Easter Bunny
I guess s/he came a couple of days early, but we didn’t think we’d get an early morning scene like this. Yesterday, the grass was starting to turn green, the deer were grazing the new tender shoots, the sun shone, and the world was warm and welcoming. I wonder if the Easter Bunny will be back on Sunday to hide those eggs all around the garden? There are certainly enough hiding places out there right now.
This is the view from my chair at the breakfast table in the kitchen. I don’t how much snow we have down. They forecast anywhere between 8 and 10 inches (20-25 cms), but there could be more down than that. This is Easter weekend, Mr. or Mrs. Bunny. What do you think you are playing at? We cannot go to church, even though it’s Good Friday. We must stay six feet away from each other. We must walk alone through the snow, if we go out, and who will stoop to help a fallen child, let alone an old stubborn man, from a distance of two metres?
And this is the view of the picnic table on the back porch. Dear Mr. or Mrs. Easter Bunny: didn’t you know that just yesterday we were planning to eat our Sunday breakfast out there in the sunny weather that was the delight and comfort of last week? We had our chairs out on that porch yesterday and we sat out there and read in our isolation, separate books, separate chairs, six feet apart. Mr. or Mrs. Bunny, I do hope you bring some nice chocolate eggs to the children this year, otherwise I might just recommend you for the annual party-pooper award because just look at you sitting all dry out there: you really make me mad, you mad March hare with your pop-eyed April stare.
Comment: For any who think these photos are Golden Oldies, they aren’t. This is what we woke up to this morning, 10 April 2020. Close to a foot of snow and trees leaning on the power lines. Luckily we didn’t lose power. But we fired up the insert, just in case.
Naturally I’m just getting to read some blogs and I’m glad I found this one on this stormy afternoon in April. I know April showers bring May flowers but April floods mean crop failures and replanting. I am spending too much time alone here I think. Makes me just want to sleep and that causes all kinds of problems.
Working from a new phone and trying to set it up at the same time. I’m not a good multitasker so a few problems keep popping up here too. Like my screen keyboard keeps uhmm

They are talking about tornado warning by morning here. I’m convincing myself they are wrong!

the snow makes everything look fresh and new. Sudden, un-planned-for actions can act like this in our lives too.

Rhyming response, Jane. Good on you. I always knew you were a poet! Good to see you here. Looking forward to ‘really’ seeing you soon. So much better than ‘virtually really’ seeing you!
