It’s tough to write about gardening during a Canadian winter. Most of the time I feel like my posts about snow and rabbits and Ontario back yard wildlife will be achingly dull. Then I remember that some of you don’t live in this climate and may even find visions of snow drifts fascinating. At least, that is what I am hoping for on this snowy Sunday morning as I post yet another photo montage of snow and bunnies. And cats.
A couple of days ago one of our resident rabbits ventured out from its nest beneath our deck in search of a tasty morsel. Since there were no tasty morsels to be found (I refuse to set out rabbit food for them in the winter…they need no more encouragement to stay), the rabbit found bird seed scattered beneath the feeder we keep outside the kitchen door. Our two cats, Rudy and Farley, like to sit at that window and chatter to the birds they see flitting about the feeder and hopping along the ground, feeding. I get as much entertainment out of watching the cats as the cats get out of watching the birds, I think.
The cats were absolutely enthralled with the rabbit visiting the side yard and excitedly dashed from side door to back window in hopes of getting a little closer.
Rudy kept smooshing his face up against the window…
…but the rabbit just sat there quivering.
