The wife finally learned to stop asking why there was a bean bag on the window sill. They say everything happens for a reason. For me that reason is usually because I've made some bad decisions that I need to pay for.

I had to mellow out on that talk. When whacking garden interlopers last year with the vintage Mossberg Palamino (Western Auto Revelation) I spotted one in the carrots, and he saw me and froze. I pulled up and muttered, "Oh, look at the fear in your eyes cottontail. I love it, Lord help me I do love it so..." My daughter said, "Daddy, just shoot it. You're creeping me out."

Have a pretty good Bobcat population around here that I hunt/trap in the winter so I like having the bunny's around. Like the old trappers say, "find Rabbits, find Cats". I will however eat one or two each winter but other than that, wabbits get a pass.

This is what she brought me while I was out working in the garden this morning. I explained to her that killing bunnies on Easter was in very poor taste but I'm pretty sure it went in one ear and out the other.
