Mary says, "Happy New Year"

Mary, a glove bunny, was made to celebrate the year of the rabbit.  Mary has a basket of carrots fresh from the growers market.  I have named her Mary after our local mountain peak.  The first bunny I owned was stuffed  and  I kept it in a cage in my bedroom.  My two sisters would insist I feed it raw carrots and during the night the bunny would eat the carrots gone.  I wish I could remember her name.   The second bunny I owned was named Shasta.  My family had just visited my grandparents for the first time in Northern California, Yreka.  We flew into Medford, Oregon from Pennsylvania and I experienced the great mountain of Shasta in her beauty and grandeur from Interstate 5.  Even in the middle of summer she still had a layer of snow on her top.    When we got home from the trip I got a live bunny with a white hump on her back and I named her Shasta.  She was beautiful but she always ran away while I was at school and I would spend the afternoons looking for her.
