1. I bought a new lawnmower (!) and tonight while I was mowing the backyard, I found this: http://instagram.com/p/azZ_eMSjrv/
If you're too lazy to click on the link (even though it's worth it...), I'll tell you: a den of baby rabbits, in the middle of the lawn. And yes I mowed right over the spot just moments earlier.
They're adorable. Don't even have their eyes open yet. I probably ensured their demise by getting my human smell all over the rabbit fur that was covering them up. We shall see. I don't love having rabbits in my garden, but I do have a serious soft spot for rabbits (ask my mom what happened to the rabbit I had as a kid, and ask BFF Alissa why she calls me "little rabbit.") So for now this is fun, but it could turn traumatic soon.
Oh, and here are the older siblings of these little guys, spotted a few weeks back:
2. Watching the Spurs-Miami game -- Go Spurs Go! -- on my TV. But not in the basement. Upstairs! Never got around to blogging about this change because it wasn't really intentional. I just brought the TV up to the living room back in January so that me and some girlfriends could watch Downton Abbey on Sunday nights, and I never took it back down. I kind of like having it in the corner of the living room, at least for now. I might do something different with it down the road, like hanging it on the wall or putting in a different entertainment center. And I don't have cable, so it's not like I use it very often (I still watch 95% of my shows on my iPad or Mac via Hulu, Netflix of Xfinity Player).
3. And then, I got this awesome picture from fellow-blogger-BFF Kelli and her new bird, Tiko:
And it made me happy to trade stories about bunnies and birds and watch the Spurs game "together" via text message (we grew up in San Antonio together).
4. I have new next-door neighbors, and we totally do the whole "yelling thru screen windows" thing, so I made a racket about the baby rabbits and they came over to take a peek. Gotta love fun neighbors.
And at the end of a really hard day and a really long week, I'm feeling less far away from loved ones. Thank you bunnies & lawnmowers & instagram & iPhones.
