It has been too long since I have posted here. Fortunately or not, it was not because I didn't have anything to post. Things have been busy here. Since the last post, I have been invaded by big fuzzy jumpy rodents that have been multiplying everytime I turn around. I have heard that they are good at that. The little fellow was the first one to show up. He seemed harmless enough, but there must be a devious mind behind that innocent grin. He invited friends over to party the moment I wasn't looking. ( Rupert has been feeling put out because he hasn't received an invitation yet.)
First, he needed a cute pink girl for entertainment in order to entice his more rowdy buddies. She looks like she is in a bit of a shock. The reasons may be the next rabbit, who shocked me a little as well.
This fellow looks like trouble. He has been staring at me for over two weeks with those crazed pink eyes, and it is starting to give me the shivers.
I think this jack rabbit has been spending a little too much time in someone's garden and not enough time dodging cars on the highway.
I now wonder how many more rabbits are going to show up before I have to quietly get rid of some of them. There will probably be more before Easter arrives. If I'm lucky, a few of them will leave me some colorful eggs and chocolate.
Easter is almost here. The bunnies around my house are becoming excited. They have invited even more to their bunny bounce. Here is one of the new arrivals. He, fortunately, would rather sit than bounce.
The same cannot be said of this long-eared rodent. He definitely loves jumping as high in the air as he possibly can. He has attached himself to my son, who has dubbed him 'Rodney'.
This character showed up just a few days ago, and even the other rabbits are not sure what to make of him. He told me that his name is Homer, but I'm not sure that I believe him. You have to watch out for jackalopes. They are not real reliable. Just as an aside, I think the Olympic committee really missed out on something when they didn't make a jackalope the mascot of the 2002 winter games in Salt Lake City. What better icon of the American West is there? Think of all the postcards they could have sold.
