to be honest i thought it was a vulture head!!! lol! i didnt see it was a rabbit until you said!
You are not alone Jill, twice I saw a bird and I had to look the 3rd time for a rabbit. I think it is because the ears are going on the back lol.

I just bring the little one to school, finally shorten school time and holidays are finished. I need holidays but I will wait for this summer. It is only Wednesday... Hope you all are doing great.
I totally understand the school grind. In my city the school is in session all year. They have a couple of weeks for summer and then it's off to the next grade. It's actually nice because they add the extra summer days throughout the year, so you always have breaks.

I love a good pile now and then
 
@kingranch2003 John you are often doing fishing? Never did hunting or fishing but end of the day I won't eat it.
I have many friends that catch and release fish. I also know some folks that hunt for sport or species management and donate the meat. I totally respect anyone's choices on what they choose to eat. Taking part in the sport really puts you in your place as a human and gives a person perspective in my opinion. If we take a potato from the ground, or a trout from the sea, it is the best way to eat.

I believe you, I have nothing against hunting (except if it is elephant, lion...) or fishing just never got opportunity or family/friend doing it. I am just difficult with food, not vegetarian by the way.

I have my own aversions to food as well. To take an animal from it's habitat to the table isn't for everyone. Even as a hunter/fisherman I respect that. My son is very thoughtful about his food as well, and that has made me see it in a completely different light.

I have nothing against hunting or fishing, hope I won't hurt anybody feeling. It is mouth taste issue, I can't eat seafood since before I was 2y old (family prefers seafood to meat), don't like bone or fat on meat but could eat a beef fillet every day.
