Sleeping

A very important part of a rabbit's life is sleep, they sleep, nap and dream during much of afternoon. Waking if necessary. Rabbits are diurnal, meaning they are most active in the mornings and evenings. At this warren there can be activities in the very wee hours, but never without a nap break or at least a deep meditation. If humans spent more time sleeping and dreaming the world would be in a lot less trouble than it is.

Tsunami Relief Print Progress

Sydney 05/01/2011 wishes everyone a happy happy May Day,

may all the workers of the world unite as they jump the Beltane fire.

Colored pencil rubbing of the woodblocks (these are NOT the colors I'm going to use in the print) of print for Tsunami Relief Project, see blocks below.

The paper size for this project was a given 15 by 10 inches, which is bit bigger than I am truly comfortable with, but I think I can get used to it, I'll practice with some lower grade paper. Practice is a magical thing, even if you think you aren't making any progress suddenly one day you are doing it, or at least have improved. The driveway at my house requires backing straight out carefully for about six car lengths. When I first moved in I had a terrible time keeping straight and had to re-calibrate, as it were, once or twice with every backing. Now I don't think twice about it. This project requires an edition of at least 31, which is feeling like a lot. On the other hand, in comparison to getting the raging reactors under control, it seems like a small thing indeed. Although the Fukushima Nuclear Plant has dropped out of mainstream news it is still a huge problem and continues to emit radiation and radioactive isotopes into the environment. As of 4/28 the situation according to the International Atomic Energy Agency was still serious. It is hard to tell extent of the contamination, there are many opinions so it is difficult to decide whom to trust. Bad news is not always true and visa versa, but I am sure that the cry of mayday, mayday, is not out of place.

A Prize

Today in the mail the prize we won in a drawing from Lavender Rabbit arrived. A delightful leaping bunny necklace, Spring Hare to be exact, which Amelia volunteered to model as a sort of head piece, such as a rabbit might wear to a royal wedding if a rabbit were invited. I wanted to post a better picture of the charming item but camera batteries gave out (you can see a better photo at Lavender Rabbit blog) Lavender Rabbit kindly included a bag of Simple Rewards Veggie treats for our warren. 4 Buns are grateful (crunch, crunch). You can visit Lavender Rabbit the store here and the blog here. Go to the store, it's an Etsy shop, there's lots of bunny related jewelry items and buy something, no need to be jealous of my Spring Hare. We send a shout out to the talented Dot, the bun who chooses the winner of the drawing, thanks Dot, that bag of carrots will be arriving any day now.

Hidden Ears.

Twist Pose.

Head Rest.

Popular

Laying next to the water bowls is a very popular activity. I am not sure if the nearness of water is desirable or if it is some sort of power play, or both. I do know that the water bowls have to be secured with a bungee cord or they will be spilled during the shenanigans segment of the daily activities.

Dainty Feet

Although a rabbit's feet can't really be dainty when they are so big, dainty is as dainty does.

We send our heart felt condolences to Shell and Sir Harrington on the passing of their dearly beloved Sugie (tears pouring from our eyes like twin rivers).

Answers

The soft white bellies pictured in the Under post were, to wit, Tyler periscoping and Amelia with paws on the fence.

Harriet may not have a white belly, but she is assuredly the softest bunny of the bunch.

Sad

Today, 04/18/2011 we were so sad to to learn that one of our friends, Freckles, has gone to the Rainbow Bridge. She was a queen of her kind, fierce, brave, intelligent and creative, and she was a marvelous writer. She will be sorely missed 'round the world. Binky free and often, Freckles.
