The twitch of a rabbit’s ears or the fluff of a cotton ball tail as a bunny disappears into the weeds is irresistible to me.
That’s why I’m always on “Bunny Patrol” whenever I walk or drive out of our development. The rabbits come out of the woods and brush along a farm field, usually early in the morning and in the late afternoon. Sometimes, they are easy to spot, but frequently I have to look carefully to see them near the tall grass.
Some of them are tame enough to sit and let me watch them for a while before they scamper off. Others are very shy and run off as soon as they know they’ve been spotted.
If I see one bunny, it’s a great day. But when I see more, like the other day when there were six, it’s a fabulous day! If a baby bunny is among them, well, that is truly special.
So today, when I saw no rabbits at all on my early morning walk, I was so disappointed. Because at least one bunny a day on “Bunny Patrol” brings me great joy and makes my day perfect.
On Facebook, I talk about nature, poetry, and the life of a writer.
I’d love for you to follow me there!
