Duct tape fixes almost everything!
Let me tell you about a bunny named Notch.
Appearing out o f the blue four years ago, Notch hunkered under our car parked in the driveway. She arrived with a chunk taken out of her ear, so we named her Notch. She must be one tough cookie. As time went by I found her in my garden nibbling kale, cabbage, romaine ~ pretty much anything she could reach. I really do have enough to share with one bunny. I didn’t know where she spent her nights but from time to time I would see her scurry out of the chicken coop. One night I lifted the curtain where my hens lay their eggs and guess what? Notch had moved in. In the colder months she migrated to the hen’s roost and nestled in between them. I’d say she’s living a pretty good life and I thought she deserved to be captured in one of my cards :)
I always wanted hens …
It took me 9 years from the time I read Barbara Kingolver’s book Animal, Vegetable, Miracle to purchase my first chicks and I’ve never looked back.

Cards I’ve painted and sent just because
My mother taught me the importance of thank you notes and I’ve been a note sender ever since.
These days an email or text is convenient but why not spread the love and write a personal note with a pen? These could end up on someone’s fridge or in a frame!
