"HEY! WINNIE!" ...

... "Winnie? What do you suppose he sees in that thing he looks in?" "Well Lucky, if it ain't treats it ain't worth it. I chewed that strap once. Nothing fell out." "Dumb." "Thanks Boyz."

"DING DING DING! DINNER BELL!"

Pavlov's Rabbit!(Thanks for all the great takes on Savannah and her egg nest ....)

"WHEN IS EASTER? ....

.... I'm working on a good, early supply of Easter Eggs here." - Savannah"Wadda ya tink? Who'll break the news to S-bob?" - RG

"I WANNA GO OUTSIDE ....

.... NOW!" - The Princess"Toot sweet dearie - it is a dandy day out there." - RG

"DO I LOOK LIKE ....

.... fermented spinach or something? Hows come Zoey gets all the attention? Hmmm? - LuckyThe girl can't help it Lucky! - RG

"YOU WANT SPRING? ...

... I'll give you Spring! How's this?" - Zoey"Good job Girlie-Girl! Knew we could count on you!" - RG

HEY - IT IS SPRINGTIME AT LAST

.... Sort of ....

"Nice try RG. Smells like last year's." - Winston

"Gangway Winnie! I'll nom it! - Lucky

... but he wouldn't either - Savannah had to.

"I HEAR ....

.... Spring Peepers! It MUST be close now." - Chico

Oh Chico. It is SO obvious why BL likes you SO much!

"WHERE'S SPRING? ....

.... in case you haven't noticed, that is STILL the Valentine flower back there. We want some sun and warm." - Benji

We all do Benji-loo. Hang tough. It's coming. - RG

"JUST SAYIN' ....

.... have a Happy St. Patricks and Where's the Green?" - The Princess

"Coming! I'm Coming. Hold your horses." - RG

"MY GOSH BUT THEY BETTER ...

... clean the green slime off this place. What will the neighbors think?" - Benji and Goldie

"They will disapprove guys - right?" - RG

(PS - Black Bart is fine - he is apparently bonded with a mate at his home.)

"IT WAS MEEEE!

... with my little white toesies!" - Racer

(Still no sign of Spring here.)

"DOES ANYBODY KNOW ....

.... this Bunny?"

PS: If any of you Northern Hemisphere bunnies have spring yet, don't tell us.

We would probably cry.

"VACATION" PIX ....

A stormy view out the window looking North East toward Shaw and Lopez Islands. We are on the South East tip of San Juan Island - Griffen Bay.

BL on the beach of American Camp on the South West tip of San Juan Island - Cattle Point way in front of her. The Pig War was "fought" on San Juan Island about 1850 with the Brits. This camp was run by Commander Roberts - of Roberts' Rules of Order fame!

Me at Lime Kiln Light House on the West side - good place to see the resident ORCAs - saw none!

Roast hog dogs on a smokey fire!

Lots of Bald Eagles!

BL and a HUGE Madrona tree...

Found a few agates! See it!

That Treat? That's it??? Pssshhhhhh .....

We got just a very weeny small hint of the tsunami. How awful for that part of Japan. So fragile we live on this earth....

"WE SURVIVED VACATION -

- thanks everyone for your good words and support and concern. Now, back to normal!" - Chico

"And thanks to F.O.T.A. for the great care and attention." - RG

(Late edit - if you have not checked out Raspberry Rabbits, Zoey requests that you do.)

"GUYS! WE'RE BACK!"

"So? Now what?" - Racer

"They are ecstatic to see us. We had a nice time. More later." - RG

"SAY, BENJI. HASN'T IT BEEN ...

... nice out lately?" - Goldie. "Yessiree Goldie, but I have heard the Peeps are going off to finish their vacation - for 3 days and two nights. I hope we will be OK." - Benji
"No worries Pets! F.O.T.A. will be tending shop - you are in good hands!" - RG

OFF WATCHING THE SKIIERS TEACHING ....

#1 Granddaughter with her class, headed up.

