A little brown rabbit that we call Petra has a smorgasbord
of grasses and weeds in our back yard every morning. I
have noticed that she is getting stout and matronly. I
am careful to keep Rex in when she is having breakfast.
She isn't a very cautious little cotton tail.
This morning, she is carrying wet grasses to a nest she
is foolishly making in the roots of a crepe myrtle inside
a flower bed. It is a sight to see this little bunny
carrying grass in her mouth and depositing it in a nest.
I do hope the birth is not going to take place for several
days. She has chosen a wet and muddy spot even though the
roots of the plant form an enclosure for her babies.
I want her to be able to raise her little family in
peace and out of the weather. If she can wait until
tomorrow, she should have a much better chance.
