Grapes were not commonly found throughout the year in an Ohio village during the 1960s. <\/p>\n<p>Living on the California Central Coast produce is abundant at the Farmers\u2019 Markets and even in the grocery stores. Actually, when I have visited Ohio in the past few years I was pleasantly surprised to find produce looking quite nice. Well, except for the neighborhood market near the village where I spent the first 20 years of my life.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"hrVisible\" \/>\n<p>For folks with house bunny companions\u2013it is a good idea to cut grapes into pieces when offering them to your bunnies, and watching the bunnies eat them before leaving the room.<\/p>\n<p>I had a bunny, Baby Cornell who very nearly swallowed a whole grape. Yep, that is very nearly. The grape became lodged in his throat and it wasn\u2019t an experience that I care to repeat. He also had a problem with celery. So, now I always chop celery for my current bunnies. It could have been that Baby Cornell was simply eating too fast, but he changed how I have fed all of the bunnies since.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, I named my bunny Cornell after <a href=\"http:\/\/www.josephcornellbox.com\/boxes.htm\" >Joseph Cornell<\/a>, one of my favorite artists.<\/p>\n<div class=\"centered\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/Cornell1.jpg\" alt=\"Baby Cornell in Garden\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"caption\">Baby Cornell Foraging In Our New Jersey Garden In Progress<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"centered\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/Cornell2.jpg\" alt=\"Baby Cornell on  Sofa\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"caption\">Baby Cornell Hanging Out On The Sofa In Washington<br \/>\nHe was such a beautiful boy and a delight to live with.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<hr class=\"hrVisible\" \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When I was a girl we had grape salad on special Sundays.
