Mother Nature is trying to play a cruel trick on the Ville. It’s true!
Before lunch today, and knowing that my mums (the bajillion around the house that seem to get bigger every year) are blooming, I grab my camera as I let the dogs outside and plan to get a photo to share with you. Rather than switch to the appropriate lens, I simply lean down really close.
Standing right beside me, Libby pokes her nose against the mum I’m photographing, and out pops a bunny! To say I was startled would be a ginormous understatement. As Libby’s darting behind the furry hopper as it’s making a daring escape, I’m yelling for her not to kill it. (Yes, she understands human. The bunny lives!) As far as I know, the neighbors did not call the police concerned about all the commotion next door.
But then, I notice a sibling bunny! Once the hounds were safely back inside, bunny #2 was happy to pose for a photo.
So as fall is now in full swing, Mother Nature thinks she can put bunnies and sunshine and flower blooms out there in the universe and trick us into believing it’s spring. I might’ve been fooled if not for the view…
