We are still trying to figure out just how three adorable baby bunnies got into this flower barrel inside the enclosed garden. There's not much room in there and a mini sprinkler sprays regularly. It's also a pretty big hop into this old wooden whiskey barrel from the ground. These wee bunnies, barely a handful, maybe 4-inches long, were discovered only days ago hunkered down beneath the flowers, silently resting and staying put even with us poking at them to see if they were alive. How long they've been sleeping in there and how we missed discovering them sooner, no one can tell. We're often watering, weeding--and now, picking beans, tomatoes and an abundance of cucumbers. In other words, making noise and wandering in and out a lot. Of all places for rabbits to burrow, the flower barrel is not a likely spot. But there they were.
Grace was successful where the rest of us failed and got this one picture, as they would sense our presence and move deeper under cover. See how cute?
To satisfy our curiosity, a yard-cam was set up and before long we caught Mama Bunny making her rounds which assured us that the wee bunnies were not orphans and so we left them alone. And this morning--they were gone (assuming their Mama moved them due to our interest around the barrel.) Still don't know how she's getting inside the fence or how she got them out or where she took them. I tell ya, it's a mystery!
Adorable bunnies in such a pretty garden!

Bunnies are stealth little creatures! So glad Mommy is watching them closely. I wonder where she hid them this time? Poor thing has to constantly worry about them all becoming a meal! 🐰 Take care, Vicki!
