Views of the Neighborhood – Easter Decorations

Since this is Easter Sunday, it would be fun to tour the neighborhood and see if anyone has decided to decorate for Easter. We are catered by Quattro Gatti in Austin. Our entertainment is Pharrell Williams.

    Very nice, John. The T-Rex and the Easter bunny is a little strange.

    WOW, we are impressed, dear John. T-Rex and Easter Bunny what an idea …
    Here is nothing, but I remember from my time in Germany that painted eggs were hang on branches and bushes.

    Your neighborhood decorations are pretty festive. I saw one of those dinosaur inflatibles…can someone explain why dinosaurs are featured? They were in the Christmas ones and now the Easter ones. I don’t get it. Hope you’ve had an ‘egg-ceptional’ Easter. 🐣

    Love the armadillo. There’s a house I pass on the way to the gym where they keep a couple skeletons on a park bench in the yard. They’re really for Halloween, of course, but they’re also decorated for other holidays. They sported bunny ears when I passed by on Saturday.
