Bunny, Hawk and Plates

Tuesday night just as Bill let Romeo-dog out for a quick pee, I saw a huge bunny hop out from under the bush in the small yard. He disappeared under our gate. Yesterday I saw a hawk in the tree outside my bedroom window. Was he waiting for the bunny? I noticed that he had a dead mouse in his clutches. He flew over to the nest in the tree, his nest which is also in our yard.

Romeo was eager for another walk so at around 2PM we went out the front door all the way to Precious Blood Cemetery and then on the way back we crossed the street. I spotted a broken teacup in a milk crate being thrown out but then I saw beautiful antique Japanese hand painted milk pitcher and underneath were more Japanese hand painted dessert plates. I picked them out and carried them home. By this time I was only 8 houses away. After I washed them and spread them out on the kitchen counter I said to my husband, They look like they lived here all along. They do! Why is that? He asked. They are the same vintage as our kitchen."
