Day 39: Wedding Trees and the Anniversary Bunny

Today is seventeen years since my husband and I got married.  We were treated with a visit by one of our neighbourhood hares.  We put out birdseed in our front yard for the birds.  We get chickadees, sparrows, blackbirds, finches, bluejays, magpies and crows.  Along with the birds, the bunnies come and munch on the birdseed.  We can watch the critter action out our kitchen window.  

There is a calm that bleeds in to our house when the bunnies come by.  We call it Bunny Flow.  Our town has a lot of hares that can be seen on occasion.  There are so many tracks in the snow in our yard that would indicate alot of traffic.  The most we've seen in our yard at one time has been four hares.  

Sometimes they fight for their place at the plate.  Some just wait for an open spot.  Whatever energy they bring, we just sit and soak it in.  

The trees were planted the year we got married.  We got them as seedlings that year and I planted them in the summer.  It is strengthening to watch the growth over the years.  The more the trees grow, the more encouragement we feel.  It is a visual picture of our life together.  

Both are a connection to nature for us.  That is so vital for both of us.  Humanity is only complete when we embrace nature and the world around us.
