Rabbits

No, I do not have an infestation of rabbits. I have had some rabbits in my yard but that is not what this first part of the blog is about.

After having nice conversation tonight about rabbits I got to thinking about the difference between a rabbit and a jack rabbit. No one seemed to know the answer. Does one hop faster than the other. Do they look different? Is one furrier than the other? So random I know. But, nonetheless, it peaked my interest so I thought I would investigate.

Here is what I found:
jack rabbit - any of various large hares having very long hind legs and long ears.
rab·bit- any of several soft-furred, large-eared, rodentlike burrowing mammals having a divided upper lip and long hind legs.

A divided upper lip? What is that? Does one have a soft white tail that looks like a cotton ball? I think that is a cotton tail rabbit. I looked that one up and found nothing concrete. So, which rabbits do we have in our neighborhoods?

I think we might have both. The main difference seems to be the long ears since they both have long hind legs. Who knows. Who cares, right? All I know is that I like rabbits and I love the ones with long ears so I must prefer the jack rabbit to the regular run of the mill rabbits. I would never have one as a pet again. I had a holland lop ear for a few years and that dang bunny hopped and pooped everywhere and I don't do poop!

Off of random conversations. On to the most important thing - my man.
His tree trunks have now gone from redwoods to ficus trees. We are making progress. He starts his liquid diet tomorrow. He was bored all day today as we were gone. Hobie was sad, too!

Tomorrow brings another full day with church, ice skating and home group. Our family always loves Sundays!

The boys had great games today and Zach is at JM's house. Jax got to play with his teammates at the Bora's house. He had so much fun! Nate got to go to JT'S house tonight and Nate had a great time there! Pizza for all and Jax even got to swim!

A shout out to BW, JW, ER. TR, SB, MW, LW who made my evening laughable! Next time we can meet at our house so Gary can be a part of the festivities and conversation!

Have a great evening! Hopefully you are all not reading this right now on a Saturday night and you are actually out doing something fun!

I thank God for all of our friends and family! You are all treasured!

Love,
