Rascally Rabbit

Someone cut five of my little daffodils. I blame the rabbit. 

I mixed cleaning with going shopping for plants so it could be a balanced day. There were many upright hellebores for sale. The wildflowers I wanted weren't available though so I bought them online. 

I noticed some Lonicera sempervirens that were bigger than in my garden. Then I went home and noticed I no longer have Lonicera sempervirens (a native honeysuckle). Supposedly rabbits don't eat it.


You know what rabbits really don't like to eat? Vinca.

Next weekend I'll go buy new honeysuckle. 

I think we've picked a new, second Japanese Maple - Summer Gold. It should be hardy and pretty and exactly the right size. It is Kate approved. It will also be too big for the rabbit to eat. 

Members of the British band Clash have given the go-ahead to Ukrainian musicians to turn their 1979 hit “London Calling” into a resistance anthem. The Clash title refers to BBC reports during World War II that began with the greeting: “London Calling.”
