Why I will not be using my rosemary any time soon

[mizarchivist]

Matt noticed a bunny in my raised herb bed last evening. Not cool, bunny! So I poked her off (from far away, gently, with the soft end of the rake) and she scampered a bit away, but not far. Huh. So I go look-- hol---y--- crrrap! It's a mama bunny. She had made a warren for her babies whose eyes were still closed!
... well, crap. This means that 1. the barrels were not safe from bunnies and 2. my herbs are donated to bunnies for the rest of the season. No way no how am I evicting this little family. 




You can't see them very well--- they're nestled in with the rosemary and thyme, no kidding.
ETA: After last night's excitement, looks like they found a new warren. I hope they're OK.

Ahhhhh...the circle of life. :) This sounds like a really cool kids book waiting to be written!

You should submit this to Cute Overload!

Would that I could have gotten a clearer picture of the babies, but I didn't. :/
I bet that might have made the calendar if I had, though

You might want to check in on them - it looks like they moved out last night after the hullabaloo...

Yeah--- everyone seems to be gone. I feel badly about that, but then again, not a great place to hang out for very long. Monkeys are disruptive.

ah well

So much for me bringing the kids by to look at baby bunnies.

Awewww, you're like Farmer MacGregor, but much nicer. :)

Yeah, I don't really have it in for the bunnehs. I'm kind of sad that they relocated, but yesterday was a bit traumatic. Too many monkeys!
