Bunnies Revisited

| Flower Roberts

Since I am staying with my sister for a bit and away from my plant collection, I thought it would be a good idea to share my favorite bunny posts during the cold weather.

I spotted Barley when my family went into a pet shop to buy fish. I refused to leave without him. I did not want a lonely bunny, so I made my daughter pick out another one. She picked Charlotte because while all the other bunnies were trying to eat, Charlotte sat in the middle of the food bowl. We thought this was both smart and funny.

Here are my favorite posts about these two funny bunnies. They are no longer with us. Each was put to sleep, about a year apart, in my arms under a tree in the yard of the specialized vet clinic. Heartbreaking. No regrets.

I hope you enjoy this cuteness overload.

Please do not run out and adopt bunnies. They were a lot of work. Entertaining, but needy. I love all my pets wholeheartedly, so losing each is traumatic.

Waiting for the Lights to Come On

I end my days with the bunnies, waiting for their lights to come on.

I quietly sit in the black chair with my feet up on the bench.

I listen to their munching as the light in the sky dims.

The two solar globe lights blink on first.  IMG_1712

Moments later, the garden glows with a warm yellow light from the of Market bulbs.

That’s my signal that the bunnies are safe and my day in the garden has ended.

I pause just a bit, in the glow, in the quiet.

It’s a peaceful way to end a day.
