I especially enjoy times when I see animals playing and interacting with each other - it is most often cute and sometimes very funny.<br />The rabbit stew you prepared for your hubby looks delicious, our rabbits are nearly big enough for the pot and Mr.B is looking forward to not only rabbit stew but also braised rabbit and rabbit & rice casserole.<br />I am glad you've shared your experience with the vegan diet this week. I think it would be beneficial for most folks to consume an all raw fruit and vegetable diet several weeks each year.<br />When I read about your foliage but not much fruit on your strawberry plants, like Dee, I too thought it may be caused by an excess of nitrogen. I hope you can figure out the cause and enjoy an abundance of fresh strawberries this summer.<br />Also, your son has undertaken quite the task. How proud you must be of his ambition and skill level.<br />Blessings to you and yours, <br />Mrs.BMrs. B, a very peculiar personhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03579160731517930694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-743532158600929042.post-24637145137580246882015-11-02T12:47:46.672+10:302015-11-02T12:47:46.672+10:30Thanks Tania.
