Weekend Wonder: Peter Cottontail


The journal quilt for this week commemorates our grandchildren's weekend "sleep over." A cute rabbit that my neighbor Sarah spotted eating her lettuce, eggplant and cucumber leaves, stayed around to meet Hannah and Erika. David, only one, was not here to see the rabbit before and after breakfast pancakes. The children stood quietly as bunny munched away. Bunny was not afraid. All was quiet.

The children left out a carrot which disappeared and I frequently saw him under my flowers inside our fence. He seems too little to be out alone. Farley, our dog, spotted him much earlier, we now realize, and regularly checks sites where sighted. Leaves are still disappearing but bunny is more circumspect. I have not spotted him today. Just checked. Neighbor Lloyd has put a cello playing frog in his garden as a scarecrow. I do hope the dots call up cottontails rather than snow and I find a carrot appropriate to the quilt.

  1. Love the journal quilt and its fabrics! I guess the gardening fabrics are coordinates of the Peter Rabbit one? And definitely see how the polka dots can be cottontails! And the photograph of the bunny--just too precious! Many neighbors have spotted bunnies here in our new neighborhood, but so far, not I. I did see an occasional one at the old house, and Kathy and family have a regular visitor at their house in CA. Of course, the children thought he might be a child of the Easter Bunny!

  2. Grrr! Whenever I am typing a comment and stop to click on the photo for a better look, I loose the comment. Dern. The quilt and the bunny are darling. Peter Rabbit used to be my favorite story as a pre-schooler, but I insisted that Mother change the ending to reward the adventurous bunny for his efforts. I love the radishes and the trowel fabric, too.
