Today I cleared out some chocolates that had been hiding in my chocolate stash pile for awhile, including some spring "shapes" from ethel's chocolate (Henderson, NV), and a chocolate bunny from Lake Champlain Chocolates (Vermont).

I thought I had lost the bunny last month; it reappeared this evening as I was about to drive over to a nice park with a redwood grove -- where frequently there are bunnies that come out to nibble grass in the twilight. Nice coincidence.
