My appreciation to each of you for your encouraging comments. It's always gratifying to know that something we write actually works for others. Thank you so much!
I really enjoyed the wonderful juxtaposition of the mind and nature, and it’s quickness of words matched the essence of our minds and rabbits. Both deep and humorous.
My apologies for not getting back to this sooner. I certainly appreciate all your comments and am delighted the juxtaposition works for everyone. Not tell WHERE those thoughts and rabbits will go next. <smile>
Thanks again!
Absolutely lovely, Susan!
Extremely well done.
