Carrots are an excellent source of antioxidant compounds, and the richest vegetable source of the pro-vitamin A carotenes. Carrots' antioxidant compounds help protect against cardiovascular disease and cancer and also promote good vision, especially night vision.

Rabbits are an excellent source of garden fertilizer and cuteness.   They make lovely pets, can mow your garden to bare earth, and can get rid of any electrical cords and mattress linings you no longer want.

So if you want an electrical cord-free home brimming with vitamin A carotenes, this is the charm for you.

It is available here and here.

Don't You Want Some Bunny to Love?

When the lettuce is super-size
And the carrots all up-rise



Don't you want some bunny to love?
Don't you need some bunny to love?
Wouldn't you love some bunny to love?
You better find some bunny to love.

 

When there are garden flowers to be fed
And the snow pea blooms are shed




Don't you want some bunny to love?
Don't you need some bunny to love?
Wouldn't you love some bunny to love?
You better find some bunny to love.



That nose, that bunny nose will twitch and twitch
Telling you to soil-enrich...



Don't you want some bunny to love?
Don't you need some bunny to love?
Wouldn't you love some bunny to love?
You better find some bunny to love.



Chomped greens filling flower beds
As Bunny eats all your cabbage heads.



Don't you want some bunny to love?
Don't you need some bunny to love?
Wouldn't you love some bunny to love?
You better find some bunny to love.

The Hare and the Elixir of Immortality

In both the Chinese and Japanese culture, the hare (Chinese, Tu; Japanese, Usagi) is sacred to the moon, where the Taoists believe it lives, mixing together the ingredients that form the elixir of life, or longevity.  

In the Chinese culture, the greatest desire is long life, which prolongs  enjoyment of this world's goods, and ensures receiving the respect paid to old age in a country governed by the maxims of Confucius. Longevity is therefore the first and greatest of the Woo Fuh or " Five Blessings." 

 Legend tells us that the rabbit's fur turns white at the age of 100, and blue at the age of 500.  

When the Chinese goddess Ch'ang-O drank too much of the magical elixir, she floated away to live on the moon, too light to return to earth.  

Year of the Rabbit charm can be found here.  Ch'ang-O can be found on the moon.

In a Rabbity Mood... or a Mabbity Rood

Runny Babbit lent to wunch
And heard the saitress way,
"We have some lovely stabbit rew --
Our Special for today."

~ Shel Silverstein

Here is a verse about rabbits
That doesn't mention their habits. 

Ogden Nash

delivering eggs
wanted, more rabbits for job
this works for me - you?

 ~ Grannyeri

 

Do not rely upon a rabbit's foot for luck.  After all, it didn't work out too well for the rabbit.  Did it?

 A sly rabbit will have three openings to its den.

~Chinese Proverb

 

What can I say?  I was in a rabbity mood... or a mabbity rood.  More mabbits here.
