We've got rain

And boy do we ever have rain. It's been raining buckets here (wear your hardhats, those buckets hurt). It's been raining heavily for the last 45 minutes, with frequent lightning, thunder and pea size hail.
I'm hiding inside my tent, and not coming out until the storm passes, I've got some hay, my greens, and my Carrot bunny stuffie in here. I may have to get daddy to move my tent into the front hall, if we have a tornado watch.
Not to worry though, daddy tells me that we are to close to the lake for a tornado to form.
I'm really glad daddy decided to stay home, he was going to go out and try to sell his art.

Now back to your regluar schedualed blog.........

Our city has issued ANOTHER extreame heat alert, that's the third one this year. The nice green grass that I like to eat is turning into the brown of some of the more disgusting hay that daddy used to get, there hasn't been more then a few drops of rain here and there for several weeks. The weather people are calling it the Toronto effect, rain all around us and a great big hole right over top of Toronto. Daddy also told me that the jetstream (it's like a highway for weather systems), is WAY up north of where it should be, and so all the rain we would normally get is going across there. I may have to go do some bunstruction and reroute the jetstream back to where it should be, all I have to do is thump at it a couple times and that should do the trick.

Guest blogger Ash

I've got something Sunki doesn't have, I've got a monkey stuffie. I just got him so I'm still try to get a name for him, as soon as we have a name we'll let everyone know. And if our loyal readers have a suggestion let us know in the comments section

Fresh veggies

It has been asked if the bags we got keep the greens fresh. Well, it's been 4 days since we put the carrot tops in the bag, and they are still green and fresh.
See for yourself, these pictures were taken just a couple of minutes ago.

The carrot tops and cilantro that we put in last Thursday, still green and NOMMIE

In the bag, if these same things were kept in a plastic bag would have gone bad days ago.

Farmers Markets and more

Today me and daddy went to a Farmers Market, where we got some carrot tops, my favorite part of the carrot. Those carrots are gross, that part that the humans eat, ewwwww. It grows underground in the dirt, and they put cow poop on it. Carrot tops grow above ground, away from the dirt and cow poop.
Daddy bought some special bags for our greens, they are supposed to keep them clean and fresh, but still let the bad gases they release from spoiling them.

After the farmers market we went across to one of our favorite pet stores called "Wag on the Danforth", the lady that runs the store is really nice, and treats all of us bunnies good. She doesn't put out treats for us bunnies like she does for the dogs, but then we're the only bunnies that come in there.
Anyway daddy got us some hay, from Bourne Free Farms, they are an all natural hay company. Bourne Free is one of the sponsors of Rabbit Rescues "Bunfest"at the end of September.

Daddy says that I should get to bed early because we might be going to the beach for a bit tomorrow, or we might go see Spiderman, or the Outdoor Art Exhibition. I'm voting for the Art show or beach myself, but daddy says it's going to be super hot tomorrow, so maybe it'd be better to do something inside a building equipped with a cool box.

We'll see about if we like it, or we'll be switching back to Oxbow.

Canada Day turns out to be lucky

I guess July 1st really is lucky for me, daddy ran into the same sort of problem he did last time we tried to go up the tower, but a better result. At first we were hopeful that we would get to go up without any problem, that was dashed when we got to the security check point. We ended up outside talking to the supervisor, as you can tell it turned out good. But for 30 minutes it was looking rather bad for us, the supervisor finally came out and allowed us to go up the tower, with the redundant instructions that people weren't allowed to touch me etc.

I still managed to have fun, the elevator goes faster then I thought it would, to go from the ground to the lookout level (1136ft) it only takes 58 seconds. And the VIEW, well that is something else.

Rogers Centre (Skydome) from 1136ft up, the Jays were playing at the time.

The Bell/TIFF Lightbox building, me and daddy have been in this building too

Inside are these monitors, they show live pictures of the people outside on the Edgewalk

This is the Outdoor Sky Terrace, it is VERY windy out here, it is 1122ft up.

Where that arrow is pointing is the building we live in 8 miles away from the tower

In my stroller on the glass floor, the glass can hold five full grown elephants

You can see my stroller on the left side of the picture

Look at how cool the view is.

A picture of me and daddy, everyone gets one taken, but not everyone buys them

Out on the Terrace with the city in the background

That is Billy Bishop airport (Toronto Island Airport) over there.

Centre Island

The white at the bottom of the picture, that's the big balloon I told you about

The 3D crystal keychain daddy had made, the inscription says (Sunki's 1st trip CN Tower 2012), it hangs on my stroller.

We also went and saw my great grand aunt, and tried to fix her computer, it didn't work because of the keyboard she wanted to use. But that allowed us to kill a few hours before having to make the trek to see the fireworks. I should say that the trip to get to her place was an adventure in itself, see the Spanish that live in the city caused a real problem with their celebrations, which added to the other road problems already there, and made the traffic problems multiply. A trip that would have taken only a few minutes took more then an hour.

Well I'll post more about my adventure tomorrow, right now though both me and daddy need to go to bed, considering we've been out and about for more then 12 hours streight. We left our house at noon, and didn't get back until midnight.
