I was doing some watering yesterday when I saw something run by and assumed it was one of those ubiquitous chipmunks, but when I put my hose down I could see that it was a tiny baby bunny, no bigger than a chipmunk. He stayed right there while I ran inside to get my phone and he let me get very close. I then noticed a sibling in the mulch under the roses, but he ran away when I go too close. The first little guy just stayed there and I was afraid he would get heat stroke in the hot sun, so I nudged him very lightly with the phone and he ran back under the bushes.
I thought it was amusing that they were about a foot from this sign in the mulch. Do you think they can read? Do you think they were eating the leaves next to the sign? I saw Momma Bunny a few minutes later in some nearby bushes. I looked for them today, but no luck.

So nice to have wildlife in your own yard.
oh I hear a bunny sighting is lucky, unless they are sighted in your garden eating your lettuce. LEeAnna
I look at bunnies a whole nuther way. Cole
Sweet baby! Though Mom Bunny should probably stop snacking and help out the little one....
