eves of beauty

we have absolutely had some gorgeous weather these april days and eves.

we spend as much time out of doors as we can.

dh and the boys have been working hard on building the duck coop.

it just needs chicken wire.... or should it be duck wire.

as many of you are aware....we have been having the highest pollen counts

around the country. tennessee is right up there.

it has been a difficult spring for me with my allergies...i feel sick every day.

still i am determined to enjoy...

i adore being outdoors.

whether it be to sit and talk with family/friends.

walking...bird watching...gardening...mowing....planting...

playing with the dogs....ducks....cats....bunnies.

taking photos of any or all the above.

the ducks sure are growing fast.

our beautiful renny out in the field.
he is loving the weather too.

our april sunsets have been spectacular.

the following...three different evenings.

i am so grateful for these beautiful eves of spring.
so full of life.

happy april.

tawny

we would like you to meet...tawny.

this is our precious new bunny.

buster brown is getting to know her.

a long time ago we had a bunny named treasure...she had been

abandoned by her mother and we got her when she was just three weeks old.

she only lived about a month or so.

abbey was heart~broken and has never forgotten treasure.

when we got our new bunny she wanted to name it something to do with treasure.

i suggested we look in the thesaurus. treasure:prized possession,

abundance, cache, cash, cherish, darling, fortune, money, jewel,

pride and joy, riches, treasure trove, value.

we kind of like cherish but we decide to look up other words.

treasure = riches, fortune, treasure trove.

after some conversation we look up gold: dark yellow, aurous, blonde,

caramel, flaxen, honeyed, straw, tan, tawny, wheat.

so abbey says i really like tawny. with her golden circles around the eyes and

a small line at her back...it fits....so tawny it is....to remind us of treasure who has gone on.

our tawny. ~photo by abbey~
