Hi. I’m Hannah.
That’s right. I can tell that spring is coming because there are more birds in the yard now. The robins are back!! There is more sun in the afternoon. The flights of geese over the house seem to have stopped. There are THREE BIG FAT BUNNIES in my backyard!
These bunnies are really big! Mateo the CoalBear and I watch them every late afternoon when they come out into the yard to play. The CoalBear is chomping at the bit to chase them, but so far he hasn’t managed to escape from the catio. The bunnies are also eating the Mother of Cats lawn, but she doesn’t seem to care that much. She’s just happy to see some green grass after the long winter.
She stored the mouse in the catnip jar to make it smell good. I’ve been hogging it for myself because that dang CoalBear plays with all the chirpy toys and never, ever lets me have fun with the ping pong balls. He just acts like all the toys belong to him and I never get to play with anything anymore, so this mouse is mine! Besides, it doesn’t chirp, so he isn’t that interested in it, and he doesn’t like catnip.
I eat his tuna when he isn’t looking because he is a total toy hog. It’s only fair, right?
This is Hannah, signing off.
Notes from the Mother of Cats: That portly mouse is made from this pattern on Ravelry. I used same homespun yarn that the chicken is made from, and Hannah seems to be roughing up the mouse more and leaving poor HanPeck along.
I kind of think that this mouse looks like a pika. What do you think?
