Here it rained and rained and rained on Labor Day, so Miss Hoppy stayed in all day, recovering from the previous day's trauma. Our neighborhood has a "block party" every Labor Day Sunday, and it's across the street from our house, a huge picnic, with a loud sound system and music. Miss Hoppy did NOT appreciate all that noise! and declined her chance to go to the party - said bunny ears are better than people ears, and she could hear the whole party perfectly well from her spot under the bureau upstairs, thank you very much!

I spent much of the party showing people how to make cornhusk dolls. I made one example every time, and by the end we had a pretty big village of cornhusk folks! And though the music was loud, I sat with my deaf ear toward the speakers, so it wasn't too bad for me!
