Too Many Bunnies!

Eric and I went for a jog (read:fast walk) today and saw roughly...oh...six dozen rabbits along the Menomonee River Parkway. It was a little shocking, because the dumb things weren't even afraid of us. We even went so far as to leap off the trail every now and again to keep them on their toes. It actually made me feel pretty good though, because I am still feeling a little sad from an incident earlier this year where a neighborhood cat made off with the baby bunny that was living under our living room window. I know it is nature's way, but it is still upsetting to see the little bunny that you have watched frolicking and growing up dangling helplessly from a cat's jaws. It made me a little sick for a while.

Speaking of a little sick, we had our second straight day of BLTs today. The tomatoes are ripening at a pretty steady rate of about two or three a day. I am not sick of them yet, but yesterday's BLT was awesome while today's sandwich was just good. The law of diminishing returns says tomorrow's will be okay, Fridays will be so-so and by Saturday I will refuse to eat it. Solution? Have hamburgers tomorrow. We can still put tomatoes on those, right? Problem solved. Cold logic wins again.

Damn that Cold Logic, always puting on airs. I remeber the days when Cold Logic wouldn't dare step out of the shadow of his older brother, Warm Logic.

You know, it's very tasty to brush the tomatoes with olive oil and sprinkle them with bread crumbs, then grill them for about 2min on each side.

PS - You guys really should have been growing tomacco.

Ruth, you will lose your affection for rabbits the moment they start visiting your flowers and vegetables as part of their daily routine, and you will begin begging your husband to do something. Eric, Uncle Pat has several methods. Peggy

Tomacco! I should have thought of that! All we need are some tobacco seeds and plutonium.....
