Yesterday, the pets and I spent some time lounging in the back yard. After awhile, the girls let me know that they had had enough of the Great Outdoors, so I put them back inside. I stayed outside, working in the garden--deadheading flowers, cutting back plants. I was staking up some some yarrow plants that had flopped over in the rain when I noticed something on the ground. Can you see it?
It was a little baby bunny, all tucked up at the bottom of the yarrow. She stayed absolutely stock still the whole time I was working there. If her little nose hadn't twitched, you would have thought she was frozen. I am absolutely amazed that the dogs hadn't sniffed her out. She was still pretty tiny, about the size of my fist, so maybe she didn't have much of a scent. Her "freeze" instinct certainly served her well!
I checked on her throughout the day; by early evening she had moved on.
