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
        PS. Nice photography

  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! 🐰🙏🐰

  15. Happy Easter to you and yours, John! Took me a while to find that second bunny! It was well camouflaged. And the Corrs – how can we not love them?

  21. I found the 2 bunnies!!!!

    I’ll have waffles with avocado!
    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.

      1. Interesting about the menus being real.
        Lots of heavy food out there. LOL!
        Yeah… since the poundemic began, and now with the war, I’m splurging.
        If I don’t lay eggs, why am I gathering twigs for a nest? 🤗🤗

  31. I like that they decorated the little free library. These are great, John. I hope you had a wonderful day.

    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.
