With our current circumstances greatly altered, I thought I’d bring a tiny bit of entertainment to my neighborhood walkers, with and without little ones in tow. Many of the neighbors were setting Teddy Bears in their windows for the kids to see, but sans teddy bears in my house, I chose to have a garden rabbit make an appearance.

I started by posting a picture of the rabbit in a close up shot to make the Rabbit Hunt more fun for folks. The object was to find the rabbit each day, I didn’t post the address except for the street name. I soon had a fair amount of folks, very young, young and older kids some coming via parent taxi. The kids hanging out of car windows or popping out to take pictures, and adults stopping by to see where the rabbit was each day.

I must admit to having a favorite visitor, little Theo, who at three and a half would search for the rabbit and squeal with delight when he spotted it each day. His mother said that he’d find bunnies on our street, but she encouraged him to find the one that matched the picture posted each day on Next Door. I can not tell you how that lifted my spirits when I would see the little family stop by. On weekends, the father would be along, and he said that it’s a ritual now, Theo insists on finding the rabbit. I suggested they may have a little computer genius on their hands, one that was breaking into their email accounts.

Early on, I was at my dining table in the front window sewing masks every day for two weeks for my friends and family and would see folks stop by and search. It went a long way to warding off the boredom that was taking over.

Here are the daily pictures of the Rabbit Hunt, which began April 1, no fooling, and ended on April 15. I simply ran out of places to have the rabbit hide out.

But, stay tuned, a new adventure will soon appear.

Looks like the Rabbit is sporting a fancy chapeau.
