I have found, identified, and isolated the problem.
The Plot Bunny problem.
Turns out that the Plot Bunny has been seeking retirement somewhere cooler and less noticeable.
Unbeknownst to me, and possibly to the rest of the world, the job has been passed off to the Plot Puggle.
I discovered the mysterious, secretive ways of the Plot Puggle only yesterday when weeding the backyard.
She is not as skittish as the bunny, doesn't hide as often, and chooses to inspire more often than the predecessor.
Additionally, she has walked off the job more than once.
An arrangement has been reached, favorable to her, not so much to the rest of us.
Crossing fingers, this will be a better and more consistent partnership.
Sometimes being under new management is a good thing!

| Plot Bunny Hang Out |
When I think of camouflage I don't think desert.
Sure it exists here.
Mother Nature provides it everywhere ... when seen out of sequence, we don't always recognize something hiding in plain sight.
Inspiration, perspiration perseverance and sometimes plain staying still for a moment can make everything disappear and then the lesson is either learned or lost.
The Plot Bunny went on walk about. Then again, he does that if and when I do contest reading/judging. I read several entries for the Daphne Contest - suspense category. While most of them had won in the unpublished arena a couple of years ago and yes, they got contracts with 'real' publishing houses, none of them really lived up to the hype.
Besides, the important thing is contest reading scares the Plot Bunny. He was hiding in plain sight.
I had to deliver something to a friend's house (complete with desert landscaping) and I saw him hiding by the cacti in the picture above. The image isn't very clear, but he's there.
Really.
To re-rev the Bunny, I reworked some of the yarn I've unraveled. Thus far I've done: one bonnet for a premature baby (not very pretty, but very soft), an oversized scarf (and now I know why I won't pay retail for rammie/cotton blend yard), and a doll blanket. The next doll blanket will have double yarn - the needle being used is so fine I can scarcely see it shuttle in and out.
Project pictures pending.
Really.
Hey, do you think my Plot Bunny hides well enough to be the Easter Bunny? I found some eggs near his hiding place.
