Mrs. Potter has moved in!

Mrs. Potter and her 5 babies have moved in under our flowering crab apple tree.
Thursday morning Brian was in the yard cleaning the turkey he shot. Yuk! Yes, the battle is over! Daisy bought him a little gift, she found a little bunny nest and laid a baby bunny at his feet next to one she had put there seconds before.
The bunnies are small about 4-5 inches and their eyes are not open yet. Daisy was so sweet and gentle the bunnies were unharmed and meowing. Brian put them back in the hole without touching them and contaminating them with human scent. Today they are still there and still making a ruckus! Mama visits in the evening.
Dalia and gladiolus planting has been delayed. :-)

Daisy is a well trained hunter. Don't damage the catch.
Now that you have your turkey can you stop trying?

Love,
Louise

I love Peter Rabbit! I think you should name them all- I love doing that- I will even name cockroaches if I have too.
