TH - Clothesline

You know how you sometimes see something out the corner of your eye but when you look it isn't there?  The nice thing about pets is you can blame them.  In fact I blame my pets for every little noise I hear in the night.  Only way I'm able to not fret about it for the rest of the night.  Anyway, that's what I thought I was seeing out of the corner of my eye - until the thing stayed put long enough for me to actually see it.  It was a white rabbit looking through the glass back door.  There is a family of rabbits that moves in under the deck during the winter months.  Enough snow now that it's blown into a ridge down the length of the deck.  That leaves the rabbits a nice race track next to the house to run along.  Dunder noticed the rabbit too.  Kinda cute watching them, a pane of glass between, trying to figure each other out.

The word Clothes ( Old English Clath) has connections to the Dutch word Kleed and the German word Kleid.   Clothes came into use before the 12th Century.  I'm sure the English didn't go buck naked before that - they just used a different word.

Would like to have seen that. Did you get any pics? Guess the rabbits can stay warm enough under the deck.
