1) Drama in the morning! Nu and Max discovered some grey, eyeless, blobby newborns by the picnic table on their morning walk. We googled to learn that they were rabbit kits. We're not sure where the mama is, so we did as the article suggested and covered the kits in a tic-tac-toe pattern of sticks. If the pattern remains undisturbed in 24 hours, it means the mama did not/could not return to them and they'll need to be taken to an animal clinic. I hope these babies survive the next 24 hours--they seem so vulnerable and exposed.
2) Another delivery: the new side gate arrived! Not only is it not made of rotting wood, but it is also bright red and looks so good against our blueberry-colored house.
3) LB and I had a date in Old Town for some thrifting, boutique browsing, a stroll on the river walk, and brunch. I got some cheeky stickers and had dinner for brunch.
4) It's the day of the MSU horticultural plant sale. We thought we were too late for it, realized we weren't, turned around, and brought back two cartloads of plants. I planted all afternoon long.
5) The neighbors are starting a community garden at the end of our cul-de-sac. I took some lilies from my MSU horticultural haul. I went in the dress and sandals I wore to brunch with LB, so I just stood there decoratively for a while taking pictures and airily suggesting where people could plant things. LOL.6) I looked for tickets to the musical Six online to find they were all sold out. And then miraculously BOL called to pass on their tickets as they didn't feel well. But I was bone weary, had just taken a leisurely bath, and was looking forward to eating leftovers and relaxing--so sadly, I decided to pass them up. I wonder if I will kick myself for this decision tomorrow.

That sounds like busy day. I can see why you passed up the show.
Keep us updated on the rabbit kits.
Wow, what a crazy busy day! I'm glad you googled what to do about the bunnies. Sometimes the mamas will leave them in search for food or whatever, so one wouldn't want to move them!
I like the image of you in your dress, just pointing to where things should be planted!
Nice.
Steph and Nicole--Sadly the kits didn't make it.
Poor bunnies. They may have been dropped by a surprised predator.
Perhaps you could be the garden mascot. LOL
A community garden! How fun!
One of the many things I learned from walking a dog regularly is the number of baby birds who do not survive. I don't know if I ever even THOUGHT about how many eggs actually produced birds that make it to adulthood, but as a dog owner, I now think that number has to be VERY LOW.
Nance--The mascot! LOL
Engie--Nu said something similar about "that's how life is in the wild." But these guys were in my yard, I felt responsible.
