All about my adventures with cooking, crafts, and travel
I tried to get Bunny in the pictures but she was feeling camera shy so just Jack was featured with Autumn. Maybe another time.
Wants to eat the bunny!!!!
Autumn enjoyed her first time meeting Jack. But maybe she enjoyed eating her tights just as much… ha!
our cow is having a relaxing weekend.
hope you are having a relaxing weekend too!
Our rabbit Jack has been ‘off’ lately. Not sure what is going on but he has been pretty blah. We have checked him over and don’t see anything physically wrong with him but it still has us worried at times when he just lays out and is mopey.
So we gave him extra attention tonight and I snapped a few photos in the process.
Maybe he has seasonal affective disorder.
*Mellow Yellow= sad, depressed. No reference to the song. Price and I basically have our own language. Pay no attention.
On the first day of summer Price and I headed out for a walk, as previously blogged about HERE. What I did not include in that post were there lovely photos of a handsome/pretty little bun. Truthfully, I have no idea if it was a boy or girl. It had ears and a cute little tail so that is all that matters, but for the purpose of this post the rabbit will be male.
I absolutely love that any time Price sees a rabbit he points it out to me. When he spied this his arm went right in front of me, like how a mom snaps her arm out to guard her kid when she has to slam on the brakes. I was in la-la world enjoying the first day of summer and he broke that la-la moment to point out this little guy.
Once we (I) quieted down, Price started to snap photos of this Peter (obviously that is his name!). He flopped down in the dirt and rolled around. A rabbit that flops is very calm and happy so it was surprising for us to see this from a wild rabbit so close by.
We slowly edged our way closer to get back to our car while trying not to scare it. This took several minutes. This gave Price the perfect opportunity to take pictures and mosquitoes to attack two silent slowly moving warm blooded people.
Peter finally decided that we were just a bit to close to be laying down so he hopped up exposting that lovely white tail of his.
Peter finally decided to follow his bud and make a dash for the wooded area.
Hope you had a great weekend.
Since we’re getting the new place set up and I am too busy to post anything about cooking or scrapbooking, I leave you with these photos of a movie shoot for “Here Comes the Boom” I saw on 5.13 at Faneuil Hall.
Gotta get that make up touched up!
oo it’s Henry Winkler (aka The Fonz!!) and Salma Hayek!
And that is Kevin James. He looked so tan!
Hi Salma!!!!!
Kevin, Salma, and Henry getting some direction before the ‘Lights Camera Action!’ (really, they don’t say it like that)
Charice has now joined them for the shooting
They are celebrating something in this scene
In the crowd, I was standing next to a few girls talking about this being ‘the Mark Walberg movie’. They were refering to Ted. I listened for a bit as they talked about Mark and Mila shooting and blah blah blah. But enough was enough and I had to point out that standing right in front of them was Salma and not Mila. Sorry but if you don’t know the difference than you can’t text your friends that Mila is looking good. Dumb.
This is the second movie I have seen shooting this spring while on my lunch break. It’s so much fun to watch it.

I have jsut started the tweets for House Rabbit Network (@rabbitnetwork). I’m really excited about volunteering with HRN this way since I could not longer manage the duties invovled with the hotline. This allows my schedule to be flexible, so I can schedule posts when i’m at my computer no matter if it’s 11pm or 6am… can’t really call people at that time!
Well long story short… I saw a tweet about this video come through from House Rabbit Society. I actually squeaked when I saw it. Price heard me and knew I was looking at/watching ‘something cute’. I watched it twice last night. It had about 11,000ish views before going to bed, as I post the link this morning it has over 96,000. People just love cute things!
So I had a whole blog post written up about Easter, what it means to me, it’s origins, how I was happy I was not bribed to go to church, how I spent the day, rabbits, how i think someone is a jerk for posting about ‘celebrating’ Easter by eating rabbit, and much more. I got to the end, proof read it, and then deleted the whole damn thing. I was just not in the mood to get preachy about religion, why giving rabbits as gifts is a bad idea, and eating rabbit. I’m too tired to go there.
Instead I will leave you with this:
Hope you had a great Easter!

As I have started before, I have 2 rabbits and I am a volunteer with House Rabbit Network. I adopted our first rabbit, Bunny, through a shelter and then when I felt it was right to get another I adopted Jack through HRN. I love them to peices, although they eat my books and Jack ate the buttons off the TV remote. Techniqually, all of tht stuff is boiled odwn to being my fault for leaving it without nibbling range for them. No matter what they do we love them to pieces.
