It's just gotta be spring. Got my sleeping hours mixed up and was awake this morning at 2:30 but asleep again at 6 for a one-hour power nap.
Took another one-hour power nap late this afternoon. But Little Miss Molly "woofed" and scratched me awake when it was almost dark rearing to go on another half-mile trek.
As we were going up the walking track directly behind our house, I almost got jerked off my feet. I got a glimpse of a little white "ball" zooming across in front of us. Molly launched like a rocket. She had jumped one of the Community Rabbits (CR). It appeared to be a baby rabbit but could not tell for sure. It is the first rabbit we have seen in well over a year.
Tis a sure sign of spring. The first rabbit plus a variety of gnats, spiders, worms, ants and other "varmints" (as Snuffy Smith would call them)
Don't know how many "varmints" we will have to deal with this year but I suspect a lot because of the lack of real cold weather this winter. (See additional story below)
But all the varmints, including spiders are an important part of nature's ecosystem.
As of Sunday, I was 26,645 days old. To make me sound older, I reached an age of 639,480 hours. Howsomever, my pal, Little Miss Molly has reversed my aging process and I predict a year from now that I will be only 26,000 days old and will start growing hair again!
Life goes on...sometimes in reverse.
