Happy Easter..laid any eggs today?

“Sorry, couldn't resist..I do wish all of you a Happy Easter and to the non-Christians amongst us, what do we care..any excuse to eat works for us, doesn't it..;)..:^O”

“Hiya mataharihiker! Happy Easter!

My kids found their baskets and all the hidden eggs. They were so excited. They each got a 16 oz, narrow mouth nalgene in their baskets along with new toothbrushes, a book and some candy.

It has been warm and sunny here in Northern Michigan. Yup! 43* yesterday. I shoveled out the front steps so we can use our front door again! Wooohoo! Now I need to fix the front door. *sigh* always something...

Time to go hiking... or snow shoeing... time to get out and enjoy the day!”

“Hey, Sunshine...I used to love making Easter Baskets for my Bill and he used to love getting them even tho' he's in his 40's..however, with the advent of too many pounds and high cholesterol I've had to forgoe baskets..I still couldn't resist getting him a chocolate bunny.

So, how long before we see you and the kids out on a trail?”

“Happy Easter everybody, I hope the Easter Bunny was good to all!”

“Happy Easter all. A beautiful day is in store.”

“Happy Easter, everyone.”

“Enjoy the day and all the candy. I bit into my white chocolate bunny shortly after midnight since I was working.”

“The resurrection of Christ, as EVERYONE knows happened to fall on the Roman holiday of yummus rabitus when it was tradition to give away a roasted rabbit stuffed with hard-boiled duck eggs covered in honey. In fact, when people were out there standing around waiting for Christ to be resurrected, many were passing the time by slowly turning their spitted rabbits, boiling eggs, or getting stung by bees.

A lesser known fact is that when giving out these springtime gifts, it was tradition to hide bits of hallucinigenic mushrooms among the eggs inside the rabbit. Some have argued that this is why people say Jesus had a halo when he rose from the dead. Others have insisted that the halo is actually part of the ignitus spontaneous pricklius bush which the Roman soldiers had used to fashion Jesus's crown of thorns from, and which, incidentally, Moses spent a day on mount Sinai watching when a similar bush burst into flame, as it is wont to do from time to time before it grows anew from its own ashes, which is where we get the legend of the phoenix (probably from some poor bird trapped in the thorns of one of these bushes).

At any rate, the point is that I celebrate Easter because I'm a Roman Horticulture expert.
