I'M GOLDIE AND ALL IS WELL .....

The Princess came back ... she knows where the goodies are.

Too bad she can't get along on looks alone - like me and Zoey!!!!Hee Hee Hee ... my threats worked ... looks like some nice green grape slices in there!

JULIE AND JULIA .....

That movie is all the rage at The House of Rabbits ...

Here is the famous "Boeuf Bourguignon" from the movie - a la BL!

And here is the lovely red pot fresh bought in order to bring

a new level of cuisine into our life ...

SOB SOB SOB ......

They don't care about ME anymore =:<(

I'm leaving home.

Don't chew on BL's pretty New Guinea Impatiens on your way out dearie ....

OH - THAT BLUEBERRY ???

It's Monday. Monday is Bagel Bits - over here.(I'll Bagel-Bit you, you pea-brained lagomorph ... ) ... YES MAM. RIGHT NOW, MAM. WILL THAT BE CINNAMON-RAISIN or BLUEBERRY?

DID I MISS SOMETHING?????

Blueberry?????

Oh shush ... go eat some pellets ... you GOT blueberries .....

Here is a big pot of Gerbera Daisys that BL is pretty pleased with!

Usually they sort of fizzle out by now.

I'M GOING OUT FOR A BIT ...

Have blueberries when I return .....

Yes Mam! (Pushy thing isn't she?)

SCRITCH, SCRATCH ....

Oh, that feels better ....

It's the "Bunny Days" of summer here at the House of Rabbits. We can feel busy September coming, but for now it's enjoy the present!

STILL HERE ...

Racer stops by to look at me in my late-August Chill-Out cage. BL brought me a pizza last night!

TAKE A BREAK .....

It's past half-past August ... the summer season is winding down ... time to chill out here ... so says Chico. Therefore he has locked me in my double-wire pen.

Here is the golden ornamental hops .. it's up a 25 foot pole at the corner of our little old barn.

And, it's a doozy. In front there is a bit of a Bald Cypress tree ... came from the Arbor-day Society several years ago in the mail! Just some teeny seedlings.

Three have lived, even though the Arbor Day folks clearly did not study our climate and tree suitability! They are like a feathery-needled Cedar, but the needles turn brown and all fall off in the winter and it looks like heck until the spring growth again!

IT WAS ELVIS ....

.... Elvis from EyeoftheNeedle ... happy for many reasons ... a great place and family he has there. ... Winston from House of Rabbits ... happy for some privacy!

IT'S A CONTEST, FOLKS!!!

I, Lucky, have a contest for you ... in the picture below, who is the bunny and why is that bunny smiling????

MUNNDAY BUNNDAY ....

Here is a hiding tail .... And some more bunnies - Baxter and Winston - getting the royal treatment from company ...

READ MY LIPS .....

OK OK OK .......... so I'm a little late and a lot short. At least I sent the cat packing ....

Although Benji would have enjoyed letting this one stay for longer :<)

Finally ... Silver is back to blogging after a long absence (Silver was one of the original Sticky Buns!) ... and Audrey is in Houston now!

THIS !!!!

THIS came to vist for two days and a night ......

Fortunately THIS (and a brother and some sisters) came along too ....

AND ... THIS wore herself out from a LOT of running around.

PRETTY IN BLUE

Between the color contrast and the way the camera handled it, this looks somewhat like some photoshopping!

You like Fuschias? These guys wintered over - barely - but are coming along pretty well now. They hang UNDER the deck where the bunnies roam, so there is some fine organic fertilizer activity to help their progress.

RG WENT TO BED ....

Everybody thump!!! Lots !!!!

POOFY ..........

Of course I'm poofy ... RG brushes me almost every day. He better .....

Meanwhile, back at the cows ....

The first time the pasture owner let cows in there, BL got pretty upset because always before it was beautiful horses and we didn't think there would be any "stinky, fly infested" cows close by.

Before long they broke through the fence and were all over our yard! 10 of them! Dairy cows - black and white.

We did not know who owned them and the pasture owner wasn't home. We herded back what we could and jerry-rigged the fence. BL got on the phone and finally tracked down the cow owners who came over toot sweet and got the other cows in and commenced to fix the fence. About now BL began to give those guys a piece of her mind ... but the older guy said, "Mam, this is farm country and you live where farming is done. Sometimes the smell and flies are unavoidable. Besides, these are female dairy cows just one year old and they are all pregnant. They will have their calves in November and then we will be able to milk them."

