Lately no one has commented on the rabbit or rabbits that hop through our back yard at night. I have written about them<\/a> before. At first the kids really had to work at convincing me that we had rabbits. Now I’m a little obsessed with them – well, Easter is coming.<\/p>\n

I think a lot about fictional rabbits. The white rabbit from Alice in Wonderland, who is always worried about being late, often comes to mind. Chase a white rabbit and god knows where you will end up.<\/p>\n

My husband reminded me of the Bunnicula series – several novels for young people about a vampire rabbit that sucks the juice out of vegetables. I love the title of one of the books – “The Celery Stalks at Midnight.”<\/p>\n

Then there is the slightly more adult – Roger Rabbit – the main character from a fantasy comedy film that my eldest watched all the time.<\/p>\n

Going back further there was Harvey the invisible rabbit, who has obviously made a come back because he’s on FB<\/a> and Twitter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

The Easter bunny has been around since 1682. He is linked to Spring\/Easter as a fertility symbol along with the ubiquitous egg. Did you know that female rabbits can be impregnated with a second litter while still carrying the first!!!<\/p>\n

If you carry a rabbit’s foot for good luck, make sure it is:<\/p>\n
