Views of the Neighborhood – Easter Tour

Happy Easter, everyone. In celebration of the holiday, we are going on a brief hunt for Easter decorations in the neighborhood. We are catered today by Forthright in Austin, TX. Our entertainment is The Corrs.

Menu

Drinks – You name it, we’ve got it.

So, let’s get on the bus.

You may remember this from last year. However, this year has a surprise.

A bunny appears while you read the message.

Eggs in the ground cover.

A tiny library, a pickup, a gnome, and some eggs.

Bunny mailbox topper.

Another more philosophical bunny mailbox topper.

Running bunny.

Two bunnies. Can you find them?

An egg flag.

Happy Easter door decoration.

Well, that’s it for this year. Now is the time for food and entertainment. I hope you have a great week.

  1. Wishing you all a very Happy Easter. Off for the Easter egg hunt in my garden with the neighbour’s nine-year-old daughter. Thanks for the Coors. We definitely have the same taste in music.

      1. I’ll take the American breakfast. Over easy with the bacon. Never tried sourdough toast. Sounds great.
        We will be l be at my sons house for brunch and dinner. 49 people. Ugg. Too many for me. I’ll find a quiet place I hope.
        So, Happy Easter to you and family

  12. I’m not going to be online much today, John, but I HAD to stop by Fiction Favorites to check out your Views of the Neighborhood post. I enjoy these SO much, and today was no exception. Loved all the decoration, but the first bunny mailbox topper made me SO envious. I can think of lots of places I’d love to put one just like it. Gorgeous. And yes, I found the two rabbits, and loved the pop-up sign. Your neighborhood continues to impress me every week! Thanks so much for sharing, John, and Happy Easter! 🐰🙏🐰

    It’s Easter, so I’ll splurge with a Mimosa!

    Are these actual menus, or do you make them up?

    It really must be Easter, John!
    I’m sure I laid a few eggs in my comments.

    I’ll go with the Americana Breakfast – I start most days with sourdough toast with jam. Hash-browns are always good. It’s hard to choose between bacon and avocado, but I’ll go with bacon.
