RABBIT SEASON.
Strangely enough, Jesse has a history with catching rabbits with his bare hands. After an incident at Bugtussle where he hopped off a tractor and snagged a bunny, he now chases after each and every rabbit we encounter with the hopes of repeating this miraculous feat. Well, yesterday, while I was down at the house writing a letter (hello Kristen!) I got a call from Jesse – “Hurry! Come up to the garden!” I rushed up the hill to find a little baby bunny in a bucket! Jesse had seen it while mowing, jumped off the tractor, and scooped it up! And as if this wasn’t weird enough…later, when back at the house, I heard a knock at the sidedoor and there stood Jesse – with ANOTHER bunny!It was pretty adorable getting to play with these little babies, especially since our rabbit Reba did NOT have her little ones. We don’t know if the breeder lied about her being pregnant, if they were simply mistaken, or if she has some complications…but her “kindling” date has come and gone. So, we will simply try again. And since rabbit gestation is only about 25 days – we shouldn’t have to wait very long!- Hannah.
