(Bunnies and Sunshine)

Easter is coming up! And it’s a terrible time for pet store bunnies!

Rabbits are marketed as “easy”, short-lived, starter pets, especially during the Easter holidays, but that couldn’t be farther from the truth! A healthy, well cared for bunny can live just as long as the average cat or dog- 10-12 years!

What’s more, they have more complex needs than a cat or a dog. Rabbits are prey animals and do not behave or show affection in the same way as predators like cats and dogs; they don’t deal well with being outside-only animals; they can get sad if they’re on their own and don’t receive enough attention; and if they’re bought as a male and female couple, they can start reproducing from as early as 5-6 months of age, and they can carry multiple litters at the same time!

They have a specialised diet (NOT carrots!), need a specialised living area (unless you want all your things to get chewed up!), and they need specialised vets! Caring for them costs as much as caring for a dog!

They’re a big responsibility!

This Easter, Make Yours Chocolate!

I took my oldest GrandAngel to see this on Broadway with Bernadette Peters.  We both fell in love with her!  She was so gracious to her fans after the production.

I love the vibrant colors!

Maria Sibylla Merian and her daughters were pioneers of natural history illustration and entomology. Among other achievements, at age 52 Maria Sibylla sold most of her belongings and set sail for the Dutch colony of Suriname. That was in 1699.

Oh, my gosh!  I love this.  What a wonderful space in which to escape for a short time.

Let's Talk Trains

I have fond memories of my Mom taking me on the train from our home in Indiana to downtown Chicago.  Ever since, I have loved the sound of a train whistle.

I've taken my GrandGirls on train trips:  some long, some short.  Each time on a train I feel so relaxed and comfortable. 

This Saturday, May 12, 2012, Amtrak is celebrating trains by hosting National Train Day.  Check out this link to see where you can participate in fun activities for young and old, enjoy interactive exhibits and more:  http://www.simon.com/holidaypromo/mno.aspx

If you have a train story you would like to share with me, I'd love to hear it.  Please e-mail me at janesaunders@me.com

I look forward to hearing from you!
