Oh look! Here are our tour guides for the day! Homer and Charlotte are ready to welcome us, and to show us around the gallery. Please let them know if there are any questions along the way!
Our first stop is the Moon Bunny room. Don’t chase those bunnies, Homer!
It’s the time of year when the bunnies who live on the moon, harvest the moonflower seeds, and sprinkle them down to Earth. Bunnies around the world spend one whole night collecting and planting them, so they are ready to grow in the spring. Let’s s

It’s ok to rest little bunny.
This is what a moon bunny, harvesting the moonflower seeds looks like. Incredible! “Harvesting the moonflower seeds” Mixed media collage on canvas $30 -sold - JR
Uh oh, we think the bunnies see that it’s almost time for their breakfast. While the bunny crew have been collecting moonflower seeds through the night, the Spool family have been in the kitchen preparing some yummy treats. Let’s see what’s cooking!
Sure smells delicious! We think Dot is waiting for someone to drop a chocolate chip cookie onto the floor.
So many delicious things to eat! We hope the bunnies save some treats for Dot, Dorrie, Homer and Charlotte!

Bunnies deserve a cold drink after a long shift. The beverage cart is well stocked this morning, drink up, bunnies!
Don’t tell Dot where we hid the rest of the cookies!
Homer and Charlotte would like us to head upstairs now, so the bunnies can enjoy their breakfast. Wonder what surprises we’ll find there!
Charlotte is very excited for our next story stop. Her favorite spot in the whole gallery! No dogs allowed. Sorry, Homer. We’ll meet you in the next room.
It looks like Dot and Dorrie aren’t feeling very social today, we don’t see them anywhere?
There are a few mice running around the gallery, they better watch out! One of the spool cats may have spotted the mouse hiding in the painting?
