Happy Easter!
This rabbit's favorite holiday season (other than Halloween, go figure?) centers on Easter. I love the bunny and lamb motifs, the Spring rebirth theme, the customary foods, and the change and feel in the weather. The world just seems to reawaken as the snow recedes and the blooms begin.
The birds are up early, singing and twitterpating among the still barren branches; they'll be gathering grasses and twigs soon to make their nests. We've had a pair of rabbits out front, and it's probably one or both of them I see in the dogs' fenced yard occasionally. The deer have come back now that the snow pack has gone. We've even had a young fisher (Martes pennanti) hop silkily through the back woods.
Last night we watched Winnie the Pooh:Springtime with Roo On Netflix. I always identify with Rabbit though my son says he acts like a complete dick (hmmm, how do I act? *snicker*). The night before I watched Here Comes Peter Cottontail by myself: I love this song from it :D
Well, I'm off to hide Easter eggs and decide how and when to prepare the ham for dinner! Have a happy!

And quite recently (some years ago, but not too sure how many) came across the Russian Winnie The Pooh animation - that is so cute! (I looked for one that says "english subtitles", but now can't find them: https://youtu.be/bEwE4wyz00o)
It's actually curious to ponder some characters ages, especially in some such case when the age doesn't really show, and characters can be children one moment and adults next like cartoon animals. (I got stuck searching for Miś Uszatek in YouTube - wikipedia told it's been shown in Canada as well, so I guess there would be some english translation, but "Teddy Floppy Ear" brought just some gameplay walkthrough videos. There's been some discussion of the age of characters in that show, as the characters seem to be all children and even go to kindergarten or school in some episodes, but yet the teddy lives alone and sometimes the adult characters (like bunnies' mother and piglet's aunt) turn to him for advice in some cases.
...After finding "Category: Fictional Bears" from Wikipedia and cheerfully browsing on, I guess I have already forgotten what I possibly was going to say before I got carried away...

My children opened my portal back to my love of furry-themed toons. Gummi Bears and The New Adventures of Winnie The Pooh hit the tv when my eldest was three, and they seemed to run for years afterwards. A ton of merchandise is aimed at the adults, though, possibly due to the perception that The Hundred Acre Wood somehow symbolizes (and I hatethis term) Baby-Boomer desire for days gone by. I know I watched a lot of shows with such misty thoughts versus my children just enjoying watching bumbling Pooh and sc-sc-scared P-p-p-Piglet ;o) Now my youngest sees these shows as his own halcyon childhood!
