The CK Daily – Reading & Rabbits
Good morning and Happy Wednesday!
We’ve almost reached the end of another month (can you believe it?!), and I’m feeling a bit behind in my goal to read 25 books this year. I had planned to read at least two books every month, but have only read 3 so far this year. With that, it’s time to kick it into gear. This last book I read took me quite some time because I couldn’t get into it. I probably should have put it aside and picked up a new book, but once I was committed to it, I had to finish it. It’s been a busy couple of months, but I’m determined to catch up and make more time for reading in the coming months.
Despite falling behind on my reading goal, I’m enjoying the arrival of spring weather. The warmer temperatures and longer days have been so nice. I love seeing the trees and flowers blooming, and hearing the birds chirping in the morning and also rabbits! When we moved into our home last year, we got the chance to meet the previous owner and before we moved in he said “I hope you like rabbits.” We always wondered why he said this because we didn’t see a single one for months, but in this past month, we’ve seen tons! We have a hill behind our house that is probably where they have built a home. The challenge now is keeping them out of our garden beds and convincing our dogs that they are not the enemy!
Anyways, I hope you have a wonderful week!
