Leaves emerge


Finally, the leaves of spring have emerged and have survived the cold temps. Some tree are really smart and don't leaf out until late in spring, as you can see in this picture.  Perhaps the tree in the background will sense that it's safe to leaf out by the end of the week.


I wasn't looking at the ground when I was walking out to check the trees.  Suddenly I was stopped in my tracks with the sight of my little rabbit frozen in front of me.  He didn't run; he just froze, hoping I wouldn't notice him at all.  I think he was enjoying eating the green grass and didn't want to "step away from the lunch table."  I slowly backed away, got back in the house for the camera, and returned for a close-up shot.  He hadn't moved a hair.

    I'm sure Mr. Bunny is glad to see "the green" too.

    I've been moving my geraniums in and out of the garage morning and night for a week to avoid the frost. Sure glad to see "normal" Spring temperatures returning this week. My Ash trees have always been late leafers (is that a word?), and they are finally beginning to show tiny leaves.

    Bunnies (or hares that don't move a hair ;-) are a rare sight around here; so fun to see yours.

    Bunny is darling. I was just reading about domestic rabbits in the book on animal grief . I had no idea they are so social and they grieve for their lost fur pals
