The daffodils are starting to bloom, soon to be followed by forsythia, phlox, redbud and so much more. Like the beauty of a Knockout Rose.

Or, the sweet little baby bunnies:
Just waiting for spring!
Hanging out under this little tree.
We are just little ones.
Hoping to survive long enough to visit your garden . . .
And, maybe find a bite to eat.
Today’s Lagniappe: Honey and Ginger Glazed Carrots
The perfect dish for a little bunny or a hungry honey!
6 cups water
3 pounds young, small carrots with tops trimmed to 2 inches, peeled or scrubbed, or 3 pounds packaged peeled baby carrots
2 tablespoons margarine or butter
2 tablespoons honey
4 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
1/4 teaspoon salt
Directions
1. Line a baking sheet with paper towels. In a 12- or 14-inch heavy skillet bring water to boiling. Add carrots. Return to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer about 10 to 12 minutes or until carrots are just tender. Drain carrots. Carefully turn out onto prepared baking sheet. (When green tops are left on carrots during cooking, they become very fragile. As the carrots cook, some of the tops may come off.) Pat dry with additional paper towels.
2. To glaze carrots, in the same heavy skillet combine margarine, honey, ginger, and salt. Stir constantly over medium heat until margarine is melted. Carefully add carrots. Toss gently for 2 to 3 minutes or until carrots are thoroughly coated with glaze and heated through completely.
3. To serve, arrange carrots in a shallow bowl or on a platter; drizzle with remaining glaze from pan. Makes 12 servings.

Oh my gosh, until I saw your hand, I had no idea they were so tiny! I have a lot of bunnies thinking about “love” right now in my backyard, and lots and lots of fat happy quail! Thanks for this cute post!
You are so lucky to be able to have all those wonderful flowers! I am pretty much stuck with roses, thank goodness….petunias, and geraniums right now, but a few more will be here soon!
Oh, those precious little baby bunnies.

Yes, baby bunnies are cute! But they don’t stand a chance in our yard with the 4 cats on patrol!
Can’t wait for the roses, the carrots recipe sounds divine!
Those bunnies are so adorable! Your rose is lovely and your post is truly an inspiration to get out in the garden. We still have some time before we can do much other than garden clean up. We still have snow on the mountains, although not in the valley. Idaho doesn’t really start warming up until April or May.
Love,
Susan and Bentley

Awww, how lucky you are to have gotten that close to the babies. I would love to find some around here, but DH has a Beagle, enough said.
I love the vibrant color of the knock out rose.
