October 1

I was taking some boxes out to the recycling bin late this afternoon when this bunny hopped into my path.

She seemed just as surprised to see me as I was to see her, so she quickly maneuvered to her right into our next door neighbor's yard. Then she positioned herself behind the fence where, presumably, I was out of view.

I peeped around the corner and spied her sitting there wiggling her little nose (and no doubt mulling her next move). And after a few seconds, she found a hole in the fence line and hopped out of sight.

Anyway, when I saw her, I immediately thought of Abby, who loves bunnies. (In fact, she occasionally sends us photos of the bunnies who apparently make their home on campus.) So today I'm grateful for an unexpected encounter that made me think of my one and only girl.
