I was a dumb bunny (who me??)
And I know you are all ears to find out why!
Well, here’s my little tail, er … tale.
I went down the proverbial rabbit hole to prepare this post.
I thought it would be fun to show you the many Hunny Bunnies in my life.
I figured I would just search using the word “bunny” and barring any “dust bunnies” clogging up my digital files, I’d spit out a dozen or so images.
Easy-peasy, right?
So, I went into this endeavor all bright-eyed and cotton-tailed.
Whew! But it was a rabbit hole from where I never emerged for hours!
And, when I did emerge, oh my goodness – I was ready for a nap!
I got gobsmacked by gobs of bunny pics lurking on my laptop.
I watched the images loading slowly onto the screen – yikes!
They began multiplying … like rabbits!
While scrolling up and down, soon I was cross-eyed from peering at all of them.
There were bunnies posing so perfectly, they could have been cast in chocolate.
And some cute baby bunnies who were so very shy.
Wow – I was overwhelmed by all these bunnies for my blog post!
It was almost like someone gave me a lucky you-know-what foot. (Ewww!)
But, I gotta tell ya, when I was knee deep in this project, with a gazillion bunny pics to hop through …
… I truly was ready to slap myself up the side of the face!
And you all thought I was only enamored by squirrels!
I hope you enjoyed this Easter parade of my favorite bunny photos because who doesn’t like those wiggling ears and twitching noses?
Just because they’re not chocolate doesn’t mean they’re not sweet, right?
A bounty of bunnies brings bliss to my day – yours too I hope.
Meanwhile, I am off to go tripping along the rustic trail; I will be sure to wear some flowers in my hare, er … hair.
Enjoy your Easter and please click here for a greeting filled with even more bunnies.

this was such a fun post – I enjoyed the variety of bunnies and all of your fun play on words and phrases (like you do so well)
and the closing art with the flowers in the hair/hare – ahhhhhh, fun
happy easter

Hi Jeanine – I was hoping you would see this post, especially my alter ego Ms. Bunny! I will have a post coming up in the next several weeks about a children’s mural that takes up the width of a playground. Very cool mural images – you will love it, especially the gnomes. I’m still picking thru my Summer 2022 pics. Happy Easter!

Bunnies will be everywhere at the Park once the dandelions and clover come out. They will sit there munching contentedly and won’t move like they usually do – perhaps that is the answer to getting the bunnies to stop chewing on your flowers – let them eat dandelions. I guess it only works for a while though. There is a bunny next door which is huge and must live under my neighbor’s deck. It gets spooked easily and takes off at the speed of sound.

Yes, they will be everywhere. Yes, they eat dandelions. We didn’t have problems with dandelions last year because the rabbits and ground squirrels kept them mowed down.

It’ll be interesting to see if we have many or not. I remember a special yard tool that my mom would have me use to pull out each dandelion like that. I agree…a job for younger legs and someone shorter to the ground. 🤣

That is funny you say that about the tool as I know exactly what you mean. Mine has a pointed bottom and a yellow plastic handle and works well. It was a joke between my mom and me that after my father left, it was up to me to do all the yardwork. So we were at the nursery and she bought me that weed gizmo. Then she was listening to the gardening show and she heard of a gizmo called a “Weed Hound” and she said you’ll be old and can’t haunch down (this is true now – I cannot do that and bought yoga CD and flash cards … not tried them yet). So she bought me this “digger” on a long stick and it works better. Every year for Father’s Day I got a new yard tool, mostly electric hedge trimmers, edger – he liked to use the manual tools. I even did a post about it.

That sounds like a good plan. Aw, so sad. Do the stumps need to be removed?
LikeLiked by 1 person
Yes and they will have to remove the cement blocks that were the shed floor. My father should have put in a rat wall, but only put cement blocks. That is likely why the shed went airborne and flew across the yard, though it was a big shed and made of metal – it fell apart and I had to find a scrapper to come in and cut it up and take it away. They were two seeds that grew up, like in the front yard and now the roots are coming up in my grass (in the front) – not good. I’m waiting to see what happens behind if they put a new fence up after the garage is built – I am guessing not.

Yes, I was sore so I know how Mister feels. Once when I bought many bags of white marble and spent Memorial weekend spreading it and lava rock (which is not so bad as it is lighter) and my hands were like claws from lugging the bags and I felt like a Mack truck ran over me and I had Memorial Day week off for vacation. This was a long time ago. We had plans, going to Canada to visit a family member who was leaving for Vancouver. He wanted to take us around the City where he lived and I had to climb in the back seat of his car as he wanted to drive, so I left my car at his place. I couldn’t sit/stand/grab onto anything for three days. Nice vacation.

I actually wrote two posts about gardening … one was about laying mulch four days in a row (30 bags) and how I felt and then there was this one. Some day read it, no hurry, but I mention getting a new yard tool for Father’s Day every year. After my father left, I bought my mother a present for Father’s Day and got her a card as well, the premise being, we weren’t spending the money on my father who left and took all the money out of the bank and long-term funds, leaving my mom high and dry.

I was chatting with a couple of nice people who regularly walk their dogs here and mentioned your post and my earlier sighting – they said “oh, they’re not escapees – they are roaming around all the time.” It’s not hard for them to just bend under the fence and take off. 🙂

Thank you Dan – I had a lot of fun putting this past together. I see a lot of bunnies too, in the backyard, the neighborhood and at the park where I walk every day. Once the clover is out, the bunnies don’t even move when you walk by them as they are feasting on it. And, once the dandelions are out, the bunnies and goslings are often munching dandelions in the same area.

Glad you liked this post Barbara. I knew I had a ton of bunny pics and I thought I’d feature bunnies instead of squirrels for a change and it was a lot of fun to put together. The artwork is actually a full-sized sitting rabbit on a mural at a children’s park which I’m going to be writing about in a couple of weeks when I return to July 2022 adventures (where I left off). This park has a mural and features designs by anyone who wanted to come and pick up a paintbrush that day – isn’t that a fun idea?

I was really impressed Barbara. I took photos of each area of the wall and all the paintings look great to me. A fellow blogger is a young woman who lives in Berlin and she often goes into the city to photograph murals. Most of them are murals that are painted on entire sides of buildings, from first floor to top floor. They are a little different but none of them are ads … all just creativity. So I told Jeanine I was going to feature this mural on an upcoming post – she also likes gnomes and there are gnomes and a little gnome house as well. 🙂
