Seven years ago I wrote about seeing a jackrabbit stretch the way dogs do. It happened again this week but this time I got pics.

This is this year's resident jackrabbit, the same one whose pic graced this page a week ago. The image changes with mouseover.

The weather has turned warm and a jackrabbit has settled on a shady spot near my house to lounge during the daytime. I wasn't seeing as many jacks as usual over the last couple years and I'm happy that they're coming back.

Writing fiction doesn't come easily for me. I have a hard time even getting started.

And yet every now and then I have a dream like a short story with colorful characters, foreshadowing, and something of a narrative arc.
