Highlight of My Day

Just to fill you in a little bit on what my life is like here...

I water my MIL's garden every day. Today while I was watering, I was listening to my ipod (The Last 5 Years, if you were wondering) and singing along, serenading the sheep. I was watering the cantaloupe when I looked down and saw something small and furry hiding in the middle of the plant! I dropped some water on it to make it move, thinking it was a gopher (because there are gopher holes all over). The small furry thing moved out of the middle of the plant and into a less foliage dense area and I saw that it was a little baby bunny! The baby bunny just sat there, terrified I'm sure, and stared at me. I looked around to make sure the Lucy dog was no where near and then called for D to come see this tiny, oh-so-cute, baby bunny! He came, looked, admired a bit, then went back to studying. I kept watering, so as not to frighten the baby bunny, who at this point I'm sure has been abandoned. I mean, this baby bunny is tiny! And I couldn't find a burrow hole anywhere nearby.

Then Grandma comes walking down. She heard me out singing and thought she'd come say hello. So I show her the baby bunny too! She is now worried about the owls (oh yes, I live next door to 2 huge barn owls) getting the bunny. But, never fear Grandma, the owls sleep during the day so for now the bunny is safe.

I went back to take pictures of my little baby bunny hiding in the cantaloupe. I would share them with you, but I still can't find my camera cord. So...use your imagination!

And yes, seeing this baby bunny has been the highlight of my day. :)
