That's Clever

Last Spring we acquired six rabbits.  Due to the extreme cold, the rabbits were moved to the old hog barn.  The barn provides protection and also makes it easier to feed and water the rabbits.  I knew that the kids had named the four show rabbits - Orbit, Checkers, Comet and Oreo. 

However, the two wilder rabbits hadn't been named.  Tonight, I learned that they DID indeed have names ... Robin and Marian.  Apparently they were given these names because they could 'never be together'!  That's according to my 9yo darling daughter, Angelina, who has obviously watched or read Robin Hood one too many times.

This whole conversation came about because Robin died today.  He had health issues, so it wasn't a complete surprise to me or Eric.  All the kids were sad to hear of his death, but life and death are a fact of farm life.  Poor Marian!
