Blue Bunny Vegetables

Hello friends!

This past week we had an awesome streak of wicked nice weather here, we got to do so much walking and enjoying the spring weather. There’s so much special stuff about spring time. Mentally, it’s a refresher because things are growing, the days are getting longer, and there’s just more life it feels like. Even a rainy day isn’t as much of a challenge as when it’s bitter cold and rainy like it is in the winter. Bring on the nice weather!

One thing that made me a little sad is this damn blue chemical they added to the pond in our complex. The stuff looks awful for the poor animals! The pond we have on the property teems with life every year, we’ve got families of turtles, frogs, ducks, bait fish and even a family of muskrats! It’s pretty important to the local ecology and last year they kept bringing in new water pumps to make a little water feature. We get that, it’s cool, but they have never put nasty chemicals in it until this spring. Pretty upsetting but appearance matters more to people instead of the environment. Worst part about it too is the president of the condo association lives in a prime unit right on the corner of the pond so she dictates and spends our money on frivolous things like that. Ah well, rant over. The little inlet there on the right side of the picture is one of the muskrat dens. A few years ago there was a family of 5 of them! I think they are either having babies right now and mummy is tied up with babes or they moved on. We’ve only seen one so far this year.

Today we were all out on a nice walk after @cmplxty was done with work and saw lots of bunnies zipping around. This one here was a brave little bugger! I hope he doesn’t end up getting into trouble trusting people like he did. Most see you 30 feet away and dart. We were less than 10 and he stood his ground. That grass was worth coming to blows over it seems!

Had another great score of veggies this week from our box. The local farm near us has also been getting some great carrots and radishes so we stocked up on all kinds of delicious treats. The little one has been eating carrots or peppers or cucumbers with hummus almost every day now so it’s good to get him to eat lots of fresh stuff. He also loves apples. That same farm has huge stockpiles of them (given that their main business is apples) for a heck of a lot cheaper than the big stores do. Score another one for an awesome small business!

This was a fun little creation I made with the veggies. Keep love in your heart and mind and you’ll come out of this ok! Just because things that we normally did before may not be as accessible or easy to do doesn’t mean we sit glum and upset. We are going to find other ways to stay active, engaged and spend time with ourselves and our loved ones. No depressing vibes here!

Here’s that family of turtles before they poisoned the water! There’s a little brook nearby with a tunnel that leads out, hopefully they relocate out of the gross blue chemical crap to clean water! They love to sit in the sun though, the pond has excellent sun exposure so I can’t blame them.

With love and positivity.

Thanks! It should be, house work tomorrow (painting, sanding, repairs) and then it's off for a nice drive on Sunday to see some close friends.

Thank you for commenting, I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

You're welcome. Commenting on other people's posts is the only way to ensure they comment on mine. Some do, and some never do, but I see it as critical to ongoing relationships. If people don't engage they will be forgotten about.

Enjoy your weekend.
