Easter morning broke sunny and bright. I opened the curtains to let in the morning light and what a treat. The Easter Bunny had visited my very own “front yard.”

Scattered among the trees and picnic tables were large pastel Easter Eggs of various sizes. I counted 18 on the northern half of the park and figured that some group had set them out as decorations for a children’s Easter egg hunt. Repeatedly I went back to my window to see what group would show up, but nobody came.

Throughout the day, I continued watching the park. As people came, the eggs began to move. Children carried them around and played with them. An Easter egg hunt at the back of the park didn’t seem to be associated with the mysterious eggs. The day became colder and visitors to the park became scarce. So did the eggs. I continued to count the decreasing numbers and thought people were taking them home.

Late in the afternoon, there were only four eggs left. Everyone had left the park except two teenage boys who were wandering in my direction. Suddenly, they scooped up the last four eggs and ran north from the empty park as if someone might be watching them. Perhaps I was the only one who saw them make their getaway.

I thought to myself, “we’ve had an art attack!”

The Easter Bunny has a hit and run and from my vantage point, I got to see the event unfold. What fun — thank you whoever you are.
