I knew bunnies and rabbits and hares we...Oh Hilary,<br />I knew bunnies and rabbits and hares were associated with Easter - I just thought it was a total fertility thing?<br /><br />My children so loved bunnies at Easter, they would try and purchase a stuffed one to add to the collection each year. Every counter top and buffet and chair was decorated with a bunny.<br /><br />Several years ago coinciding with the last child leaving for college, a group of emergency workers asked for donations of clean stuffed animals to give to children in trauma situations - like ambulance rides. We donated all but one of our bunnies - there were so many we were given a $500 charity credit on our income taxes. <br />Thanks for teaching us something new and fertile!Patriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00649391137077220495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6401528799218373095.post-56246823388768394922011-04-12T17:08:16.442+01:002011-04-12T17:08:16.442+01:00Hi Deborah .. thank you ..
