Rabbits remind me of childhood and innocence and gentleness. Watership Down's characters, Winnie the Pooh's friend, Rabbit, and Alice in Wonderland's White Rabbit and March Hare remind us that there is more to rabbits than meets the eye. New Hampshire snowshoe hares are masters of camouflage in their white winter coats, provided it stays cold enough to trigger this seasonal adaptation. Anita, the way you wrote about Watership Down reminded me of the author Ayn Rand and her subject theme on freedom and individuality versus the social good of the people managed through a communist ideology. I must read Watership Down!
I look forward to each Country Chronicles post because of the anticipation of having no clue what mystery key awaits, unlocking my inner treasure chest of reminiscences and childlike wonder!
I loved Watership Down and Peter Cottontail too. If I was able to have blackberries and cream for dinner (or breakfast as I do), I'd be good as gold! However, I can't think of one kiddie lit book I read as an education student that weren't far and above the rest!
This was a lovely reminiscent read. My first doll was Peter Rabbit that I loved dearly and like others have mentioned Watership Down is another heartfelt story that made me read into the late hours of night.
Embracing the thought of rewatching Watership Down, accompanied by a hot buttered brandy. Snow bound in suburbia Chicago. This deep snow is perfect for building a Frosty . By the way of rabbits, I envy their fur! Thanks Anita for facilitating my “decisive” evenings companions.

I love that you ended your charming reflection of gardens and rabbits with part of Psalm 8.

Watership Down was such beautiful story. It's a joy to revisit it here in your blog!
