The sunflower seedlings had been doing well, then one day I noticed that many were given the 'Morticia Adams' treatment - they were beheaded! We didn't know what had eaten the flower tops. Yesterday afternoon, however, College Girl happened to look outdoors and see the guilty party. She grabbed a quick shot of the sunflower eating culprit - a baby cottontail!

Happy April, No Foolin'!
Hope you had a lovely weekend! Ours was quiet, restful and fun. At our house, Easter Bunny leaves clues regarding the whereabouts of College Girl's basket. What a clever Bunny he was to embellish her basket with two Kappa Alpha Theta symbols; twin stars and a cute little kite!
When we looked outside during breakfast we spotted this adorable baby cottontail - so tiny! He nibbled on grass and we nibbled on cinnamon coffee cake.
No April showers in the forecast this week, but I look forward to a few sometime this month.
Do you know how April Fool's Day got it's start?
The most popular theory alleges that the custom originated when King Charles IX reformed the
calendar, moving the start of the year from April 1 to January 1. People
who continued to celebrate New Years on April 1 were mocked and had
pranks played on them, thus initiating the custom of April 1st foolery.
College Girl and I hatched a perfect April Fool's joke for Handyman to find this morning. I can't wait to see his reaction - haha!
