Today is the Vernal Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere -- the first official day of Spring! In pagan tradition, it is the date sacred to the Goddess named Eostre or Ostara. Her sacred animal is, of course, the fabulously fertile rabbit, prolific creator of new life after the long sleep of winter.
And what a long, hard winter it's been!
We're all looking a little . . . harried . . . by it, aren't we?
Time to put on our Spring Finery!
Maybe even indulge in some Bunny Bling!
Don't let life get you down!
Be creative!
Enjoy whatever pampering you can get!
And never miss an opportunity for a snuggle!

Oh that last gif gave me the warm fuzzies! Happy Oysters!
Oh. My Goddess.
Bunny bling? A bunny hoodie? Bunnies in a stroller? Yes, please.
I couldn't wait for Spring to be here. I love the season. Pollen gets to me but I just love all the green popping everywhere.
Yay for Eostre!
XOXO
I want to get that bunny cape. Loved the part about your husband whisking the rabbit away in a stroller for some TLC.
Thank you so much for this post. I CANNOT tell you how much I love rabbits. Happy Spring to you! I hope it truly is the beginning of Spring. -Jenn
Lol. Now I’ve heard it all! Until the next time!
Oh gosh those bunnies are so cute...and unfortunately for my weigh ins, the chocolate ones are as well.
Rabbits giving head, who knew?
Hello Debra, In Ohio, little rabbits hopping around are one of the first signs of spring, and I always see plenty of them on my summer visits. I have often noticed how they seem willing to relax with birds and squirrels, and even deer, who are the newest frequent inhabitants of the Cleveland suburbs.

Happy Spring! Rabbits are so cute. I wonder if massage and acupuncture is a real thing for them!
That bunny jacket is so sweet. That ring is pretty too. Bunnies are so soft and cuddly. Happy Ostara Blessings to you and your rare one.
Well, that rabbit looks like how I felt yesterday. Such a fun post, Debra. Gotta crack up at that joke too! Ha,ha.......
Happy Spring lets hope the warm-up is around the corner.
Too funny, every one of those rabbits.
Bunnies have the cutest toes!
Love that Facebook page. That guy sure likes his rabbit!
Love, love, love the snuggle bunnies!
The March Hare speaks for me.
Snuggle bunnies!!!!!! I am slowly coming out of hibernation.....
What a fun post...and I especially liked that part about the hubby that took the rabbit for acupuncture. lol THAT will be my 'chuckle of the day'.
Great pictures..especially that last little video. So cute!
Have a wonderful first day of spring- xo Diana
I'll have to forward this to my rabbit-owning friend. She lets her bunny range free in her condo and the floors are a bit... dodgy. But, she loves Bun and who cares? It's her house!
Happy Spring, Debra! We've got a beautiful day to celebrate Ostara and the turning of the Wheel. Peace, friend.
Welcome Eostre!!
Love that bunny cape!
Try as I might, the rabbit is the one rodent I cannot hate.
Very sweet.
HAHAHA! The missing rabbit message...hahaha!
Happy spring! It is sunny and mild today. Such a beautiful day for my favourite season to arrive.
Those bunnies are not snuggling. They are plotting.
I'm feeling like the Mad Hatter looks after my move. Even though it shorts weather here, I sure would love that rabbit cape.
Omg, friend D … the bunny nose to nose clip is so cute … Thank you … I listen to Jesus Christ Superstar every Easter … and cry for … Judas. Love, cat.
Happy Pagan Easter
as opposed to Stolen Holiday for Christians Easter
Happy vernal Equinox! Love the rabbits. Easter is coming, the hares are getting fat.
Bunny Bling - isn't that what those sugar daddies brought for the bunnies at the old Playboy clubs?
I need acupuncture and a massage. Where do I sign up with said husband? No, seriously, I am just glad for the change of the season. This winter needs to be put behind us and never mentioned again.
I'll share these with the bunnies that live under my front door steps. I woke them up laughing. Happy spring, Debra!
hahaha you are so funny dear Debra!
whenever i want to laugh or smile your posts spring in my mind abruptly :)))
Happy first day of spring my friend!
keep BLOOMING!
happy don't kill any rabbits day.
FINALLY!!!!!!! Now, can someone tell Mother Nature? Because I think she missed the memo.
That last one with the snuggling bunnies is one I need to have on my home screen at work. It melts away every ounce of stress ever!!!

You’ve gotta love a bunny in Spring.

Oh sweet bunnies!! I have a love/hate relationship with them. Our neighborhood is literally overrun by rabbits. They're everywhere and they drive my dog Lila crazy. Unfortunately she catches a few every year. I do my best to save them but i'm not always successful. :(
Love the bunnies..#2 looks old and wise..and who could resist the last ones??HAppy Spring..
Happy Spring!!! Those bunnies are adorable!!
Blessings,
Jill
Oh a wascally wabbit snuggle! How adorable!!! Happy Ostara Debra! Blessing of the season to you and your Rare Lovely One!! xx
Bloody rabbits cause havoc in our garden. :D
awww...all the bunnies are so so cute...and I LOVE that bunny bling...
one of my grandsons has a pet rabbit that he loves to the moon and back...cute post...
Spring equinox is special for my wife and I.
the Ol'Buzzard
We don't have rabbits locally, for some reason, but have hares galore. Fantastic to watch in Spring.
I want the bunny poncho!!!
OMG, the bunny in the stroller getting acupuncture and massage might be the best thing I've heard all winter. lol.
Happy spring! I'm so happy it's here!
Nasty Blogger won't let me post a comment on the book entry - I prefer 'real' books for their feel and smells and haptic pleasures they provide.
I love the bunny kisses! Happy Spring Deb! Big Hugs!
