The Happiest Bunny on the Block

Apparently the Happiest Bunny on the Block likes the tastes of fresh spring hostas...

Either the dark green ones aren't as good, or our little garden guy bops her on the head with his shovel whenever she gets close...she' left the nibbling on these hostas to the slugs.

It's a good thing she's a cute little rascal...

Most of the time she stays close to her house.  We usually call her house "the woodpile."

I'm calling her a "she" because she's a little portly & we suspect she's nesting in the safety of her new home.

 But she sure is causing a lot of trouble around here!  Remember the lovely job Shane did planting the blueberries & strawberries?

Apparently, they were very, very good strawberries and blueberries!

That ornery thing gobbled up all the fruit and all the leaves on the strawberry plants...

And virtually the same on the blueberry bushes!

In a last-ditch effort to save the poor little plants, we took a trip to Lowe's.  After we found some supplies, Shane whipped up this little fence (with a little help from me)...

We planted a few more strawberry plants so they can be our "test" to see if she can get through the fence or not.

I'm pretty sure he would have preferred it if I had let him turn her into bunny soup!

At least she doesn't eat roses.

Or at least she hasn't eaten them yet. Without access to the berry plants, who knows where she'll turn for her next meal!
