An alarm clock with rabbits

Obviously this isn't an alarm clock or rabbit, but I forgot to post it. Our tree was so happy this spring it did this. I think it's a mulberry in bloom. I was rather excited! It's never ever done a thing except grow green leaves.


Matthew is my alarm clock. He fairly consistently wakes me up every morning between 7 and 8. This is plenty early enough for me. So unless we have to be out of the house early, I don't use an alarm clock anymore. This morning my alarm clock crawled up on my bed with his tiger blanket and 2 of the 3 rabbits he has received for Easter. First a spider was coming and we had to hid under the covers. Then I got green rabbit (a fancy one with a bow around it's neck) and Matthew got brown rabbit (a cottontail with a kerchief). Brown rabbit went looking for food over the side of the bed to bring back to green rabbit. What do you suppose he found? Purple green beans. I was blown away and very pleased. He has really taken to the idea of thinking about new veggies. I can't wait for the seeds to come. We ordered ours from Bakers Creek, Seed Savers, and Select Seeds, all fabulous heirloom companies. I realized I'd put up links to the actual rules page for the kinderGARDENS contest, but not posts for week 1 and 2. If you'd like to read them here's week 1 and week 2.
