Cuddle

Safe and secure in Daddy's arms

Focus on the cute baby, ignore the grinning ogre.  Picture was taken by our friend Ilona... thanks for visiting us!

We're well into the fall season.  The leaves have changed colors and many have fallen.  It is getting cold!  Baby Bunny is nice and toasty warm though.  It's such a treat to cuddle up with her.

Yesterday, I heard a talk given by my colleague on global climate change due to human activity.  It was quite depressing.  The drastic weather patterns (severe thunderstorms and record snow falls) we've been experiencing have been primarily due to increase in temperature globally, perhaps better known as the green house effect.  We've been burning fossil fuel, releasing the CO2, but also cutting down the forests.  Trees complement us so well when they take up the CO2 and convert it to sugars and other organic matters.  Glacier ice in the Arctic have shrunken so significantly that it's scary.  Where we should all work together to salvage what we are able and reverse the trends, we've sadly made this really important issue very political.  Sure hope Baby Bunny will live in a world where we take better care of the resources given us.  In the mean time, we are preparing for another rough winter ahead.

Notice I'm wearing my Philadelphia Phillies sweatshirt. Another sad note...  The Phillies had the best season ever, winning 102 out of 162 total games this year.  They had the best winning record of all the baseball teams, too.  You think they would be playing in the World Series right now?  Nope!  They pathetically lost in the first round of playoffs.

I promise my next post will be more uplifting!
