The Bunny
I saw the bunny this morning! It was still dark when we got up,
--the dogs and I. I let them out into the entry way that comes
into the kitchen and as I went out with them, I looked out the door to
the driveway before heading in the opposite direction to let the dogs
into their pen. There was the bunny, loping down my shoveled path
from the car to the door. At the house, s/he turned and ran
alongside the front of the garage to the berry patch. Perhaps its
home is in the berry patch or under the garage on that side. I
know bunnies can be death to spring flowers and gardens, but this bunny
was so cute! Its big, long ears were standing up and it was
intent on getting back to its hidey hole. I don't think it saw me
but it may have heard me stirring around in the house, opening the
door to the entry way. The bunny looks healthy so it's
getting something to eat!

She always is having trouble with animals eating her vegetables and flowers. She has trouble with deer, bunnies, groundhogs and even moles! I've had a little problem. Deer ate my newest tulips and even took the tops out of my tomato plants, but Carolyn has much more of a problem than I do. I am sure it's because she has so much more variety and everything grows better for her. Still, I think about this bunny making a path from the berry patch to my porch steps. This could lead to flower munching in the spring. Well, everybody has to eat!










I think that bunny has found a happy home with you. We'll just hope he/she will stay out of your flowers come spring. Merry Christmas Eve to you, and have a beautiful day, Nancy. God Bless!
