Pointless Post

So, Saturday was my husband's birthday and my in-laws took us all out to dinner.  As we were leaving the restaurant, I see this:



...and this...



Okay, okay, okay... so for those of you that live in areas where wildlife is common, this is a head tilt moment. I get it. But when you live in the desert like I do... well, jackrabbits are a reason for celebration!  There were actually three of them hippity-hopping all over behind the restaurant.  I think they were getting together with the Mama quail and her babies that my husband and kids spotted while I was chasing down the jackrabbits (which weren't actually all that afraid of me either).

What can I say, I'm an animal loving idiot.  I kept hoping that my husband would get some pictures of the bighorn sheep out near where he works, but he hasn't seen any lately.

And while I have you, my Mother's Day gifts picked out by my husband and kids:



Because they know what I like.  HAH.

LOL! A couple of years ago while driving through either Colorado or Wyoming we stopped for a food break at a truck stop and I bought a little toy jackalope. I'd never heard of them before that. He lived in my bunk until the end of tour when he mysteriously disappeared. I must have been living amongst thieves. Grr.

Exactly! Delicious, practical presents always trump expensive things in my mind. :D

I love that you bought a jackalope! Sucks that some loser stole him though. :(

Pretty much my feelings, too. :)
