    ReplyDelete
  23. Zoe is a doll! Is that her Trick or Treat face? lol I love the ball field where you two can enjoy walking.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Fun post. Nice area you have to take your walks. Enjoyed both your art pieces and Zoe does look a bit "peeved" in that shot.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Love your bright eyed bunny. I think our weather is on the change too although daytime temperatures are still high for the time of year.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Zoe looks more like she's laughing. She got me laughing with her. Love your haiku. :-)

    ReplyDelete
  29. But she's so cute when she's angry! I love rabbits and would have popped that one into my digital photo album (since I couldn't sketch him as you did). This is the nice time of year when you and Zoe get to walk on the sand -- I remember that from before. And what a great view you have.
