Hoppy Easter!
Buttercup bunny.
Easter is a time of renewal in every sense of the word! The earth is awakening after a void, cold and colorless winter! This time of year makes me feel so alive and grateful for every breath I take!
All I have to do is throw open the windows and feel the warming breeze against my face. In no time, I open the door and I am astounded by the beauty I see and hear and smell! The camellia bush right outside my door is in bloom with white, pink, and candy-striped flowers. The river birds sing with the glory of just singing! And the river, ah, the river flows swiftly with the added snow melt and splashes the wild ducks on its way to the sea, searching, ever searching. The daffodils sway in the gentle rolling wind and in the distance the mists of the mountain swirl innocently through the pines. I shudder to think of living in a world devoid of color and possibilities!
The wild babies begin to peer bravely through the growing blades of grass and the greening blackberry bushes! Bunnies! Glorious bunnies! Nothing sweeter in the whole world!
My late husband, Ron, and I raised rabbits and we had so many wondrous times working together! Seeing that big bear of a man, taking care of those newborn bunnies, made my heart sing! So every year at this time, my memories take me back! I realize how lucky I am! I know in my heart when I step onto Heaven's soil, he'll be waiting for me, bunny in hand!
Now
Blue cornflowers in a field of green...
Goldfinches in an azure sky...
Blessings from on high.
Silver waves in a whispering stream...
Red-winged blackbirds in an apple tree...
Blessings from above.
Purple martins sing their love songs...
Sweet, pink camellias mingle in yellow moonlight...
Blessings from God.

Hippity-hoppity!
Two-times a lady...
My own little corner...
Lavender-blue, dilly, dilly...
Sleep, my lovelies, sleep.
I'm a cutie-pie!
The Easter Bunny Song
Oh, the Easter Bunny's coming, she's the one I long to see.
She's got eggs in her basket, she's bringing them to me.
I'm looking out the window and I hope she gets here quick,
I need Marshmallow Bunnies and a little chocolate chick.
Oh, I love Easter Sunday and it comes round every year
Right now I'm so excited cause the Easter Bunny's here!
The Easter eggs are lovely, with swirls on them because,
The Easter Bunny paints them with her little furry paws.
We'll take the eggs and hide them, all up and down the hill,
And I'll go back to find them with my little brother, Bill.
We will pile up all the goodies and I'll eat all I can take,
And then end Easter Sunday with a big old belly ache.
Oh, the Easter Bunny's coming, she's the one I long to see.
She's got eggs in her basket, she's bringing them to me.
I'm looking out the window and I hope she gets here quick,
I need marshmallow bunnies and a little chocolate chick.
I need marshmallow bunnies and a little chocolate chick.
I need marshmallow bunnies and a little chocolate chick.

About Hop:
Blending state of the art animation with live action, Hop is a comedy about E.B. (voiced by Russell Brand), the teenage son of the Easter Bunny. On the eve of taking over the family business, E.B. leaves for Hollywood in pursuit of his dream of becoming a drummer. Once there, he encounters Fred (James Marsden of the X-Men series, Enchanted), recently fired and determined to pull his life together. Feigning injury, E.B. persuades Fred to take him in, and Fred finds himself living with the world’s worst houseguest. Back on Easter Island, the Easter Bunny’s second in command, an oversized chick named Carlos, seizes E.B.’s disappearance as an opportunity to plot a coup. Ultimately, Fred and E.B. are Easter’s only hope and they find themselves returning to Easter Island, locked in an epic battle to save the beloved holiday. The film is helmed by Tim Hill, director of the blockbuster Alvin and the Chipmunks and produced by Chris Meledandri’s Illumination Entertainment (Despicable Me).
