Saturday morning guest: Eddie Rabbit Click on headline for story of Eddie Rabbit and picture(s) By Linda Waggener A just-a-bit-older-than-baby rabbit graciously shared his hospitality on this one acre mighty fertile farm we occupy rather peaceably together. He provided morning entertainment for too short a skit. I first saw him (I thought of him as a him because of a warrior-like stance among the other livestock), along the rock wall out back where he pounced at a dove and then scolded a robin invader for glide-landing right into his territory. After the dove raced away, the little rabbit was off for more breakfast amidst tender shoots of fresh summer grass. He bounced and played with too much speed to get a good picture but the photo accompanying this story shows he's about as tall as his favorite clover. Observing him at work, I thought he should have been made a part of the deer family. He's brown, he has alert ears and huge eyes and he bounds and leaps like a deer. And, like a deer, he has a gentle nature, eats no other creature, and is a huntsman's quarry, too. During the one act play, I named him Eddie after my first husband who I called to come to the window. However, Ed said that actually Ralph Rabbit would be a more appropriate name as the little fellow was a reminder of the "green rabbit" from their Jamestown Hill garden when the two were growing up among older siblings Jean, Annette, Fay and Arthur, with their parents E.P. and Audrey Lee Chelf Waggener. Ed's little brother, Ralph, at age two, was said to have delighted all five older sibs, parents and visitors as he'd tell them about the fancy colored wild pet that came to eat grass and Bibb Lettuce growing outback. I have nagged my first husband for over forty years to write more about growing up in the tall white house atop the tall hill on Jamestown Street in Columbia. I came into the family too late to know his father who was famous for having battled and burned off honeysuckle vines (one of my favorite flowers) or Ed's Granny Waggener who was said to get her eye on a certain piece of fried chicken as the plate went around the table of nine and give a stern message to anyone who took it before the plate got to her. Thankfully I did get to know Ed's saintly mother and many of her quiet teachings still guide me today. Until he writes that full memory of the green garden so I can get the full picture in mind of the Bibb Lettuce muncher, I'm still calling my morning guest Eddie Rabbit. -Linda Reid Marcum Waggener.
