Because my boss can be pretty cool sometimes, I didn’t have to go to work today. I had a long long list of things I could/should do, and I had great plans to do them. And then I didn’t. Well, I did a few of them. Actually, I did nine out of nineteen, and to be fair to me, some of those things were meant for later in the weekend. Okay, I did plenty today. But I didn’t run and I didn’t go to the grocery store and I kept my out-of-the-house errands to a minimum because Roxy had a “welcome home” seizure last night before midnight and another one this morning, shortly before noon. She’s fine now, but somewhat groggy (we’re under instructions to give her extra medicine after seizures to help prevent clusters – clearly didn’t work last night – and that makes her woozy), so I thought it would be best if I stayed close to home.
One of the few errands I did run today took me to Home Depot. John needed grass seed, and while I was there, I bought a rosemary plant and an oregano plant ’cause MY FACE POTS WERE DELIVERED! Yay! And I already have a basil plant, so I’ll put all three into my new pots and put them…somewhere…to grow. The deck, maybe? I could put them on a plant stand on the front porch (if I had a plant stand. I think I just added that to my shopping list for the weekend.). I definitely can’t put them anywhere in the yard. The rabbits will get them. Like they’ve already eaten the three (maybe it was four) black-eyed susan plants that came back this year. I need plants rabbits don’t like.

Just grow some awesome weeds in your yard and that will keep the bunnies entertained. They just munch away on dandelion greens and never bother our veggie garden.

You could grow a dandelion bed for the bunnies. Trouble is, when they go to seed, they blow everywhere. Hmmm. But if you snipped the blooms before they go to seed, you should be ok!

Bunnies don’t like arugula. At least mine don’t. Or peas. They like everything else in my garden, but they leave those alone.

I like Lawrence Block, too. Well, I like the Burgler books. (Bernie Rhodenbar) I have not read any of his more poplar series.

I try to get rid of dandelions when I see them, but I might try arugula. Aesthetically, though, I think I need something kinda tall to replace the black-eyed susans.
So far I’ve read one of the Bernie Rhodenbarr books (loved it) and one of the Matthew Scudder books. The Scudder book was gritty and dark and disturbing. Very good, too, but not at all like the Burglar books.
You Stoo-pid Bun-nies!
We’ve only ever had success with catnip, weeds and an evil grapevine that continuously threatens to take over the world. Then the garden became the dog’s energy outlet (digdigdigdigdig) so we don’t worry about bunnies so much since there will never be anything there they wanna eat. Speaking of dogs, how lame are Roxie and Riley if they can’t even scare off a few rabbits? 🙂

Super lame.
You Stoo-pid Bun-nies!
They’d be forgiven if they could be trained to make me a sandwich…
