How to wrangle a bunny

When you are in need of some bunny-wrangling, call me.
I am superb at catching them. Say, your bunny has been chased around the house by the dog and dodges for cover beneath the bed...for instance...

• Step 1. Obtain carrot and a string of about three feet in length. Any color you choose.
• Step 2. Cut two small notches in sides of carrot, and tie string to sit in these notches(this is so it won't move)
• 3. Lower carrot/string combo behind the headboard.
• 4. Wait(This may take a while. Bunnies are notoriously patient.).
• 5. Lure the bunny towards the outer area of the bed by calmly calling, "Heere Bunny, niiice bunny".
• 6. When bunny gets to that edge, swiftly capture him.

Disclaimer: Bunny will undoubtably be very freaked. He will hold the carrot between his teeth for the next five minutes while you attempt to sooth him.

The Adventures Of Kate

So it has been below freezing all week. With a mixture of moisture means everything is either mushy mud, or frozen ice.
Today's high is 30 degrees. Yesterdays low was 14. So in other words, its cold.
Well, being the ever early-planner-of-things, I waited until the very last day of hay to decide, "Huh..I think I need hay.."
So I went to get the keys for my Ford Excursion--no keys to be found. So then I went outside to see if they were in the truck, and what do ya know? The door was stuck shut. Completely frozen shut.
Unsure of what to do, I asked my mother. Her response? "Take the Buick."
....
Let it be know this is a 1993 Buick LeSabre CAR.
So, the back windshield was frozen over, and the passenger side window was iced, so any time I needed to turn, I had to roll that window down to check. Did you know there are four turns between my place and the place where we store the hay?
So anyways, after slipping around on the road four miles over there, pull into The Hay Lady's drive and get out.

I popped the trunk to learn it was full of babe heads(these are the mannequin heads that hairdressers in training practice on. My sister just graduated cosmetology school.). So I can just imagine what she's seeing from inside her house. 

There's a kid here. She's getting out of this awful ugly car.

Hm..Whats that? ARE THOSE HUMAN HEADS?

She's holding them by the hair! And tossing them in the front seat. 

Okay okay, now she's going around back...And into the barn...

Now she's hefting a bale of hay. Hehe, she's not very strong.

Looks so silly..

Oh, what's she doing now? Is she putting hay...into her car trunk?

Sure 'nuff.

So then I slammed the trunk shut and got into the car(after capturing these pictures of course).
And slipped my way home.

So, let it be a lesson learned, when you need hay, never ever take your Buick, because neighbors will think you are crazy.

 

Sign Language and Other things

When you want to learn Sign Language, don't be fooled.
Its called sign LANGUAGE for a reason. It's not just something you pick up in a day or two-I've been learning it for months now and I still barely know enough to start a conversation. But something that has helped tremendously was Signing Savvy. It's been such a huge help. So if you are interested in learning ASL then you definitely need;

• ASL Pro
• Signing Savvy
• LifePrint

 And I suggest finding a tutor or friend willing to help you. I, on the other hand, love a challenge and didn't bother to find anyone. Which has been difficult and discouraging at times, but if you ever want to finish this and be fluent, you need to stick to it.

I plan to get very fluent in ASL and then begin witnessing to the Deaf. I have always loved being able to converse through emotions and using your hands is the perfect way to tell The Gospel.


I know that this is off subject from my usual HA postings, but the sky is crying profusely today and it's supposed to get worse tonight; the weatherman is saying up to 8" of snow. So I'm getting out my coveralls, mud boots and camera and going to go any play in the rain tomorrow.

I'll let you know later.

As Promised

As promised, a picture of Mish.

Some things...

As you have noticed, I have not posted.
Mainly because there has not been anything to post about.
Except at this moment I am eating a FlufferNutter. But that's a different story.
So, I will simply talk about my new fish.
Mishter Mish the Fish. He's the newest member at Highland. I will get some pictures on tomorrow.
He's a goldfish about the length of half my thumb. He's gold(DUH) with two itty-bitty black spots.

We went to two different pet stores today, looking at their chameleons and bearded dragons and all the things that make me go "OOH!" or "MOM!" whilst I point and hop up and down. (Note; snakes are not among these, but tortoises and turtles are).
We saw Dwarf hamsters and Guinea Pigs and Parrots and a Parakeet even whistled at me.
We saw a Shih-Tzu that was so bouncy and playful she about took my arm off. She was so adorable. I wanted to take her home.
Now I am thinking I want to work in a pet shop.


Oh well, I shall add it to the list of things I need to do!
