Happy March Equinox—or the beginning of Spring here in North America. My garden is just starting to show some green, and rabbits have begun appearing in my flower beds with alarming regularity. In praise of the rabbit and spring, here is a video of how to fold an origami rabbit (originally found on How about orange). The stamp to the left was issued by the Royal Mail in 2010. And lastly a wry poem my Mom sent me, by Kay Ryan, The Hinge of Spring
The jackrabbit is a mild herbivore
grazing the desert floor,
quietly abridging spring,
eating the color off everything
rampant-height or lower.
Rabbits are one of the things
coyotes are for. One quick scream,
a few quick thumps,
and a whole little area
shoots up blue and orange clumps.
I just love that poem!
