He loved to run.  He was rather crafty and would always successfully outsmart Ethan.  Ethan was ultimately drawn to his prolific texture and wide range of colors.  Out of all of the varieties of these species, "Young Harvest" was most easily recognized by his American flag like pattern, draping over his entire body.  Although Ethan was a long time experienced hunter, he never once thought of capturing this beautiful creature, nor embarking upon the taste in which others spoke so highly about.  He merely enjoyed traversing the fields of South Dakota and discovering all of the good fortune "Young Harvest" had to offer.  Just as Ethan reached for his afternoon taboule sandwich, he joined "Young Harvest", who at that moment was sitting alone eating seeds and leaves off of the nearby trees.  From then on he and Ethan caroused in the undisturbed grass for the remainder of the afternoon, straight through early sunset and into evening's end.

He knew they were best purchased in the summer, especially from their local Farmer's Market.  She was attracted to their beautiful shape and sheen. She envisioned preparing a Rustic Italian dish.  He was mesmorized with how the photographs he took of them were so captivating to his eye, which of course would no doubt transfer onto canvas.  When baked they had such a tender flavor as well as a very sweet taste.  Their thick gorgeous skin reminded her of a ripe portabella and a delicate cut of sirloin.  Not only did they both enjoy knowing that these lovely vegetables are the popular choice in Italy but that they are prevalent at their table any time.  Low in calories, they served as the perfect, healthy main course.  (Of course generously stuffed with risotto, fresh vegetables, ground lamb, cheddar cheese and a touch of pesto, which added that rustic flare she was searching for).  Their day's mission was complete and without surprise, polished off within twenty four hours.  Only scrap cuts of julienned red pepper and ground lamb remained for the pup to enjoy.

Skeeter

Welcome to my blog and thanks for following! The writings are created by me, Jennifer Alfia DiMarzo and the material presented over the next five weeks are photographs also taken by me. I hope that you may be able to join me once a week, throughout the next year on my creative journey! Enjoy!

His fur was charcoal black, with a mane-like necklace around his neck and shoulders, similar to that of a lion's.   He was referred to as a bunny rabbit but to Charlie he was much more than that.  He named him Skeeter.  It took Skeeter eons to chew and digest the Cheerios Charlie would lay out on the linoleum tile for him, much longer than it would have taken any lion!  Water, Skeeter's beverage of choice, was sipped as slow as a turtle moves.  Charlie was always afraid that he was going to break Skeeter's back whenever he had the guts to hold him.  Skeeter was as delicate as a feather, and of course did not have the hard shell a turtle has on it's back.  (One could surely relate why Charlie was so tentative).  Though the time the two of them spent together was minimal, the meals and quiet times shared were deeply memorable occassions for the both of them.   The departure lasted the greatest length.  The moment the car pulled into the driveway of the farm where the little girl lived, Charlie's eyes filled up with water.  He couldn't hold back the tears when handing over the cage to the new young owner in pig tails, who was busy combing her Barbie's hair.  Charlie immediately thought back to the hours he would spend brushing the rabbit's coat, knowing how much Skeeter enjoyed his caressing movements.  Charlie's eyes met the little girl's eyes just at that very moment and they happily agreed upon weekly visitations.  Skeeter was one lucky bunny and Charlie, knowing this wouldn't be the last time he saw Skeeter, was once again one happy little boy.
