This isn’t travel related, but I did want to share something that happened last evening.
Ron was outside weeding the raised garden beds. One had a real thick clump of chickweed in it. When he pulled the clump up, two tiny bunnies hopped out — about 5″ long each. They were so fast that at first Ron thought they were mice. One immediately disappeared from sight. But then Ron called me to come take a look. He stood still and pointed at the grass behind a planter. There sat the other little bunny motionless as a tiny carving. And where Ron had weeded, a nest lined with rabbit fur was exposed.
I was so afraid the mother would abandon the babies since the nest had been disturbed. I wanted so badly to pick the little thing up. I thought briefly of trying to bottle feed him and raise him. But then I decided to just hope the mother would come back and rescue her babies. So we left the garden.
Maybe the Mom did return and round them up. I am afraid to check the nest again. I don’t want to know if she didn’t.
P.S. The nest was abandoned. I do hope the Mom relocated her babies.
