Songs my mind connects with Easter even if they have nothing to do with Easter...

Those songs remind me of being a kid...which is when Easter meant bunnies and Easter baskets full of candy...

:)

Yep.

The Wild World one especially reminds me of the Easter we all got flower plants (I believe all were perennials) in our baskets. We'd get candy, but the Easter Bunny always put in a few small gifts (nothing like today, when people are expected to put in a full wardrobe and a car!). My siblings and I all got our own individual plants, which somehow seemed so cool. I got daisies. I still remember what my sisters got... one got Pinks, and the other got Lily of the Vally. I don't remember what my brothers got... they probably weren't as thrilled as I was.

Lervely dogwood... looks like the coral one! I loved those. As I said, we had white and pink ones in our yard, but when I went to college, there was a bazillion coral ones. Gorgeous.

I also just remembered how my dog would eat only MY rabbit (good thing those rabbits were usually faux chocolate). Our Easter baskets were always placed out in front of the fireplace in the living room... a room the dog was not allowed to go into, and didn't... except when we'd return from Sunrise Service (another good reason not to go), only MY rabbit would be missing (this happened at least 3 years in a row). She'd always leave the little blue bow though... kind of like salt in the wound. We finally realized we had to put the baskets on the mantel before we left.

One other memory... of how e-ville the bunny could be when hiding eggs. I am remembering one that was hidden in the fruit bowl, inside a hollowed out grapefruit rind. The egg was wrapped with paper towel and stuffed in. Midwestern bunnies don't mess around.

There was a squirrel on the fence yelling at me when I went to my car today.

I'm not sure I'd admit to that... The men in the white coats will be coming for you soon... and you'll be living with the squirrels.

I don't get the Easter songs. Clearly Easter is about the risen dead, which is why Cannibal Corpse is the ultimate Easter band.

Clearly Easter is about the risen dead

Not the unleavened dead...

And now, since Substance has brought up REAL Easter stuff, I'll have this damn thing stuck in my head all day!

that ELO song brought me the first smile of the work day. haven't heard it in forever

I love super hard easter egg hunts. I did a really hard one for C. in the end I had to do the "you're getting warmer" for him to find some of them!

[Kathleen]

hmmmm. thinking about it, B would probably like it (though I won't make it hard). I just don't like giving her candy. I wonder what we could put in the eggs? or maybe just hide real eggs?

Blue Kid grew up telling people he was allergic to chocolate. He wasn't! But, he would never ever eat it. Weird kid. :) So, the Easter Bunny never brought him a chocolate bunny. He was a Skittles kid.

KATHLEEN LOL. I read your comments wrong. Originally I thought you wrote that you love REALLY HARD EASTER EGGS. And I thought.... hmmmm, never knew you could make them in varying degrees of hardness so that you could make REALLY hard ones. lololol

I need a nap.

How I imagine ZRM.

Teh Easter Bilby.

[Jennifer]

LOL @ the ZRM cartoon.

Easter Bilby?!? Is this like a Sasquatch vs. a Yeti??

[Jennifer]

K- I'm old school and still hide real eggs. I also hide some of the plastic ones and put other stuff in it... things I've put in them over the years... quarters, little chicks, rings, stickers, etc, etc, etc.

The rabbit still hides eggs... :) It's nice to be able to make it more and more challenging, but it's also fun to see them look in places where they KNOW there will be one.

I think the best hidden/lost egg story I had growing up was when the bunny put an egg in the stack of clean clothes that was on the stairway to head to the upper floor. The stack of clothes was put away without realizing there was an egg in it, but was shoved into a drawer. The egg was not discovered for sometime. It was not pretty.
