Getting Along

The backyard animals all seem to have a truce going on. Al and Fudge don't seem to mind being near each other and sometimes seem to enjoy it. Here they are in the rabbit hutch Aunt Jessica made at the same time. Al is underneath the mesh and Fudge on top.

Ladybugs and Bunnies Ahoy!

During the cleaning expedition the other night I also found some things that I thought, hey, I should be using those! Jessica pointed out that I should use one of the garden flags that I have (that I had been saving "for when I have my own house"). So, today, I decided to put out one of them in the garden and hope that the kids don't kill it. Jessica had also suggested, and I thought it was a good idea to put out a rabbit I had painted while in the young woman's program and a coil pot I made while in my art class for future elementary teachers in the garden. Yesterday Gavin found the bunny and took it onto the trampoline with him. He jumped around with it for a while and then dropped it on its side. Today he went back on the trampoline, set it upright, and then went off on his merry way to jump. The bunny is a gorgeous shade of robin's egg blue (which I love!), but looks awful on the bunny so I thought it wouldn't look very cute as a decoration in the house!

Play Time for Kitty

Gavin and I were in the backyard and I heard a tinkling of the cat's bell. Next thing I know, he's chasing the rabbit! It seemed to be harmless fun for the two of them. He never pounced on the rabbit or anything.
