Entertainment

Like my friend Neda, we have some "friends" living in our yard. We thought we had a bunny or two living under our shed since we moved in almost 5 years ago. It used to be our form of entertainment to watch the dogs bark at them through the sliding glass door - or better, let the dogs out and watch them go leaping off the deck to chase them.


I was never worried - those bunnies are MUCH faster than our dogs - even speedy Nikki.


However both dogs are getting up there in age and aren't so amused with the bunnies anymore. Or maybe they're so used to getting outrun that they aren't as interested the in game...


But alas - David called me the other day to inform me we, in fact, do not have 2 bunnies living under the shed. We have FOUR! He happened to see them all out at the same time. About the same time he noticed one of our holly bushes was DEAD... I hope the bunnies had a good feast...


And then the other day he sent me this:



We've been wondering why we hear birds chirping so loudly lately, even when the windows are closed! This nest is in our bush in the front yard. I just hope the neighborhood kitties don't bother it!! I'm temped to have D put some snow fencing around it to allow the birds access but keep out cats. (side note - our cats are all indoor, but we do have "Ace" that belongs to an unknown neighbor and roams the neighborhood.)
