Happy Easter, John, and thank you for the neighborhood jaunt. Our neighborhood is rather quiet in terms of decorations. And as for feasts, I suspect you have no competition. Have a great day! 😊

Maybe we’ll walk around the neighbourhood here in north Waco some time later, and see what Easter looks like here. It’s quite a mixed neighboourhood, btw, from posh mansions to decrepit housing. We’re staying at a cottage in 2 acres of a kind of a park and we like it a lot.
Enjoy your day,
Pit

Easter Monday greetings from Rockport/Fulton! I came down to check out Mother Nature’s decorations — birds and flowers! They’re not as cute as the ones you showed us, but they’re pretty. I could have used your buffet, though. There’s nothing wrong with my usual travel food, but it’s built more for nutrition than enjoyment!
