2011 The Year of the Metal Rabbit

This illustration (flickr user hagerstenguy) caught my eye for two reasons. First, for my post about this year being the year of the Rabbit by the Chinese zodiac. But secondly, after a further look-I noticed a hunter taking aim behind the rabbit which is now fleeing for his life through the snowy, rocky woods! This reminded me of Miss Laurie's rabbit problem-and that's a whole other story... Well, the rabbit lives-after all it's his year and he is extra luck coming his way. Sorry Miss Laurie-those bunnies may not be leaving!
The Chinese zodiac consists of 12 different animal signs. The rabbit is the fourth, always after the tiger and before the dragon. The zodiac follows people by their birth year AND by lunar cycle. To become familiar with your animal sign start looking here.
Wishing you a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year! All of us just may have a little more luck from Mr. (or Mrs.) Rabbit.

  1. HA! Just saw this - and the zodiac must not have realized there was going to be a boom in the Fox population! Bye Bye Bunnies!
