Missing Bunny

Our rabbit that I have adopted this summer has not been around for about a week. No sightings at all. I miss seeing him. He was affectionately called Peter and Run Rabbit Run. He gave Casey a good work out and totally destroyed my corner bed of pink and fuchsia and purple impatiens, which of course, I tried to reason with him about. I told him he was welcome here but please watch out for the dogs and eat all the crab grass! I know it was silly to attach to a wild rabbit but he seemed so comfortable and tame. I could get so close and chat! About a week ago Otto spotted a hawk (may have been the same one that was in our back yard on the deck rail on Feb. 14th) in a tree in the front yard. I commented then that Peter lived under the Hostas in the side yard and the hawk was looking that way. It is what it is but he sure made our yard more interesting this summer. PS I still have no hummingbirds. The feeder has been up since early April and I change the food weekly and move it around occasionally. Guess it is not quiet, dark,woodsy whatever enough. Amanda and I saw one at Cotswold Cottage when we were there for tea. Guess I should do my yard with flowers like there! Hmmmm next summer!

Delta Dog Days 3

 We have not been able to leave her alone for more than a few minutes.  UGH newborn.  She is a sweetheart and not bothered or barking at other dogs. After I worked at the Thrift shop I took her up to the pool deck and locked the gate.  She is so small  she got through the rungs of the deck.  ðŸ˜³  It is what it is.  She is so sweet but so is needy and so challenging.

Delta Dog Day 4

 Beyond belief, we both got to sleep upstairs in our bed all night!  She could not scale the new gate and settled in her crate in the kitchen around 2:00 AM.  Otto gave me the night but after she settled, he came upstairs and she did not bark or whine all night!!!   I came down after a shower, took her outside on her lead and then fed her.  Back upstairs to do my hair etc.  I heard "something" and came downstairs to find that she had opened the pantry (that has a magnet closure on it for dog/children safety) and had a bag of marshmallows on the floor, not opened thank goodness.   I blocked it with a chair but removed anything that she could get to if she opened it again (within her reach).  NOTE:  new plan for pantry.   Later in the day we were sitting outside with her and she picked some cherry tomatoes and ate them (yes I checked on Google that they are NOT poisonous for dogs).  After dinner with friends, she snatched a corncob an...

School's out, teacher let the fools out!

No more pencils, no more books, no more STUDENT'S dirty looks! What a group I had this year, eiy yie yie! I can honestly say if I never see some of that bunch again, it will be too soon. Fun party last night...too tired to sleep! Nice feeling to sleep in. ADK party this afternoon, piano lesson (may have to re-schedule), picking up new car in Ann Arbor and going to Amanda's 2 baseball games. Nice video chat with Andrew & Matt last night. They get so silly! Brian landed safely in L.A. at 2:09 our time. His plane from Philly was delayed over 3 hours. All day to go 5 hours sucks, but he is safe! Congratulations Matthew Sandoval on your middle school graduation. Have fun with your family. I cleaned out 2 filing cabinets of old 4th grade files and old materials we don't use any more. I think I filled 10 boxes to re-cycle. I didn't get my bulletin boards done for fall (who knows where I will be anyway!) or my books sorted (paperbacks). Administrative whispe...
