i’ve tried bunnies twice… the first time maybe i was too young. he didn’t get out of his cage much. the second go round was sort of a rescue bunny which i named lobster. my parents have a friend who kept a pet rabbit outside for five years. the rabbit was free to come and go as he liked. i thought this was a good idea so i shacked lobster up in my mom’s chicken coop. he’d come back at night to get in the coop, and the next morning i’d let him out. my outside bunny didn’t last five years, only one. snow fell and fell and fell until everything was white. the first night lobster made it back, but the second night? i hope he mated with a wild rabbit. i did love lobster! i looked for lob-eared wild rabbits all spring. if you’re going to keep a bunny, i think this free method is the best.

My friends and family have been helping me remodel a house for almost two years – I’m still not living in it. Hopefully I’ll be in by summer time, and I’d like to enjoy a garden on the flat section of the roof. Eventually I’d like to put in a skylight, maybe a giant round window, to access the garden from inside the house. For now I’ll have to take a tall latter outside each time I go up there. I might be able to see the Cincinnati skyline; I’ll let you know when I find out!! I also thought maybe I could screen in a section of the roof and keep a peacock…. I saw this done in Mexico. I’ll stick to potted things for now.

My goal is to listen to at least one album from every artist voted onto the “50 Greatest Female Jazz Vocalists” list, which was compiled by some radio station that I’ve never heard. The list can be viewed at http://www.waer.org/50women.html.
