We really enjoy the menagerie that shows up in our backyard. At one point yesterday we counted at least nine (9) squirrels romping around. They were having fun chasing each other up and down and around the tree, and it looked like total pandemonium. We are very fortunate to have a nice yard that gives us our own little slice of nature.

Cute bunny looks cold

Here’s a cute “Aww…” for you. This bunny is certainly puffed up and looks like he is cold, even though it’s a nice 55 degrees out. He didn’t move for about ten minutes.

Big flakes and a covered bunny

Strange as it sounds, we’ve been waiting for a decent snow since we’re still stuck in Indiana. Snowfall is so pretty, and this evening it started at dark. Up to 5 – 6 inches is forecast before morning, which is the most accumulation yet from any event this winter.

We noticed this little bunny just sitting in the yard seemingly really enjoying the snowfall. He was there long enough to begin to get a covering of snowflakes on his back. He sat there for quite a few minutes.

Snow is starting to stick!

This time last year we were enjoying an RV Resort in the Texas Hill Country west of Austin. With any luck we can get our covid vaccines sooner than later and be able to get on the road again.

Rose in bloom near a crime scene

A pretty bloom

Well, maybe not a crime scene, however some dastardly critter (most probably a rabbit) has stolen one of the two remaining rose buds from this rose bush. I suspect that the perpetrator of the rose bud theft is also responsible for the wanton destruction of a couple of our sweet corn seedlings in the garden.

Watching some bunnies on a rainy day

Two bunnies looking at a third one behind the tree.

The COVID-19 shutdown did not stop the cool and breezy rain today. We had just watched the squirrels having a ball with the ears of corn. All of a sudden here came some bunny rabbits. They must have been enjoying the rain as they were running around, chasing each other and having a good old time.

Here is a short little video of the bunnies frolicking around.

We did have fun watching some wildlife today. With the rain it was tough to spend much if any time outside. Maybe tomorrow will bring nicer weather. Remember, friends, stay safe and stay healthy!
