The bunny pictured above showed up one rainy day last week and spent most of the afternoon grazing on my unmowed lawn [too wet to mow.] I decided to take its picture -- and then it hopped off to the woods and didn't reappear for a few days. I'm wondering, where are the babies? I did a little research and if this bunny is indeed a mother bunny, she keeps her babies hidden in their nest for about 2 weeks before they venture out.
Just yesterday about a mile from here I saw a very young bunny on the run -- it was identical to this one in markings but about one third its size. Just adorable! I am hoping if any babies appear here, I can snap them all together, hopping around the yard. If I do, you can be sure I'll share with you.
It sort of feels like a bunny day today, mostly cloudy, not too warm, a gentle breeze -- the grass sweetly scented -- hope bunny drops by for a nibble. [Since I don't have a vegetable plot in this poor and rocky soil, I don't mind a bunny's visit. However, if we had a garden replete with lettuce, carrots, and beans, I'd be careful to see the wire mesh was in good working order to keep this little fellow out of the garden!]

Have a great evening. Hop to it!
