another birthday … for a bunny

Have you ever seen a bunny eating a cake?

Now you have!

It was Alistair’s 8th birthday on Sunday. A ‘cake’ was made, birthday songs were sung and Alistair chowed down on some of his favourite foods.

The cake was made of bunny kibbles mixed with banana and layered with brussels sprouts greens on a bed of hay topped with a coriander flower. These are foods that Alistair will escape out the back door into the garden for or try to steal from your hand. His favourite foods all in one giant pile of goodness.

Clean up time

Alistair does have some manners though and cleaned himself up once he was finished eating. If something is that delicious it really does make sense to dive in face first and think about propriety once it is all over.

On to the garden. The echinacea has been doing splendidly and has been providing much sustenance for the bees in terms of food but also shelter. The little bumbles hang under the petals at night for a safe place to snooze.

My knitting didn’t progress very much over the long weekend as it was depressingly humid. I did finish one Liv sleeve and am finally pushing to finish an old sock project. The second diagonal cross rib sock heel has been turned. I am happy I picked these up again, the colour is one of my favourites.

I hope you had a lovely weekend!
