Happy Easter!

Hooray, Its Easter!Hallelujah! No bunnies in our yard, just squirrels, but somehow we don't think they carry baskets...Hah! There were no community Easter Egg hunts, which is an annual event with many local venues. Hard to have a virtual egg hunt... We think some families with young children maybe did have their own hunting games. There sure were a lot of left over baskets in the stores...we think the priorities of many families is not the usual routine...we feel badly for those affected by the economic hardships that so many have to bear due to all the quarantine rules. And the Gov of our state, just put down even stricter ones...now even garden centers and paint other construction businesses cannot be open. (among other junk....sheesh...)How on earth will peeps be able to do anything at their homes if they cannot get the supplies they need to do them. There are going to be lots of places with unsightly lawns, too...as the contractors that do that work have been told they may not. Sheesh. Hope we can do our own lawn mowing with no issues with the mower...at least we CAN get gas to make it run...its a very thirsty machine when it does the work over our acre of growing grass and weeds. We will likely mow it for the first time later this week...its getting shaggy here and there...and the dandelions are getting into bloom mode. Now the grocery stores are limiting the number of peeps in their stores, and we have to walk the aisles in one direction only. Weird...and they have to block sections off in there that fall under those newer restrictions on what peeps can buy. Petcretary walked past the garden section of our local super store, (not Wally World...), and there was a sign on a patio table: 'We know these will look good at your home, but we are not allowed to sell it to you at this time.' OMC/OMD! Well, masked bandits are everywhere you look, including our peeps when they leave the den...gloves too, if they are available. Signs of the times! We hope everyone is staying safe, healthy and at home as much as possible. And we hope you all had a nice Easter...or what ever holiday you celebrated.
As seen in the previous two posts, we made some cards this past week:
Marg celebrated her Birthday on April 9th.
Iza from Mark'sMews became an Angel Kitty on April 10th
Easter Sunday Selfies! Join the Hop at the Kitties Blue!

  1. Happy Easter to all of you!
    Life is much the same here for us as it is for you. The garden centres closed 2 weeks ago so there are going to be a lot of wasted plants, and bare gardens too.
    They only allow a certain number of people in the shops at one time and that is for essentials only. TP is still rarer than hens teeth. What do the hoarders do with it all??

    1. Maybe the hoarders will have to have a yard sale and settle for pennies on the dollar later in the year...or they are selling it now on the black market. Sheesh!

  8. Guys! You look fabulishious in your Ears and your Easter finery!
    The kids in Midway had a virtual hunt this year, but instead of EGGS it was hearts in windows for the Health Care Workers and the kids were to count how many they saw and drop off a ballot at the grocery store. When they dropped off their entry, they got a bag from the Easter Bunny's helpers to open today! There was a draw yesterday from all the entries for a special basket too!
    Mom says she can't drive the lawn mower. It has a fixed seat and her legs don't reach the pedals. She's going to have to put blocks on the pedals if Alex is not around.
    Hoppy Easter to you and yours from us and ours!

  10. What wonderful Easter portraits! Dad is wearing a mask whenever he goes to get groceries and supplies for me, Myrnie and the doggy. He has a dark blue one that kind of looks black and makes him look like a Ninja. Tee hee hee. Winks.

  12. We had a very quiet Easter here. I think most families did. I bet people with kids and yards had Easter egg hunts at home... kind of like I did!

    1. Yup, hunting at home like we used to do in 'olden days'...

      Pawppy said he got to go to the yearly hunts at the White House lawns when he was a youngster growing us in DC...they still had those when our boys were little but we didn't want to deal with all the security and crowds...

  14. Adorable selfies ! We have these rules in the shops already since nearly a months and signs are on the floor where one person can stand. Everybody wears gloves and masks and we all look like bank robbers. Fortunately no food or toilet paper is missing, but garden centers are still closed so even if you want to work outside you can't buy material. I wonder how long this nightmare will last ! Only Rosie goes in and out wherever she wants to, but she never asks if we need something ! The worst happened for the first time in my life I forgot Easter !!

    1. Thanks! Yup here too...
      I have a few so I can match to my clothes, LOL!
      But the mask I wear at work is an N95 one, so I save that for work time only...

  16. We're glad you had a nice Easter with your family. It looks like you had a good sunny day for picture taking. (Did you get to take the squeakers out of any of those squeaky toys?)

    My peeps were just talking about the newest rules for grocery stores around here too. They think this is over-doing it! My GW sure does not have time to stand in line to get groceries on top of working on the front lines at the nursing home!

    1. We were NOT allowed to de-squeak or de-stuff anything...she is such a party pooper, BOL!

      And AMEN about these horrible and draconian restrictions. Pawppy is the provision collector these days...

  17. All factors considered you had a nice Easter!!!! The pics are darling!! FYI my furiend you should try curbside pickup. If you have Gordon Foods there try them (they have a quick turn around) and the other one I use is Busch's (if you have one there). Busch's I have to wait a few days but I just order BEFORE we run out. Happy Belated Easter! xoxo Stay safe/healthy!

    1. Thanks!

      No Busch here...pawppy gets the provisions mostly...and Meijer NEVER seems to have any slots open, though they do highly promote it.
      We do have a GFS here, but we don't buy in bulk...and they do not carry most of their things we need/want in the form we use. We hardly ever even went in there before all this started, LOL! Its beside one of our 2 Meijer stores.
      Meijer or Wally world have most of the things we use, and they have them in stock if you get there early enough. Same with Aldis's. Just go to their dedicated shopping hours for seniors and essential workers.

  20. Your doubles photo with the hats on reminds Lee you two look like dudes Lee saw when she was young sitting on her Papa's porch watching the men going to the race track. Our stores have the same rules BUT we can buy on line and if what we buy is over $35 we get free delivery from Lowes. Our flower center takes orders also, pay on line, stay in your car, pop you trunk and they put the flowers in your car. We like to pick out our own but in these times the next best thing is better than nothing. We had a terrible freeze and our hosta plants, hydrangea plants are just mush.
