Today we are going to search Lakeway for signs of Easter. We are being catered by Another Broken Egg of Austin. Our entertainment is Bing Crosby.
Menu
Let’s go.
Our first stop is a fancy bunny mail topper.
Next is another bunny but one looking very content.
The purple house has gone all out with Easter Baskets (in the skeleton’s flanges) and eggs.
Now, this is an Easter display that you may remember from last year.
Bunny guards the door.
Here are some pretty sketchy carrots. The spring wreaths look good.
Bunny-eared tortoise. Yes, that is a bunny tail on the tortoise too.
An egg flag is always welcome.
A happy Easter message to all of us.
An easter egg hunt to finish the tour.
So let’s enjoy the food and Bing Crosby.

Hi John,
interesting, we don’t have any Easter decorations here except empty eggs hanging in bushes or trees.
Keep well

Here in South Africa, Easter decorations are unknown. But some families do organise Easter Egg hunts on a modest scale,in their own gardens, for very small kids. The shops, of course, are crammed with chocolate Easter Eggs and Hot cross buns.

Another great Sunday neighborhood tour, John. Love all the decorations, especially that second bunny on the mailbox. (I think I’d leave him out all year!) Not so sure why the skeletons are helping with Easter, but what do I know. All in all, you have a most amazing neighborhood, and I love the way everyone gets into the spirit of each holiday or occasion. Thanks for sharing! 😀 ❤

That tortoise is quite festive, but I wonder if anyone bothered to ask it first before making it into a less-stoic Easter bunny? No worries, I’m sure it enjoys being the center of attention no matter what costume it has on.
