And as a very special treat, here is a picture of the scariest bunny in our neighborhood who slaughtered everybody with her cuteness:
Her favorite Halloween treat was a lamb samosa. I never thought she’d want a very spicy samosa but she literally tore it out of my mouth and devoured more than a half.
Ah, Clarissa, you had to post a picture like this so late relative to this old man’s bedtime! This picture brings back so many images from my past: Images of tiny neighborhood children whom adult neighbors trusted to me to led their toddlers around dark Halloween rural Tennessee paths; the Presbyterian Church toddlers that I volunteered as a teenager to oversee during adult Church Hour because I found the sermons and the hymns totally boring; the half a dozen cousin children 10-to-15 years younger than I was who worshiped me as their “big cousin” before they grew up; and even my 42-year-old niece, who once repeatedly said, “I wish you lived with us, Uncle Dreidel,” and now never writes or communicates.
Decades ago, I chose the path I wanted to walk, totally on my own, never depending on, or assuming care for any other human being — and I stand by that choice, which has served me VERY well.
But now and then, a picture comes along that somehow punches me right in the gut, and (totally not your fault) you just posted one.
(Don’t worry about it — I’ll be back to the old Dreidel in the morning.)

This lovely little bunny couldn’t leave anybody indifferent. And you haven’t heard her speak. She slaughters.

Bunnies who eat lamb samosas are definitely not to be trifled with!

Adorable! So she doesn’t have N’s sweet tooth ?
(My dad would dip into my Halloween candy haul. He thought I wouldn’t notice.)

She never tried candy so she doesn’t know what it is. I gave her a pop tart without frosting today though and she was very taken with it.
