With that said, I'm off the soapbox. Now, I'm going to move to the other part of Easter. The whimsical and fun part. We bought some precolored eggs this year, and store bought goodies. The original plan was that we were going to bake homemade things, color eggs and just do it ourselves, like always. Unfortunately, various illnesses and misfortunes made this whole week off kilter, and we just couldn't accomplish our goals. My mom did put up some decorations, and the dining room looks very cozy and happy. I think our artificial bunny statues may have been doing some procreating while they were packed away, as there seemed to be an unusual overabundance of them, some whom I don't recall from last year. Bunnies do like the "bunny hop" after all ;) so I guess I'm not surprised. I'm glad we don't have real bunnies as pets. Don't want to consider that. We had some really cute ones, including a precious baby one, who lived outside last year, but the stray cats spooked them away. Their rabbit holes are still in the yard, and I almost tripped over one that was covered in snow. The irony: I was chasing a stray cat away at the time. Stupid thing wouldn't even leave. I guess I wasn't scary enough.
I think I'll close by wishing you all a Happy and Blessed Easter day. Please remember the true meaning of the day amidst all the fun you might be having. My little nephew will love his basket of goodies, I'll love having the family together, and I am going to take a moment to reflect on it all as well. A nice balance.
