This morning I stopped to let a bunny cross the road. He sat up, took a long look at me, then hopped away into a field. He wasn’t worried…nor was he in any particular hurry. It was such a sweet little moment, and made me think of our trip to England this past spring and a day we spent in the countryside, in Hampshire, with painter Aldo Galli, exploring the beautiful (and very real) area known as Watership Down. Aldo created all of the new illustrations in the 40th anniversary edition of the beloved novel named after the same and — lucky for us — has become a friend. Mike and I took only a few photos that day (we were just too busy taking it all in), but Aldo recently sent us some more, this time featuring the big, beautiful rabbits that still inhabit the area, captured during one of the many walks he regularly takes on the Down.
We think the rabbits there have long since accepted him as one of their own.

One of the best parts of summertime is when our neighbor Barbara’s honey comes in. And this year’s batch – harvested from a wild hive they found and moved to their farm – is even better than the last!

Michelle’s horse Libbie (“Liberty Bell”), a 4-year-old Belgian-Thoroughbred cross, moved in today for the summer and everyone was so happy to see her!
