What's left of my "destruction", won't be much good for anything, at least for probably another year.

Here's something interesting, something I have never seen before. I was busy removing the leaf mulch from my garlics and from that asparagus plant the other day and while removing the leaves over the asparagus, I found wads of soft, gray fur mixed in with patches of dead grass. Humm, I thought to myself, what in the world? As I began to remove that fur/grass there was movement below it. There were four baby rabbits there, about 4-5" long, ears still flat and eyes still unopened. I carefully covered them back up, put another (not thick) later of leaves over them, and let them be. I really don't prefer to have them in my raised garden and asparagus, but I couldn't bring myself to kill the little things. I will let them grow large enough to live on their own, whenever that is, and let me move out of the garden on their own. I think I found the small entrance the mother rabbit found and will close that up tight when the family have moved.

I just love being outdoors. Hurray!

The reason it's so hard to lose weight when you get up in age is because your body and your fat have become good friends.
