Today is the Spring Equinox, known in pagan spirituality as the festival of Ostara or Eostre. Its Christian equivalent, Easter, is coming up soon as well. Because I love rabbits, this has always been a favourite holiday of mine.
Since ancient times, rabbits and hares have been a common symbol of fertility and of the Goddess herself.
This Spring fertility imagery and the central place of rabbits continue in Christian Easter iconography as well.
How about some fresh, tasty buns?
Here's another kind of tasty --
And finally, let's end with a GROAN!
I'm also linking this post to
Her prompt this week is "rabbits"
and while there is none of my own art
in this post, I'd like to share all
the rabbit images and memes
with her readers too!
I got caught out, thought it wasn't yet. But I'm up for a bunny kissing a kitty!
ReplyDelete...I'm afraid that our dust bunnies aren't cute.
ReplyDeleteThe bunny /rabbit gif!!!! Course the cat looks like he might kill the rabbit in 5 minutes. The last one.....sigh.......
ReplyDeleteThe cat and the bunny are priceless!
ReplyDeleteThe dust bunny made me laugh and then I read that last one.
ReplyDeleteOy!
Hi Debra, My dust bunnies could make mincemeat of yours. By the way, I am going back to Cleveland soon, where there is an unlimited supply of rabbits (also squirrels, woodchucks, etc.) to watch.

p.s. What kind of edible rabbits were those in the Watership Down one? I didn't see any.

There are not a lot of rabbits around here, I saw one last week.
ReplyDeleteA groaning joke.
What do you get when you pour hot water into a rabbit hole?
A hot cross bunny!
I always suspected you liked Tundra Bunny better than the rest of us.
ReplyDeleteNothing beats the Tundra Bunny. (Do you suppose she has cute dust bunnies?)
ReplyDeleteThat block print is stunning.
Merry Equinox!!

OMG the dust bunny!
ReplyDeleteAnd the Watership Down one? I have to accept I laughed.
XOXO
I would love those dust bunnies, although they do come with rabbit poop:)
ReplyDeleteWe have jackrabbits around here and I love them just as much, plus they fertilize my flower beds.
Happy spring!
Rabbit lovers unite! -Jenn
ReplyDeleteWe've had a lot of rain in the last months, and now it has stopped. Just in come time for the Spring Equinox. I don't know how much longer the arm whether is going to last, however.
ReplyDeleteSuch cute buns! I'm glad I have ugly dust bunnies otherwise I might not sweep them up.
ReplyDelete...now eat the cast, lol.
ReplyDeleteYou just remind me that spring is coming
ReplyDeleteI've seen what a cat can do to a rabbit. The one you show is quite the aberration (unless it was my cat that was the aberration.)
ReplyDelete@Moving With Mitchell -- sorry to disappoint, but my dust bunnies never look that cute. More like hairless raccoons, LOL!
ReplyDelete@Old Lurker -- of course Debra likes me, I have the best connections to Lindt and the Easter Bunny!
@Travel -- A hot cross bunny... AHAHA, good one!
Happy vernal equinox, Debra!
Love the cat/bunny. Cat's are so tolerant.
ReplyDeleteNice post. Love that photo of you. Have a great day.
ReplyDeleteHappy Spring to you, my dear!
ReplyDeleteHappy Spring. I must say, it is no longer my favourite season. I used to love it as a child, because it was the season of my birthday and of Easter.
ReplyDeleteWhatsapp doc! It just about made up for 'eating the cast' of the previous one!
ReplyDeleteLovely Rabbit post! -Christine cmlk79.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteNice bunnies

I would trade my Dust Bunnies for your Dust Bunny any day:) I love all of your Bunnies but I especially love the cat(who looks very annoyed) and the Bunny who probably knows she is annoying the cat and is loving it. What a fun post,
ReplyDeleteDebra 😊