#7 Granddaughter going down backwards after dousing me with snow ...

These twerps have been on boards since they could walk ... pretty good!

"You ever try skiing KB?" ... "No Princess, did you? I prefer it here!"

"A SWIRL HERE, A WISP THERE ...

... and I'm ready for the big show! Hello. Oprah?" - Zoey

"She is a bit pretentious, eh?" - RG

A FINE TALE ...

... er Tail!

A LUCKY SNUGGLE !!!!

BL can pretty much snuggle every bunny this way for a long time. Zoey and Winston aren't so easy, but they like lap cuddling plenty fine too. I think it is because we got most of the bunns when they were quite young and they got plenty of snuggling then and now expect it - if you know what I mean!

"WE HAVEN'T BEEN OUT ....

... on the deck for many days! But, who's complaining?" - Benji

BUNNY ARCHITECTURE

Very post-modern there Racer. How did he do it? Who knows - that is him, the little bit of black, on the lower floor to the far left.

"IT'S OSCARS NIGHT"

"I'm in charge - dinner and bed-time salads!

BL gets the TV." - RG

"You done good RG, I'm happy." - Savannah

"You are a pretty girl too." - RG

(Both of you. I meant both of you. Honest. I did.)

"BAD HARE"

Poor Goldalina. It is so cold and dry. She needs some goop I guess.

"THEY'LL NEVER SEE ME! ...

... I'll fit right in with these other odds and ends!" - Winston

"Winnie, Winnie, My Winnie! YOU are not odds and ends!" - RG

STAYING COZY ....

Three bunns (you can just see Zoey, lower right) and a cat, lazing a cold afternoon away!

Here's why ... about 30 degrees and headed WAY lower fast!

Pretty though.

Mount Baker to the back right, behind the timbered hills. Acres of blackberries in the front there, with their summer bird covers pulled back and wrapped. Further back to the right - reddish - those are blueberry plants. The white post is a windmill, used in April if it is going to frost. There are several of them, run all night, sound like helicopters. Fun! (In fact, they just fired them up for tonight - they must be pretty worried - we have had no serious spring weather yet at all.)

"IT'S ME! IT'S ME!"

"But first - the House of Rabbits from the road in the snow. That's our lane going up on the left. I'm in there waving!" - RG

"My gorgeous self! - Lucky

Yessirrrr ... it was the Luckster all right. He loves that hiding place.

What a lot of creativity and wishful thinking you all provided. Thank you much.

We will survive the snow. It will be gone on Sunday.

"WHO AM I?"

"Why am I hiding?"

"Hey you rascal! Time to come in. There are fresh oats and a snuggle!"

"WHAT'S THAT I HEAR? ....

.... snow? NOOOooooo!" - The Princess

"Sorry squirt - Mr Weather says we are in for it. Hunker down. Work on your knitting or something. We are well supplied." - RG

"OH, I'M DOING OK ...

... thanks for asking." - Racer

"And I guess that is the black and white of it." - RG

LIFE IS GOOD ...

"IT'S THE YEAR OF THE CAT!"

"... and why not?" - Kitty Boy

"Somebody help that cat ... oh forget it. He's hopeless." - Chico

"I suspect you shall be hearing about this KB." - RG

"MY BOWL IS EMPTY."

"In case you didn't notice!" - THE Princess

"I feel so inadequate." - RG

(An update: one of the blogs to the right is Byootaful Life which includes Puddy the cat. (One of the honorary cats on the fabled 7-Bunny-7 venture awhile back.) The humans on that blog live in Australia and a few months ago came to Vancouver, B.C. for several months, leaving Puddy with friends. Long story but Puddy left and was gone a long time but just returned! Good news for all who need some!)

ANYBODY OUT THERE NEED ...

... a Chico fix???? (Yur welcome.)

(Yesterday's fancy bunny came from the "Dandy's Journal" Blog off to the right - the folks with Bunny Tunes! The plant is an azalea - Benji could give a whip about eating it ... Benji is a carrot man!)
