Menagerie Report
Sep. 6th, 2005 11:15 amGorgeous morning here, and it not yet sixty degrees in the house, a bit cooler outdoors. Very damp, with dew hanging on the branches and making the grass sparkle in the slanting morning light.
Right after morning coffee, I typically go outside and check on the Orchard House bunny enclosure. Now, for reasons I've never really understood, every time I go to check on them the black one (Jet) jumps on the chestnut agouli (Amber) and begins humping away. Whatever message Jet is trying to send to me, I'm not receiving it, apparently. After verifying they have hay, water and pellets, I consider them good for the morning and carry on. I'll check on them a few more times during the day and once before bedtime to verify they haven't run out of food & water or figured out some new mischevious way to get out of their enclosure. So far, so good.
Then, through the Orchard Gate out to the Circle. Beautiful stuff. Some mornings there's fog lingering about in the circle, other times its so clear and sharp. Hard to say which I prefer, really. I wander about, sipping coffee, make sure nothing settled over the night, etc. I run through a quick LBRP (personalized), then head back to the house after a quick good morning to the Aradia shrine, which really needs more attention from me than its gotten. Poor Aradia, last in line after the spiral walk, bunny house and circle. Way past time to get creative and build something interesting for Her.
More coffee, a quick glucose check, breakfast and I'm ready to start my day.
