In our neighborhood at least, there's a big cottontail rabbit population explosion this year. In the past week it hasn't been a shock to see 6 or 7 rabbits kicking around our back yard, from babies to mature adults.

Of course, bunny abundance this year means something else next year. Math equations!

THEY WILL DESTROY!

Because you have to admit they're pretty, even when they're in your yard.

Mellow about yellow: We love those spectacular sweeps of yellow in the parks by the lake this May. Not only the daffodils, but the dandelions. After all, the only reason we call one of these Eurasian species a weed and the other a garden plant is because the dandelions annoy us by growing where we want only grass. The Chicago Park District has decided the annoyance is not worth spreading toxic chemicals and downright brags about its dandelions in a news release: "The sight of dandelions indicates grass that is healthy and safe for all park patrons to play on." Take that attitude about your own dandelions and you'll save yourself a ton of work. If you just can't stand it, hand-pull them from a small lawn.

Sometimes you can see the "ant" in people. Today is garage sale day in our neighborhood, and lots of neighbors have stuff out that they're trying to sell. Dozens of SUVs, trucks, vans going by all the time, checking out the merchandise.

If you open your garage door, and then go in the house to get some stuff to put in your car, you're likely to see a line of people walking up your driveway. At least I did.
