Now that our chicks are enjoying their foster time, I wanted to wish them a happy Easter (if they and their foster families celebrate it, of course). Newly hatched chicklets are symbolic of the holiday, as are their marshmallow counterparts.
Tasty and Fun to Eat
I wonder why a bunny became associated with Easter, instead of a chicken. (Notice, once again, that I have temporarily shelved use of my ordinary monikers, hopping breakfast and winged dinner, out of respect for our chicks and Morgan the Library Bunny, who are my friends and colleagues.) I get the egg association; so why not an Easter Chicken? Just asking. I'm sure there are good reasons why we have an Easter Bunny.

So, for those of my readers celebrating Easter, I hope you save me some of your great chow. I am partial to turkey with gravy, mashed potatoes, and biscuits with honey. Make sure the potatoes are freshly peeled; none of this instant boxed stuff. Same with the gravy; if it comes out of a jar, let your relatives eat it. Fresh ingredients for moi, if you please.
We have loads of cute photos of our chicklets posted on Broadway Gal's Hatching Chicks @ MPL blog. Take a peep --er-- peek.

P.S. Since some of our chicks are yellow (the Peeps certainly are), our closer today is "Yellow," by Coldplay (from the Parachutes CD [2000]).