BL immediately adopted all the cows and got up every morning and counted to be sure they all were there!

I'M EATING HAY .....

Chico is slowly getting a long strand well nommed and in .... (looks like somebody splattered a big blob of butterscotch over a white bunny.)

Everybody names their pets .. here are Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner ....

OK OK OK ... Just kidding ... jeesh ... can't you take a joke?

There were six of these nice Black Angus cows in the pasture behind our house - since they broke down the fence and wandered off, there are now only four. Hmmmm ... (we call that fourth one Appetizer - OK I'm through.)

BENJI AND GOLDIE ...

A couple of Desperado Rum Runners!!!!

Some of the bunns are more into grapes!

And the sign is for our friend Boogey from Baton Rouge - if you don't know Boogey then check out Wascally Wabbit at the very end of our Blog list.

WOW!!!!

PEACHES .....

We have a Frost Peach tree ... there are about 50 peaches coming ...

they are looking pretty good!SO .....
What's for NOW ????

PRINCESS BUNNY TIME ....

I'm hiding ... go away. I DON'T do wood floors ...

Chico, Chico, Chico, ... where are you Chico ?????

Enough ... I'm going for my oats ....

See Ya - Bye!

WORDLESS WEDNESDAY ....

WHERE TO BEGIN ....

Well, first, thanks for all the nice garden comments .. that is a nice place there, and the angle of the photo hides all the bare spots, weeds, rain-beaten tall flowers and the dead brown lawn! But still I am really pleased with how the whole place turned out ... it was quite a project and maybe someday I can find one of the "before" pictures!

Second, the tune is "I'm Not Lisa", an old country song by Jesse Colter. She was Waylon Jennings' wife - Waylon is now dead from diabetes but certainly was well known as one of Willie Nelson's sidekicks and one of the 4 outlaws ... Waylon, Willie, Johnny Cash, and Kris Kristoffersen. Waylon was supposed to be on the airplane that crashed and killed Buddy Holly, but gave up his seat to another band member who was ill. I like his singing!

Third, you grow garlic like you grow tulips or daffodils. Plant the bulbletts in late-Oct to mid-Nov. and pull them when the leaves start to get brown - usually mid-late July. Buy the bulbs from a feed store/garden store and plant each little clove separately about 6 inches apart! Each bulb breaks up into 10 or more cloves to plant! There are SO many varieties of garlic.

Fourth, the path does lead to the spuds. The tomatoes are just off to the right of the path .. I include a picture ... cherry tomatoes still green. We do not live in the best tomato country ... usually not enough sunlight and heat.

Here is Baxter. The deck there is about head high off the ground and sometimes I stand there and slide a few dandelions through that slot you see just above Bax and the litter box. (That part of the deck is all glassed in .. long story .. later .. and that is the edge of the glass, just off the deck floor.) Anyway, I just mention "Baxter" quite softly a few times and soon he perks up and hotfoots it right over to those green treats!

"Early Girl" cherry tomatoes ... the little color there is a nasturtium blossom ... I'm not too good at crop separation!

"I'M NOT RACER .....

...My name is Winston" ... tra la la .... "My eyes are not blue" ... tra la la .....

Can you Name That Tune???

It is Winston with his head right over a little whiter spot on the deck floor

to make his nose look white!Want Garlic? Here is this year's crop - just harvested today. About 40 bulbs I guess.

I'll hang it up to dry for a month or so and then braid about 8 to a clump.

Lasts about 2/3 of a year!

I am pretty happy with this one! It's how we get to the front of the house from the back yard and gardens. That is our garage back there and the rails on the steps up to the house sticking out at the far right.

BL Jr. Jr. helped me do the stone work several years ago!

(I have to reattach the downspout before the fall rains ... all the plant growth pulled it apart!)

BACK TO "NORMAL" ...

WOW

... our week of company is gone, temperatures are back to "only" the high 70's, and the big BivalveBash/MudRun Extravaganza is done for another year. (The Bash is a BIG party/Fundraiser for the non-profit we work with here and takes a lot of time and effort and help to pull off ... there is a link over in the Website list ... I did not run this year!)

Anyway ... everyone and everybunn is in total bliss ... I present Lucky as my evidence!A belated bunch of Kudos to D. Moll, all of you, and the great Furry Butt Salute to Hans. I counted at least 100 ... a 100 Butt Salute! Unheard of - a Guinness Record I bet!

A pleasant lane leading to .... the potatoes!
