Of Bunnies and Blood
Morning, folks! I’ve two spring-like things to draw your attention to today. Nothing particularly heavy or consequential. Just light, airy, early April tidbits.
First up, New York Public Library is doing a wonderful 30 Days of Poetry feature where every day of the month a different staff member reads a selection from one of their favorite poems. Today’s reader? Myself! I take a piece out of my favorite poem by Ogden Nash “Don’t Cry, Darling, It’s Blood All Right”, the full text of which you can find on an old post of mine here. I explain in the recording why I’m fond of that particular bit of verse.
Second, about a year ago, when my sister was still creating her fabulous How To, How Hard, and How Much blog (sadly, no longer in operation) she decided to create bunny biscuits for Easter. The results were . . . fluffy. Yes, let’s call them fluffy.

Whenever Easter rolls around,I want to reread The Country Bunny and the Little Gold Shoes. How much better would the world be were it run by people who were “wise and kind and KNEW BETTER”? (italics mine!)