In addition to the emails I get as a volunteer, I follow HRN on their facebook page for updates. Most of the status updates are fun with links to the blog and announcements about rabbits that have been with the org for a while are finally adopted. Sadly today’s update had to do with a case of 64 rabbits being seized from a trailer in Marboro NY. {video in the link} A woman had all of these rabbits in a trailer in unsanitary conditions and without food or water. At this point she is being charged with 64 counts of failure to provide proper sustenance under state agriculture and markets law.
I’m really hoping that I can help out in some way since some rabbits will be heading to HRN. At this point, nothing is too small… driving to pick up the rabbits in NY, donating some hay, pellets, cleaning cages, etc. As much as this horrible thing has happened I know that I can do something to right this wrong.
House Rabbit Network 781-431-1211 __________ Ulster County SPCA 845-331-5377Our rabbits are veggie eating machines so Price and I make countless trips to Haymarket and our local (affordable!) Asian food market for veggies. The rabbits love bok choy and cilantro, so we end up going to Super 88 often. Aside from veggies, Price and I get little treat every time we go. Things range from mochi cakes to chocolate filled koala things.
These were our goodies from tonight…
Pumpkin Pocky… perfect for the autumn season.
Ritz Cracker Sandwiching Custards…. umm genius! Salty and sweet- the perfect snack combination.
Now I need to stop looking up other Japanese/Chinese snacks and go to bed so I get up for Thanksgiving!
I had these photos laying around for a while. I took them back in January when I had the rabbits outside in the snow. Part of me wanted to make a 2 page spread with a lot of embelishments but I decided to keep it rather simple. I fought myself about this page quite a bit. I played around with color selection, embelisments, and arrangement. Overall a simple grid would work best. I wanted to feature the rabbits so the close up’s on them to stand out. Additionally, I did not want to have multiple photo sizes- I don’t want to play favorites with them. ha.
I kept things simple since I wanted to emphasize them in the snow. The brightest thing in the photos was the harness so I started to pick colors that were similar to that and then kept going from where, while keeping in the came tonal family. I wanted to have some snowflakes on the page but did not want die cuts or stamps so I used a Hambly transperancy. I added a few colored gromets in a large (visual) triangle.
Stampin’ Up, Hambly, Cricut
I volunteer for the local rabbit rescue group, House Rabbit Network. Every Monday I do the calls that come in from the hotline. I love how they are generally adoptions. I do hate having to pass along the surrenders to the fantastic woman who has the patience to deal with them, because I would not at all. That being said I did my calls for tonight and felt this was a perfect time to share Mr. July with you. He is a very adorable rabbit who loves food, laying around, trying to dig to china on the hardwood floors, flopping over, eating more food, doing binkies, laying down, being groomed, destroying books, and eating more. What he loves most are raisins. Really funny to see him freak once the box of raisins makes its appearance.
This is one of my favorite photos of Jack. This is Jack in his element. He loves to lounge around, but it is quite rare for it to be on the sofa. So that of course makes it more special.
So why exactly am I calling him Mr. July?
It’s because he is in the 2011 House Rabbit Network Calendar!!!!!!!! I hate to push things on people but I can’t resist this. So I encourage any pet/rabbit lover to get a calendar or to even gift one to someone. This will truly help a great cause. HRN is a great organization that I love to help out. There are so many rabbits in the foster home system now, and all of these rabbits could use your help for health care, supplies, and food.
If you don’t want a calendar, you can still help out with donations. Or even donate to your local rescue, since they all really need the help.
(Thanks, I’m done now being all beggy and preachy)
Yesterday I woke up earlier than usual so I had enough time to let the rabbits out for a long time. Usually the rabbits are slow in the mornings but Jack decided he was ready to be out and play. Bunny had other plans. While he was trying to get her to play he was jumping on and off the sofa, digging into the sofa pillows, jumping on and over the pillow he knocked on the floor, jumping into and over Bunny, and doing binkies*. After all of this nonstop action he decided he was tired, so he flopped down on the sofa and leaned against a pillow to rest. I just could not resist sharing!
FYI- Binkies are a way that rabbits express they are happy. They will either jump and spin in the air from a complete stand still (what Bunny does) or they will hop around and do them. The video shows you what they look like. This is just some random rabbit, not Jack.
