"It's a perfect place! Look at all of the vegetables and fruit that grow RIGHT HERE! Cantaloupe, strawberries, yellow squash, zucchini, swiss chard. It'll be like living right next door to the grocery!" Mrs. Bunny exclaimed.

Trust me, she was wrong.

Isaac, our white dog, loves bunnies. He used to have a bunny brother when he lived in Georgia. And he will always love bunnies.

Sunday afternoon, we were walking around the garden and Isaac had what I thought was a frog. Just a few inches long and a dark color. When we went over to take it from him, it was a tiny, baby bunny.

Great. Now we have to find where she made her nest. Because you know there are more babies somewhere!

I told my love that if I were a bunny-mom, I'd make my house right by the garden. Lots of great stuff to eat there. And sure enough, that's where we found two more tiny babies.

We stuffed them back down in their hole and put up a little fence for them. Here's hoping she comes back soon. She should have considered the neighbors.

Michele

My first girlfriend. Tonight, on my way home from the gym it all came rushing back to me.

With the windows rolled down and the A/C on, the mix of cool and warm air blew against my face. I was whisked back to my senior year of high school. Riding around in her jeep on Friday nights. Saying we were going to the football game, but just driving instead. To nowhere. With no place to be. No one wanting anything. No one needing anything. Just the two of us.

Summer nights, freedom and youth.

Tell me about yours.....

Sometimes I Need An Explosion

I know that there's only a handful of people that will get that. Nod their heads in agreement.

Sometimes I desire something completely different. Explosively different. A change of pace. A wild-hair trip to see an old friend. A long night out drinking tequila with someone who can really carry on a great conversation.

Occasionally I want some strange, but not sex, just different experiences. Something I've never done before. Seen before. Something that's a rarity in my hands.

I'd like to fly out West to see my friend Jules. Hang out with her and see the lightening across the desert sky.

Or get in the car and drive to Chicago to see Dana and Toosie. I bet the three of us could stir up some fun. Swing by Arkansas and pick up Jay on the way.

I just get these wild hairs and I need an outlet. I need to do something to aleviate that stress that builds up. We used to move across the sea to a New World. But now everything seems so damn tame.

What I really need is to go to China with my uncle. THAT would fix it.

And I wonder if anyone else ever feels this way.....

What A Sweet Thing To Say

One of our straight friends came to our last party with our gay friends. Nellie brought her two kids who have always been around lots of different types of people, including two gay guy friends of hers. She had explained to them that there are lots of different kinds of love and that their love was a little different, but still the same.

Nellie told me today about the trip home after our party. Her daughter said, "You know how everybody's different, Mom?" Then she hesitated.

"Yes, is there something you want to say? Just say it."

"Well, I could just tell at that party that everybody loved everybody. There was lots of love there."

And that's exactly how I want my house to feel.

My Favorite Place To Be

...is sitting on our Sunset Porch with a glass of red wine watching Isaac and Trace bunny hunt. Not that they ever get to leave the porch. Well, sometimes they stand up. But that's it. It's merely for sport, not for blood.

I drink my red, my Love drinks her white and the pups hunt imaginary bunnies.

Wishing you a wonderful, relaxing weekend!

The Doctor Said....

A friend threatened to call my Momma if I didn't go to the doctor today. So, I had to go.

I'd had a fever since last Wednesday afternoon. Most of the time over 100, but hey....it was fluctuating and the internets said that was GOOD!

But this morning, my friend just kept ON and ON. Nag. Nag. Nag. And frankly, I was starting to get worried, too.

Doc said that I had a migraine and the intestinal flu. The tail end of the flu (pardon the pun). My temperature is finally back to normal. And the rest of me is getting back to normal.

You know there will be some hot babes around here VERY soon!
