooden birds, rabbits, bird houses, and eggs needed lots of tiny branches from which to hang. What better than thorns, something the Trifoliate orange has in abundance. The mini-spikes served double-duty as a deterrent to the cats which could be attracted to the baby ornaments swinging from the citrus stem tucked inside the woven basket. I had not figured on my husband reaching over the table and somehow impaling his finger on a thorn. The little exhibit saw action as ornaments flew off in all different directions. Supper took on a lively atmosphere.
