Mr. Bunny Revisited

I'm back home from the convention, and resuming my back-yard practice. I haven't practiced with Mr. Bunny for a long time.

My husband looked out the window last night around 6:15 and told me the bunny was out there, so I right quick changed and headed out, hoping he'd still be there.

I always do some warm-ups before beginning the form, to loosen up spine, hips, knees, shoulders, and what-not. Mr. Bunny seemed to be watching me while nibbling some yummy grass. I did a deep lunge, right leg out front with a deeply bent knee, left leg lengthened way out to the back, to stretch my left hip flexor. Long, deep streatch. Aaaahh.

Just then Mr. Bunny did a deep cat stretch, front paws way out front, back paws way out back. It was as if he was thinking, "Wow! That's a good idea! I think I'll do that!"

He stayed with me for the entire practice. This made me happy.

I was wondering why I haven't seen him for a month or two, and I think I figured it out. During the longest days of summer, I practiced at twilight, which was 8:30 or 9. And Mr. Bunny was there. As the summer wore on, I've been sticking with the 8:30 or 9 practice time, but recently it's been full dark.

But I think Mr. Bunny's been hanging out in our backyard at twilight, whatever time that might be. He doesn't have a watch in his waistcoat pocket, like the rabbit in Alice in Wonderland (at least, not as far as I can see).
