Silly Rabbit
Megan stopped by my house, saying, “Rob sent you a bunny,” which is not something you hear every day. I came downstairs to find a wonderful ceramic rabbit made in 1955 (the date is etched on the base):
He got it for $2 at a thrift store, knowing that it would both delight me and look perfect with the kitschy vintage animal planters on my balcony, and so it does:
Rob and I share a certain aesthetic appreciation. 🙂
I didn’t plan it, but somehow I ended up with all these cute old planters up there:
The top one is a little squirrel in a log, and underneath is another log with a saw, perfect for this area where logging is one of the biggest (legal) industries.
Here’s a look at the rest of the balcony:
It’s the perfect place to read and drink wine.
In addition to the rabbit, Megan also brought a plant called an anthurium. Lu bought it for my office, and said the heart-shaped flowers are to remind me that I’m loved. I wasted no time in bringing it to work, where it looks perfect with my filing cabinet garden:
I bought the sea urchin planter when Megan and I took that Saturday off together a couple of weeks ago. I love it! I brought the old vase on the right from home. I like my office garden. I have a real garden outside my window, where the courtyard is beautifully landscaped and Fred the hummingbird visits me every day.
A YEAR AGO: Things were pretty much the same, with me working all the time and Megan at Reggae on the River.

The bunny may not be to my taste but I love the sea urchin!
Everyone has their own choices of everything in life, and I happen to love people who like me don’t hesitate to be who they are and to love the things they do. Nothing wrong with being different as long as you enjoy who and what you believe and like, good for you Suzy, keep it up, it’s all different and nice.
