I love driving around or walking around the Highlands neighborhood of Louisville and seeing all the great houses, some majestic mansions full of "old money," some less fancy but not without their own unique richness and charm....
These are the bunnies that live outside our front door. They are always out there when we go out or come home... and though there are ample yards in our row of town homes, they only like ours! So I'm adopting them. They are a couple, who I've named Despereaux and Princess Pea after my new favorite kids movie. They seem very friendly and almost let us come up to them! Yesterday we witnessed what we can only assume is bunny mating... they were literally jumping up off the ground at each other and trying to kiss, I swear! I know it's common knowledge that bunnies hop, but I realized yesterday that you couldn't prove it by me, I've never actually seen one do it... Until now! I hope we have little baby bunnies soon... under our bush would be a good place to raise young I mentioned to the happy couple... we'll see if they take me up on that.
Oops, haven't blogged in a while. Like my friend the Ravenous Veg, I thought I'd keep up better! Well, a lot has happened since I last wrote... Rita the Ravenous Veg and her sister came to visit and we went to eat at lovely Louisville vegetarian friendly establishments, went shopping, touring the area that I work, the girls met the little girl and baby boy that I watch, we went to our local Heine Brother's coffee shop, and to Thunder Over Louisville, a HUGE fireworks show on the Ohio River that starts the KY Derby festivities every year. It is famed to one of the biggest fireworks shows in the US, and it's really fun to sit along the banks of the river and watch as they shoot fireworks off the bridge and barges in the middle of the river... It's quite amazing to watch!
