goodbye little friend

   Today marks a sad, sad day in my little apartment.
   The moment occurred a few months back when I was neck deep in finals week stress and was thisclose to drowning my sorrows in too many chocolate chip banana bread muffins and iced coffees. One sunny morning, I whipped open my drapes to find this peaceful scene:


   A baby bunny! Outside my window! Nibbling on pieces of new grass and hopping hither and thither. I literally watched it for fifteen minutes, a ridiculous yet ecstatic smile plastered on my weary face. I took probably 29 pictures of it from various angles trying to capture the moment forever in case my little visitor was just stopping by for a quick hello.
   But alas! I soon found that he set up house underneath this big pine tree right outside my window. Thus I got the pleasure of seeing my new bestie every single day!
   Not only that, but I also discovered he had a sibling! Another baby bunny! TWO BABY BUNNIES.
   I was on Cloud Nine. I literally looked forward to the next morning so I could open up my drapes and greet my cute little pals. They slowly got bigger and my lawn slowly got…dead-er…so the visits became less frequent, but they still appeared every now and then I’m sure just to improve my day.

   Well, it was awesome while it lasted. 

   As I left my driveway on my bike to head to work this morning, I saw my little friend lying motionless on the side of the road.
   No more bunny visits for me. I hope he finds a nice, green yard to nibble in bunny heaven. Thank you for improving my mood, calming me down, and keeping me company during the past few months.
