Bunny Scat? - East Missoula, Montana

Ten minutes later, bare grass, thanks to an enthusiastic horde of smallish children. Thanks to a generous horde of volunteers and sponsors, the 22nd Annual East Missoula Community Egg Hunt has grown into a gathering, with so much more to enjoy - for free! - than just an egg hunt - bouncy houses, little kid games, food, and exploration opportunities on fire trucks and police and rescue vehicles, including the Life Flight helicopterA good time was had by all.

Crazy Eggs, Missoula, Montana



(Crazy eggs - not to be confused with Jeff Beck's classic album, Crazy Legs.)

Upon arriving at our relative’s home for Easter dinner, I was greeted by this amazing example of continuing innovation in the field of Easter egg dye kits

The kit that spawned these splendid artworks came replete with flexible and collapsible clear plastic cups rimmed with colour-coded piping. 
So, if you lived off the grid, this is the epitome in egg-dyeing self-sufficiency: you could scoop water from your own creek into the little included cups, add the provided dye tablets, and then dip eggs donated by your very own cluckers - all without cracking open a crockery cupboard door. Well, provided you could convince your logical mule that egg technology justified a trip to town in the first place. 
Good thing there’s always an organic fallback option in beet juice, boiled onion skins and tea bags.
