Bunny Cheeks


Gatto alerted me to this little guy outside the window. It was quite accommodating. There were several years with no bunnies, I don't know what happened, but I'm happy they are back.



Tabby comes in more now that it's getting cold. He has found his spot in the old rocker. It's a good place for some spa time and a nap. 


I drove yesterday for a third time in a couple of weeks. I picked up groceries at Aldi. I'm grateful to have one in the community as prices have continued to increase, at least I can buy groceries. It's easy for me to track because I do pick-up orders, which vary little, so I can look back at the prior orders.

The sun is shining, the coffee is hot. The simple pleasures of life.

I love watching cats give themselves a bath, very calming. I'm glad you're driving again, and bunnies (so sweet!).

Boud said...

Good for you with driving. I notice prices looking back in my misfits account, same idea. Produce has gone up on some items quite an increase.

Rita said...

More places still having pickups is one good aftereffect from Covid.
Yes! The simple pleasures of life...like watching a cat groom...or a bunny in the yard. Love it! :)

CheerfulMonk said...

It is a good year for bunnies, we have one that frequents our yard at home...he/she is on the security cameras every night!

Aldi is one of my go-to stores. I love ours. I didn't always. There was a time with a different manager when the store, I would not go. It was dirty beyond. Thankfully that manager is not there anymore.

Was there today for two sacks of lemons and a few other goodies. I find their prices good an the produce also good.

Glad you are out there driving. Freedom! Wonder what's going to happen with the election tonight.......

I actually went grocery shopping this week for the first time since September -- other than for milk and cereal and fresh veggies from the Farmer's Market.
I'm glad hubby isn't around, I could no longer afford the steaks he likes.
Driving! Awesome!
I'm going on a wee road trip today. You keep it up!

I can see that Tabby lives a most difficult life. When I see that afghan, I am reminded of my youth and my mother knitting squares to be part of the afghan that the women of the church were making for the missions.

Sandra said...

They are so methodical bout it, Pixie.

Sandra said...

It's helpful to have a record of cost available, Boud. There are some unnecessary items I don't buy anymore.

Sandra said...

Most grocery stores around here have pick-up, Rita. I'm grateful for it.

Sandra said...

Sometimes they are all we have, Cheerful!

I got to watch two youngsters play while they were growing up this year, Far Side. It's so cute.

Sandra said...

That was my experience at least a decade ago before one was build here. Kind of a shabby place. This one is very nice, Ivy. I can't get everything I want there but almost. Yes, the produce is good.

Sandra said...

I'm so happy Mamdani won, Lori!. St Paul Elected a Hmong woman as mayor. My hometown made me proud.

Sandra said...

Beef is crazy expensive, Val. I'm finding corners to cut. At least I have corners to cut unlike the 42 million without food aid. I hope you enjoyed you road trip in your new vehicle!

Sandra said...

Tabby is a part time barn cat who goes semi full time in the winter, AC. I see my beloved grandmother in it.

Barwitzki said...

A lovely cuddly blanket for Tabby... my hot coffee is in my cup right now... delicious. I love my coffee.
Hugs to you.

Sandra said...

So do I, Viola. It's a thing passed down through my maternal line. Tabby has claimed this space as his own.

What fun to have rabbits in your garden. And there's plenty of garden for them to romp around in.

Linda's Relaxing Lair said...

Beautiful and simple pleasures! I love watching animals! Thank you so much for sharing.

peppylady (Dora) said...

Things are quite expensive, but somehow I'm thankful I have a home paid for.

Sandra said...

There sure is, nick!

Sandra said...

You are welcome, Linda. Yesterday I was watching two mama turkeys wither almost grown turketts roaming the yard and paddock. They live in the woods to on the north of one paddock and do a long, daily walkabout.

Sandra said...

Yes and yes, Dora.
