Some Bunnies Don't Realize How Easy They Have It

This beautiful girl has been hanging around our yard all summer. I thought she was behaving strangely this morning, so I went to check things out.

Turns out she was busily building a beautiful nest, right there in the middle of the front lawn, completely exposed for anyone to see. She was still putting grass in the cavity she had dug, and hadn't started lining it with fur yet.

Not such a good idea,what with the Neighborhood Lion making our yard his favorite killing zone.  I moved the grass under cover of the shrubs and perennials (although she probably won't retrieve it). Then I filled in the depression, and blocked it off with an X-pen.

I really hope she has picked a new space for her babies that has more protection. Some place  where they have at least a slim hope of avoiding the Lion, and also the Black Panther that we have recently seen in the yard. Send a little prayer, or some good vibes her way, won't you?

As for the Old Man inside, where life is a little more cushy, he leaves you with this thought for the week. Never lose touch with your food dish, even if its empty.
