There is nothing cuter than a little baby bunny!
But why is it in my hand?
Because my vicious killer cat came slinking into the house one evening with the little bunny in her mouth.
It took me a few seconds to realize she had something and right about then she dropped it in the floor.
I grabbed it up, happy to see it was alive. It didn't seem to be hurt too badly.
I had no idea where she caught it and it seemed too young to be away from it's mother.
I stood holding it for a few minutes trying to think of options.
Then, the little thing formed it's mouth into an "O", and let out several long squeals.
That was a bit hair-raising, so I decided to just turn her loose in the flower bushes by the back porch. Sorry, poor little bunny!
There was a beautiful sunrise one morning.
The Soil Conservation agency had their annual tree give-away down at the county fairgrounds.
They had lots of choices but I chose mostly Tulip Poplars and also got a few pine trees.
I'm planting them in my back field...after The Sasquatch kindly dug some nice big holes.
The trees are small but had a nicely developed root system. I like the shape of their leaves.
So far the deer haven't bothered them!
My sister had a birthday brunch to celebrate my brother's birthday. They had biscuits and gravy and her husband made omelets to order...with lots of choices for fillings.
I took over some cooked bacon and this cake.
It's pistachio and coconut. I think I've seen a similar recipe called a Watergate Cake.

I so rarely bake anything I'm clumsy at it now. I overcooked the cake just a bit and the edges were dry.
I made extra frosting to coat the entire cake (and hide those dry edges) and used a lot more pistachios than called for. They all liked it and didn't mind dividing up the leftovers to keep.
It was a nice meal and nice to gather with family members.
