Today started out like any regular day…well except for this…
… there was a black bunny in the back yard.
This looks like an Easter bunny kinda bunny, not the wild bunnies we have running around. Although he was with a wild bunny. I threw out some carrots but they didn't get them.
So then I headed off for my massage, I have been trying to keep my frozen shoulder from coming back, doing exercises and getting it worked on now and then and after Spring Fling I needed it.
So when I got out of the massage place the clock said 11:11, and I said "Hey Poppa & Granny". I ran over to the antique store near there but didn't find anything. So then I headed home. When I was on Ironwood I was going behind a slowpoke and finally was able to get around him. Then I was almost home, I could see my turn off and there was a car in front of me. Then all of a sudden the white truck that was headed our way crossed over the lane and into the side of the road, I thought he was making a u-turn or something, but then he came so fast out of the ditch and he flipped his truck 4- 5 times. It ended up on the hood in the other ditch and then it flipped onto its wheels, it was smushed pretty bad. The car in front of me stopped and I stopped too and we kinda blocked the road so no one could drive through. I called 911 and I am so bad with directions, I even could not remember the street name Jackpot, one of the cars in line yelled it out to me…what a dork I am. So anyway as I was on with the 911 and then the paramedics, the driver starts crawling out of the truck and the older couple had gone over to the other side of the pick up. There was stuff all over the road and in the ditch. The paramedic asked me to ask the driver if there was anyone else and he just pointed to the truck and then I looked and the older couple were standing by the passenger and he had been thrown out and he was in bad shape. The paramedics, police and there was even two helicopters came and took them away. I had to give my phone number and address and the police would come by later, they did and I had to give a statement. I was shaky and almost wanted to get sick to my stomach for quite a while, you would think I was in the accident. I have a splitting head ache, so I am going to bed early.
I had never seen anything like that in my life. It was like un real, like I was watching a movie or something. I sure hope they are ok. I know the road was closed for a long time cause the police had to take aerial pictures or something.
So I am thinking Poppa and Granny made that driver be slow on Ironwood so I was not closer to the truck, cause basically it was just seconds. In fact the cop said the car in front of me just barely got missed. Geesh.
Be safe everyone, and take it easy out there on the road.
Have a great weekend, and thanks for stopping in.
Very scary! Life is so fragile. Glad you are okay!!

ty Granny & Poppa for that slow vehicle.
I know exactly what you mean. I was riding with a friend on a highway when 2 younger people went zooming by on 'crotch rockets'. I told her I hated to follow motorcycles because I'm always afraid they will flip. At that moment there was dust in the air and like slow motion, one of the motorcycles was doing summer salts through the air. Apparently one of them had just tapped the rear tire of the first one and off he went. We stopped to help and did the same, called 911 etc. Went to the kid in the ditch and he was trying to get up but we convinced him to just lay there. His helmet was all but destroyed. His girlfriend came up and I touched her shoulder and I told her, his guardian angel saved him that day. I never want to see anything like that again!!!
Oh wow Di… that is pretty dam hectic. Glad you were ok… Not nice to see it right in front of you though. I love that bunny… 😀
WOW, what a story, Diana! Thank God you are okay and I'll say prayers for the people in the accident. I've never seen any REAL injured people, either; so traumatic! Rest and relax; probably the best thing for you.
oh yikes what a harrowing day. I probably would have freaked out too. Glad you are ok. cute bunny pics. My son wanted to know what we could do to get that easter bunny in our yard!! lol
I completely believe in guardian angels…so glad yours were watching over you yesterday.
Wow, Diana, I so glad you are safe and I am so sorry to hear about the others…especially the passengers. Very traumatic! I'd have a head ache too! Helps us to know how fragile life is and how God protects us every day in ways we aren't even aware of.

Also, we have a little pet bunny and he loves, loves, loves bananas! =)
Glad you are okay. God's timing is perfect!
Phew! Glad you were not involved and will be okay after you get some rest.
It's me…your friendly neighborhood (in Utah) blog lurker. I am so glad that you were not injured. Hopefully the truck passengers will be okay. I had an accident back at the beginning of November and I was very blessed not to have flipped my car. I am trying to be very aware of my blessing more these days. You are one of my blessings. I love to read your blog. Thank you for all your inspiration and kindness.
Blessings on you from above. You're right, your Angels are looking out for you. So glad you are ok, and pray that the accident victims are too.
I am so glad you are ok and were not involved in the accident! I firmly believe that everything happens for a reason and I try to remember that when I am fussing because of someone poking along in front of me!
Granny and Poppa were definitely looking out for you. That's very clear by the 11:11 thing. I'm glad that you were not any closer to the accident – but I bet those people were glad you were where you were so you could call 911. Sending you big hugs
love you lots
