Hi Adrian -

Our escape if you will.  Some days we all just need a quiet place to go and count Jack Rabbits.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great afternoon.

Hi Debb -

Yep you're right we are blessed and we know it.  Just some days one needs to head away from cell phones and computers and enjoy the Jack Rabbits :)

Hope you can kick back and enjoy a relaxing afternoon.

Best regards from the Q

Hi Suzanne -

Indeed Jacks abound but with the huge growth of Albuquerque they're being pushed further west.  They are so cool to watch and it's a game to see who will or will not be camera shy!

Hope you enjoy a wonderful afternoon and best regards from the Q

Hi Rose -

Glad you dropped by in the Rain today.  Yes you're very right heading out in search of Mother Nature is an awesome way to unwind and rejuvenate ones self. 

Driving around up, down and all around must have been the thing to do back in the day.  I recall my folks packing all four of us kids the ole station wagon and heading out for those Sunday afternoon rides. Those were the good ole days ........

Enjoy your evening and best regards from the Q

Hi Teral -

Your comment brings a good laugh.  The local Sonic here knows us by name and our pup Dixie!  They don't even bother to ask if she can have a treat now.  They know she's wiggling in anticipation as we are for our milkshakes :)  Now that's quality time! 

Thanks for stopping by the Rain

Hi Roy -

Yes Jack Rabbits are quiet large.  In fact some are taller than our Mini Schnauzer we take along on our Mesa escapes.  Their ears grow to be very large and long and they're quicker than Forrest Gump when running :)

I hope you and Dolores have a restful night.

Hi Ms. Anna Banana -

Oh yes Dixie loves to go for rides in the truck and loves roaming the Mesa even more.  We have to keep a close eye on her for fear of a hungry Coyote snagging her up for a quick snack.

Up until last year we had a huge covey of Quail that grazed, pecked whatever you want to call it in our backyard.  We fed them birdseed and cornbread.  They loved it.  I think the largest covey we had was 27.  The males were so dominating and protective of their families.  They were very interesting as well as beautiful.  Good ole construction bulldozed down all the scrubs behind our home forcing the Quail to move on.  We miss them but treasure all the many photos and memories we have of them feeding as we sat on our patio enjoying their antics.

Have a great evening and best regards from the Q

Hi Toni -

I'll take Jack Rabbits any day over a Gator!  Ouch!  LOL.... Dixie pretty much is our child and thinks she has to go where and when we do.  I hope you enjoy a great day in and out of the Rain.

Best regards from the Q 

Hi Kristin -

Thanks for dropping by in the Rain this morning.  You're right Jack Rabbits have really long ears and their actually large in size too.  I've never heard of your game about counting horses and the white horse trumps all.  Oh the games we play :)

Make it a great first day of Fall and enjoy to the fullest.

Best regards from the Q
