I just got the Christmas stuff put away and changed a load of laundry. That led to cleaning the kitty litter box and taking some litter out to the trash and then a reminder of the damage that our rabbits have done to us this winter. Just like the shrews I noted the day after the two foot snow dump our rabbits have had to deal with a lot of snow. When I piled up my elephantine snow I saw hundreds of rabbit turds. Little did I think about them being the remains of my foliage but the picture above shows the wasscal who stripped my &#8220;Burning Bush&#8221; of bark. I will cut it all down in Spring in hopes that new shoots will spring up. Yesterday I noticed that our cedar trees lower boughs were also badly nibbled having been pulled to the rabbit&#8217;s level by loads of snow. I hadn&#8217;t dug them out until yesterday. They too have taken a bad hit.<\/p>\n<p>&#8230; and those shrews! I assumed I&#8217;d mentioned them in the blog but just discovered that that was not the case. I did however, mention them in my Not Eudora column of <a href=\"http:\/\/duluthreader.com\/articles\/2019\/12\/05\/18949_the_reverie_of_a_busy_mind_at_4_am_december_3_2019\">December 3rd<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Next up french practice&#8230;&#8230; maybe followed by another post. I&#8217;ll add that while taking the kitty litter out I finally resolved just what book to write to save America. Its a challenge that&#8217;s been gnawing at me for two years. I hope to begin &#8230;.after french, one more blog post and who knows what other distractions.  BTW &#8211; Chevy Chase, Jerry Ford and the fall of Mainline Protestant Churches were what got me thinking about the book contents. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My fingers are itchy enough to tease with stuff that&#8217;s been on my mind but only of consequence only to me.
