Easter
We had snow this morning. It wasn't much and it didn't stay around for long, but it certainly came on a day that feels much more like Christmas than Easter. Dani Cole of Cole Run came today to bring back Merlin and pick up Boris (sniff, sniff). They had four inches of snow this morning.
I'm not sure how long rabbits have been associated with Easter. It's been a long time, I'm sure. But until I got into breeding, I really didn't personally have a strong connection between the two. Just like Santa, the Easter Bunny was never something that I believed in. Easter was about new clothes, certainly, but the main things were Sunrise Services and hearing the Easter story - usually several times and in several ways.
I wish each of you a wonderful Easter. Enjoy your chocolate eggs (I plan to stay on my diet). Have fun with your Easter egg hunts. And when you feed your bunnies, pay some special attention to those babies - because in one very special way bunnies do represent Easter very well - as a symbol of new life.
