Here comes Peter Cottontail
In honor of the Bunny Holiday, today's post is all about bunnies.
Yesterday evening we went to check the baby bunnies. We checked them a few days ago, but I didn't have my camera. They were very big and fluffy and about to bubble out of their hole. I didn't know if they would still be there, but I wanted to see. I pulled back the grass on top of the hole and four very big bunnies stared at me. Then.. WOOOOOSH! Two of the bunnies FLEW out of the hole and ran into the sheep area. One ran right into the barn, and the other one sat next to the barn frozen in a bit of snow (yes, snow). Andy went to try and encourage it to get out of the snow, and it ran around the barn and in the other side. Back at the bunny nest, I sat and watched the other two bunnies watch me. I got one picture before the batteries on the camera died.
We tried to figure out why two stayed behind and wondered if the two runners would come back. In two weeks these little bunnies went from being hairless and about the size of my thumb to being fully furred and about the size of a softball. That mommy bunny milk must be some powerful stuff.
Before the snow came, I picked some dandelion greens for my own bunnies. It was Hop's and Wibble's day to be out, so I tossed their greens on the floor. Bob (our vegetarian cat) and Spam (our crazy cat) decided to join in at the salad bar.
