It's always fun to get an extra boost to help you get through the week. Here are two to get you started … rabbits crossing and double corn.

Here are some little things to start the week off:

Rabbit Crossing

Our neighbor set up a rabbit crossing sign. We have a lot of rabbits in the neighborhood. When I went out to get the mail, there was a gang of rabbits relaxing in the grass at the rabbit crossing sign. I ran in to get my camera and two were left. Chillin’ rabbits!

Corn & Friend

In all my years, I have never shucked corn and found a twin. Two for the price of one!
