Sorry things are a little messy around Randall Rabbit's home. Things seem to take on a ragged look in the winter months, don't you think? I was on my way down to feed him. If you look closely, you can see poppy through the wire fence.
awww, here we are...

The little veranda I had been building around Randall's house, Poppy saw as the perfect spot to sit and watch the deer at the end of the dam. He and Randall keep each other company.
Seems Randall sees the deer first and signals to Poppy by thumping loudly. Late yesterday, Poppy texted me to Look out the living room window. There were eight deer at the end of the dam.
Taking a break. Apple peels are his favorite treat...
Randall sure is a sweetie pie. I missed the perfect opportunity to adopt a companion for him. Makes me sad to think about it. The Orange County Animal Services, about an hour's drive from here, had a large grey and white female, "spayed" rabbit that needed a home. I was ecstatic. This was late afternoon on Friday before the last big craft show. They are closed on Sunday, so I promised to be there Monday morning. Well, someone came and adopted her on Saturday. :(
Oh well, maybe it was for the best. So, while Randall helps Poppy hunt Smokey keeps me company...

Can't resist picking him up for a hug. He is so warm and cuddly these cold winter days...
His look says he had rather have the soft cushion back, so I got back to my work.
Well friends, just a little Randall and Smokey post. I have been in the Christmas decorating mood and hopefully will be back with a bit of a Christmas post. I actually got around to making an ice box fruit cake yesterday. Yum! So easy and so delicious!
Rian, hope you can visit and see our big boy, Randall. :)
Love, Henny
Oh yes, almost forgot, "Home home in the leaves...
Henny, love seeing the "pets" which does include Poppy, lol. Hope he got one of those 8. Or come here and get one of our 20 or more! Get your Smokey cuddles when you can catch him sitting still. And to think Christmas is just 2 weeks away. Hope you see your daughters then.
ReplyDeleteIt's too funny that Randall lets Poppy know when a deer is close by. What a dear bunny he is, and I love Smokey, too. Blessings for a wonderful Christmas, Henny!
ReplyDeleteI love that Randall and Poppy are keeping each other company out there. So nice to see the deer out there. Hope Poppy got one of them.
ReplyDeleteHere we are home, home in the snow! It's been snowing for a few days, it's 14 degrees and everything is closed. So, I'm cozy in the house, doing some Christmas baking.
How sweet. I love a good pet post! So did Poppy get a deer for the freezer while sitting there? I wish my husband had when he went hunting but maybe next time. I simply love your little "Home, home in the leaves".
ReplyDeleteGrace & Peace,
Pam
I laughed out loud at Randall alerting Poppy as to when there were deer close by. What a great pair. I'm sorry that you didn't get a companion for him but maybe another bunny will show up. He's so cute. And so is Smokie, but I missed seeing Eli and Ellie. :-)
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas my friend!
Blessings and love,
Betsy
Sorry you missed out on getting that grey and white female bunny. Apple pieces/peel are a big favourite with my bunny too. Miss Kitty went AWOL for 24 hours and had us worried. Today she wandered back very nonchalantly as if to say Can't a girl go visiting without worrying the family? GM
ReplyDeleteRandall is part deer hunter too! So cute I just love his ears! Leaves come and go maybe a wind will pile them up for you or chase them into the woods:)
ReplyDeleteLove that bunny of yours, Melba, with the big ears. He's so cute. Of course your Smokey is too. Maybe I should send some snow down your way? But not our temps...it is -11 here tonight. Brrr Please say a prayer for me, I have a detached retina....need eye surgery next Thursday. Hope you and poppy have a great Christmas there. Love you.
ReplyDeleteDiane, I am so sorry that you have to have eye surgery. I certainly will say a prayer for you and keep you in my prayers. 11 degrees!! I'm trying to brace myself for the 29 here this morning. You need to move down here...next door even. :) Love you!!
DeleteNot long now....! Nice to see everything coming together,
ReplyDeleteSmokey and Randall look all geared up for Christmas, but,
l think you should try and get a friend for Randall in the new
year, bunny rabbits don't like being on there own...He'd love
to share his apple peels with a friend...Bless! :O).

Hi Henny- Sure like Randall and Smokey- great to have them. KEV.
ReplyDeleteOh too bad you missed out on the rabbit. Maybe another will come along.
ReplyDeleteHOPEFULLY HE WAS ABLE TO GET ONE OF THOSE 8 DEER. RANDALL AND SMOKEY ARE SO CUTE ! YOU NEED TO BE SURE AND SHOW US YOUR CHRISTMAS DECOR...I KNOW IT LOOKS SO WARM AND FESTIVE AROUND THERE.
ReplyDeleteGun shots must be a bit startling for Randle with those big ears.
ReplyDeleteRandall and Smokey are both cute as can be. I miss my kit cat so much. It's almost been two years now and I can't being myself to get another cat. Losing them is so painful. On a brighter note, I hope you have a happy Christmas holiday. This year seems happier to me than the last few. I am thankful for that, even if it took me awhile to get in the mood.
ReplyDeleteRandall reminds me of Bailey, a rabbit we had. The girls would let her out in the yard and if some noise or something scared her. She would run to them and get in one of their laps. They would be sitting on the ground...not in a chair.
ReplyDeleteHenny, thanks for the Randall/Smokey post! They are both such good looking critters! I laughed at the expression on Smokey's face. I think he was rolling his eyes... and I'm wondering, does Randall let you pet or cuddle him?
ReplyDeleteLove that Randall, those ears, precious!
ReplyDeleteThe look on Smoky's face! Too funny! Randall is such a pretty boy!
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweet and comforting looking home in the leaves! Your Randal rabbit is so sweet looking! Maybe you can find him a friend later on. Smokey looks adorable! Wishing you a merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteHello Henny! Happy Holidays! Isn't Randall the most gorgeous rabbit ever! You look so sweet with Smoky, what a love. Hope we can get your ice box fruit cake recipe, hint hint. Any way, hope you have a visit from all your children and grandchildren and then a lot of rest! XO Terry
