Digging

We can only guess, really, why Rabbits do what they do. We Two-Legged People watch and notice what they do.

"Oh," the Mo'o perked up, "you folks pay 'tention!"

"That's right, that's right on a Saturday night," Tutu Wahine held up her right-hand for an up-high five and a wiggle signature. It was good to be up close and personal, again. The months of The Virus caused a big stir-and-separate action. Life was different now, but the Mo'o would learn this as she grew. Paying attention was just exactly right!

Learning about the Rabbits on the Bunny Campground was the Mo'o's long distant story time. The hand slap was a virtual one. The two tutu lived across the ocean. Visits were done thanks to the laptops and tablets.

Lately, the Rabbits were very busy digging.

"Why do Rabbits dig, Tutu?" The Mo'o looked carefully at the pictures that came onto the screen.

"Sometimes I see Purpza digging and pulling at the grass roots. He chews them up."

"Maybe that's like carrots, or kalo to Rabbits." It made sense to the Mo'o. Carrots were delicious, but it was kalo that was the most favorite food.

"The roots not as plump as carrots or kalo. But I think you're right. Rabbits like variety."

The Mo'o liked the sound of that word. She tried it out, "VARIATY"

"Thanks, Tutu. My new word for today, is 'variaty' ... Have fun today, Tutu. I love you." FACETIME was pretty cool. Not as good as being together, but close. And that was fine. One day things could change again. The Old Woman hoped for that.

The Rainbow Connection

Hello "Little Frog," This story is growing but stopping sometime, because other stories are going on at the same time, and your Tutus forget how to connect one piece of the story with another. While we are remembering how the story wants to be told, I thought, maybe we could just: Stick in a song and video of "The Rainbow Connection" sung by Kermit, The Frog. Then, there's a picture of Tutu Pete and your Daddy the last time your Daddy was visiting us here. When your Daddy visited, we watched kites flying and dancing to the music of Kermit singing "The Rainbow Connection." For because it feels good to connect, I'm putting this here and sending it along to your Mommy and Daddy. Maybe they can play the YouTube for you while you swim comfortable in the Rainbow Connection." ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿงก Two Tutus

Moved from the Bunny Camp

 Good morning dear Little Frog. Your Two Tutus have moved from the campground where we lived with our rabbit, bunny and hare friends. We felt sad to leave our friends. This story started when we learned you were starting to grow in your private ocean.  We made friends with a fine brown rabbit we called Purpza, and wrote about him. Having a friend like him, and all the other rabbits  was the greatest of experiences. I hope you get to know animal friends like this. We packed up all our ukana and cleaned up all the little and big bits of stuff that we had around our wagon home, and also packed up the sunflowers that have been growing on the picnic table all summer. That's one of the first sunflowers to bust out like the bright sun, in the picture above. Tutu Pete and I are now living at Camp Bamboo, a place in the woods with lots of trees, and friends named Jude, Steph and Dan and four goats named Quartz (the great-tutu), Queen Anne (the tutu), Cookie (the man goat) and a li...

Changes and noodling

"Hey, look at that belly!" That's what Tutu Pete was saying. Dark spots were covering the brown fur on the bunny's opu. "Wow wee zow wee. Purpza is changing, big time," I said. But then, I kept looking and watched Purpza move from under the table. Ha, ha. The joke was on us. That bunny was not Purpza. "There are lots of bunnies, rabbits and hares (not so many hares) on the campground. Baby bunnies start moving from their safe nests onto the open field once they are ... about as big as Tutu Pete's hand." "Tutu?" The mo'o had a look of concentration. "Yes honey." I said. "Rabbits and bunnies are like the same?" "Yeah, they are. Same same." "And hairs?" "Ah, now that's a good one. Hares are different, kinda like ... hum. You know what Tutu Pete looks like, right. He's tall. Long, and I'm short. I'm rounder. I'm browner. Well, a hare is like a r...
