Somebunny surprised me

You might recall some posts about the bunny living under the boardwalk in my yard; the bunny has been insistent on staying inside the fence and hasn't been particularly afraid of me.  I called him Peter Cottontail around Easter time.  Since the weather has turned cold, snowy/rainy, and windy, I haven't seen much of this bunny and the others that live at the wood pile for several days.  I was away over the weekend, and I was looking forward to catching fresh glimpses of the bunnies as they nibbled the new grasses that are coming up.  

Monday morning I took a look out the window above the computer, just to see if Peter Cottontail was up to coming out into the sun for a mid-morning snack on fresh grasses.  Yep, I could see his ears.  Wait a minute!!  More ears?  Little, short ears??  Baby bunnies???  I could see two sets of little ears.  No, three.  I grabbed the binoculars.  Four??? Four sets of little bunny ears?  These little ones were huddled in the shade, very close to the entrance of their home.  They were a bit difficult to see, but I definitely saw four little bunnies.  Peter...umm, I mean Penny Cottontail has surprised me!  And today she was letting the little ones out into the sunshine and the world beyond the den.  

I watched them for probably 15 minutes...and I couldn't help but be tickled by their antics.  They are so cute.
