Pink Ears and Green Lizards

At sunrise there was a pink glow comming from a part of the woods where there in nothing pink. Gypsy and I could see it from our window. This called for a closer look with our ever present binoculars. What could it be? Gypsy and I had to know. The sun was shining through the pink ears of a very large cottontail rabbit. He was visiting our grain and corn field for his morning meal. What a great way to start the day. All it took was taking the time to look. That is why we came to the cabin. This is a day the Lord has given us, let us rejoice and be glad in it. What Mother Nature provides for us is the best. Oh, but wait. As I pulled back the sheets that still cover the two east windows at the cabin, I got a surprise. Ageko dropped to the window sill. This must be the little green lizard that has been pooping on the quilt on the bed in the loft. The loft is my guest room. Wanna come for a vist? I grabbed him and tossed him on the front porch. My guess is he may return to my guest room. So, if you want to come for a visit, better hurry. It's called beat the geko at the cabin. He was my first cabin guest. I hope the next guests can find the bathroom. If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away. Thoreau

Rabbits carry bird flu and should be shot on site. You could try poison oats, although that will eventually kill the coyote that eats the rabbit, then the wolverine that eats the coyote, then the bear that eats the wolverine, then the hunter that eats the bear, then the lunatic that shoots and eats the hunter.
