My bunnies were hopping around in the backyard last week. They usually hang out in front, by the hedge. It looks like "Peter" and "Cotton" made it through the winter fine and dandy, thank you very much.
I'm not sure where they go to stay safe and dry at night, but maybe under our old shed. Some animal (bigger than a rat, smaller than a racoon) made a little tunnel going under there. I suspected a possum, but it could be these guys. Hey, if they're wily enough to thrive in this tough town, good for them. I'm happy to assist with some affordable housing.
We finally had welcome rain last night. The soil is quite dry, as we've had 3 inches less moisture this month than normal. But then, what is "normal weather" anymore? The garden is picking up steam and the forsythia and hyacinths are blooming. I always bring the first ones inside for the beautiful fragrance.
Oh, give us pleasure in the flowers today;
And give us not to think so far away
As the uncertain harvest; keep us here
All simply in the springing of the year.
