It was my pleasure. Besides, I was flummoxed trying to figure out what plant the bunny was hiding in.

I have to make one more post about that picture. My hubby is an avid gardener and he loves onions. I always look forward to the crop he produces because the resulting onions are huge and delicious! To see that tiny rabbit hiding among them was hilarious - to me at least! The rabbit couldn't have been more than a 4-5 weeks old. :smile:

You have some of the key ingredients for a rabbit stew :evilgrin:

On a lighter note, what do you get if you cross a rabbit and an onion?

Judging from the size of the onions, that has to be a tiny wabbit.

Also it looks like there are two of them, sitting side by side, in the photo.

Is the wabbit behaving while it is visiting your veggie patch?

Also, I forgot to mention, those onions look scrumptious.

What type are they?

My house sits on an acre of land and for some reason having a green thumb was not in the contract with my maker.

My thumbs are just opposable!

The only thing green that grows on my land is grass (the green kind) which has to be mowed many times in the warmer weather.

Today the only thing growing out there is about two inches of snow. So far! . (Ratz... I hate snow. Soooooooo much.) :sad:

The wabbit doesn't bother the veggies but he does like to chew on our trees and young bushes which is irritating. We have to put up guards around trees to keep mr. wabbit from girdling the trees and killing them. Usually, the bushes, which often are trimmed to the ground by him - will regenerate but it is a struggle getting those bushes to reach any decent size.

Hubby grows various varieties of onions. I think the one mr. wabbit was next to in the pic was a walla walla - a very mild white onion that we use for sandwiches, etc. :yum: Hubby also plants the following varieties of onions: Candy, Big Daddy & Copra so we have a supply for the winter. I can't remember the last time I had to purchase onions from the grocery store.

When will spring come? Not soon enough for us! We both are not snow birds any longer. It was fun when we were younger but age has a way of changing perspective about snow. :grin: To off set the glum, we have begun new seedlings for spring planting so we are ever hopeful that the time will come when we can shed our coats, and begin the planting season again! :yep: :clapping:

:whisper: BTW, we are going to enjoy French Onion Soup for lunch! :laugh:

I am in total harmony with your assessment of snow and Winter tho we continue to provide feast for our snowbirds. Our bun-buns chew the tops off my budding tulips and daffodils to the extent that we've had the last few years w/o the normal beautiful array under the maple tree. To offset this, we set out carrots/celery, and other veggies in proximity to these particular bulbs--they don't bother any of the other ones--and even planted red clover to give them a steady supply of their dietary delights. There is more than one way to outsmart Peter Rabbit hehe.....

Does it have rye bread with Gruyere cheese??? I remember going to my fav pub down in Toledo just to have their french onion soup. It always burnt my rooftop but was the most delicious blending of consommé and vidalia onions....Enjoy your "soup"

I'm afraid it isn't anything quite that exotic. I like to toast a thick slice of crusty French bread, slab butter on it, put it into the bottom of the bowl, put some provolone cheese on top of the bread and then put the very hot soup on top of both items so the bread soaks up the soup and the cheese melts. That's yummy enough for me.
