bunny baby in the front lawn.
teeny tiny bunny (palm sized)
everything's gone brown around here, little rain and hot days are the worst i've seen in seven summers here. so i'm trying to rescue a small ornamental tree in front (i think it's too little too late), and as i'm examining the water flow around the tree, one underfoot lump didn't feel right - no wonder ! poor little guy (girl?), got tromped on by an ogre. he seemed to have come through the experience all right, just seeming a tiny bit shaken and mostly sleepy, not to mention a little bit wet. good thing i wasn't mowing the lawn.
i just went out and checked; apparently i flooded a nest - he's got two siblings sticking their noses out of the water filled fluff- & moss-lined hole. i hope they aren't standing on top of any brothers or sisters. and where's mom ?
i'll let the bunnies fend for themselves. they can move out of the water if they want. the tree, on the other hand... well, you know.
