Northerners who are seeing more rabbits this year are seeing the Eastern Cottontail spread into the territory of the New England Cottontail. Its actually kind of sad. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrUrGXlq15k
Lots of bunnies this year too, but mostly due to having no hurricanes last year. You see very few after hurricanes that dump a lot of rain, so many of the rabbits must drown and it then takes 2 years for their numbers to come back up. I'll take the extra bunnies and no storms!
That’s so funny, eld. :D
Sue, what a cutie!
No rabbits here due to neighborhood cats. We had lots at our last house.
What about the Crate and Barrel Virage. My minimalist’s heart finds it very pleasing and it gets good reviews for comfort. Maybe the ”arms” arent defined enough?
Oh, this is nice too
In Maine, we eat hot dogs rolls which are sliced on the top. The ”side sliced” rolls are available. I dont know anyone who buys them.
I'm stll trying to figure out the distinction. I grew up in NYC , now live in Pa, and it sems whatever hotdog buns I've purchased are what I expected.
Can anyone tell me what kind I likely gravitate to? The growing up in NYC ( Brooklynto be more precise) may be the clue needed.
This is all new to me.
I tried them, but did not like the top slit. Will go back to side cut. Not enough room for everything that I like with the hot dog.
Thank you for all the comments. I didnt get a chance to take another picture yesterday and today is foggy and the room is in shadow, so another bad lighting day. However , I will confess RE the wading bird wallpaper the comments about its colors being off for the floor/room echoed my exact concern.
The problem is I want whimsy.
I could use the Charleston Mist, it would look very nice, I would be done, but I wouldnt be ”in love” This is one of those ”do I need great, or good enough“ quandaries.
There is also a question of scale. Someone mentioned liking the birds because of the larger scale. The room has zero large walls. One wall is the door and the stall shower. There is a roughly 4 inch wide stripe of wall outside the shower. There is the window wall you see in the photo. The wall the toilet is on, is a half wall that becomes the ceiling eave, then there is the sink wall, which will have a mirror and has an existing built in shelf which is painted. All this to say, with a large scale, I am concerned there will be no whole images.
I think I am going to look more. In other words, back down the rabbit hole.😄
@Sueb20 I have a sample of that paper! It goes back to my scale concern, with that paper not only are the individual birds large, there is a lot of open space There would be few full birds.
Here are some things I find of interest(links below the pictures)

I am ordering a sample of the mermaids. They have whimsy, and more color!
I like both papers, but, think they may be too cutesy for a powder room.
I notice there are a few tones of green in the bathroom. Find a paper to include them>
Aren't you in Maine? I'm somewhat of a traditionalist and I wouldn't use a tropical or color-saturated paper just because a powder room allows you to be bold. It's a Maine powder room.
I like the idea of a colored background rather than a cream background, like the blue-gray paper Emily posted. I like how the creamy white flowers pick up the color of the vanity and window trim while the background matches the floor tile. I wouldn't use that particular paper however.
On the flipside of Shuggie, which I agree was dismal, but compelling, I just finished The Road to Tenderhearts by Annie Harnett. What a romp! So fun!
An earlier comment by another says the audio book is too long. The book does look like a doorstop sized book but it is a very fast read.
My comment on The Calamity Club being too long had more to do with that for me, there was a long stretch of story that could have been cut. (i.e., I was bored). But obviously that's me.
@sas95 Thanks for clarification on your ’too long’ Calamity Club. I do agree that some parts had maybe too much detail but I tend to skim over parts of books that seem to me to be a drag on any story. That’s harder to do IMO with an audio book.
I have som broccoli that got left unharvested for too long, because we were away camping. Lat night half of it became broccoli meatballs, tonight the remainder will become Jane Brody’s Curried Broccoli Soup. Its a great quick recipe if you have never tried it.

@lucillle yes if mashing yellow skin potatoes I generally mash the skins right in.
@DLM2000-GW I will have to try adding chicken sometime! I haven’t made the slaw in a while, now I’m wanting it.
As for grocery stores, there are 2 in my little town, I mostly use 1. We do have a few local produce markets and farm stands. I love those! My main produce market has a weekly truck come from Florida during the winter. Friends with a farm just recently opened the cutest little store on their property! Fresh eggs, organic coffee,local honey and jellies, etc. and bedt of all, she makes sourdough bread and some bakery type items! i love sourdough bread!!
There is an Aldis in one of the big cities near me but I’ve only been there a couple of times and it was just kind of meh. Could have been that particular store.
DLM, I do not know about Aldi’s location requirements, but its business model allows it to operate in lower-income urban neighborhoods, at least here in Chicago, that otherwise wouldn’t have access to grocery stores. They far exceed even Walmart stores.
