that explains the easter bonnet that greeted me this morning when I went out to fill up the feeders:

tsuki makes a lovely addition to the centerpiece:
at lake farmpark last week we ran across the easter bunny getting all spruced up for the upcoming holiday:

I don't know if this is a common thing, but here in northeastern ohio we've learned that it's quite fashionable to have the easter bunny running around meeting with folks. we saw this sign last week while out on a wander. at the ice-skating rink near my house, there's a sign which states that you can skate with the easter bunny this afternoon. I'd go but I'll probably be too busy shoveling snow and anyway I never have learned how to ice skate, guess that's something I need to put on my bucket list.

speaking of fashion, from the treasure box of old photos I ran across this family picture taken on easter in 1960 in san diego - by the way easter fell on april 17th that year. isn't my mother beautiful - and my brother p and I were quite the cuties too!

herstory:
on this date in 1638 Anne Hutchinson is expelled from Massachusetts Bay Colony for religious dissent. “If any come to my house to be instructed in the ways of God what rule have I to put them away?... Do you think it not lawful for me to teach women and why do you call me to teach the court?”

oh, you are precious! I love that picture. And the cat tiptoeing through the tulips, too. But...skating with the Easter Bunny? In Québec, if would be more like sugaring off with the snowshoe hare. Meanwhile over here in Graulhet, the gorgeous spring has turned to cold, cold rain - sniff. It will be a "Pâques aux tisons" (Easter by the fireplace.)
But it's spring, kimy. repeat after me: It. Is. Spring!
The eye in the tulips is wonderful and what a gorgeous family. You are a cutie.
What a great picture! You all look great, though I must admit I've never quite understood the fur animal thing (my relatives wore them too).
Funny -- for some reason I never even thought about coloring eggs this year, and usually I do a batch just for the heck of it. Somehow it got past me! (Probably because the day came early!)
I definitely hope to see you when you pass through town. I'll be in touch!
I love that last photo. You're mother is gorgeous. You and brother P are adorable, and I especially love his madras jacket.
you all look beautiful kimy!
lee - it's spring. I'm reapeating and the snow is melting!!!
mr- tsuki & gwen are both quite fond of nibbling on tulips along with trying to be a tulip!!
s - I too like to color eggs. definitely the early easter messed up that ritual! re th dead animals.... errr....as a sensitive child I was always quite frightened of that fashion statement... and of course today find it just plain evil (well, okay that's a little strong, but you get the point!). look forward to hearing from you and meeting you in person!
jt - bro paul was quite the little gq model!
lettie - ;)
You are a beautiful girl, kimy! a real sunbeam!
Dennis wants to know if them eggs is edible. Dennis thinks the picture is pretty.
I love the family picture. What sort of fur was your mother wearing? It was all so popular back then.
What a lovely picture! Such photogenic people!
Such class! BEFORE THE REBELLION OF THE 1960s!!!
