August 25, 2014.
It's been a while since I've written, but this morning found more good news in the yard ... Terry says, "hurry, get your camera!" Excited I immediately wake up, and fumble for my camera. Terry leads me to the front porch and points to a tiny hole in the ground under the tree. "Bunnies, there! he says."
I finally see Mama, she pops her head out of the burrow. I get lucky and get a closeup, before my first cup of coffee. He says, "wait, there's more..."

Mama bunny peers outside...

"More?" My mind still sleepy questions, "Bunnies?? As in more than one?! Where?" I try not to frighten the mama, as I sneak closer, and my heart is probably beating as fast as mama bunny. My eyes adjust and I begin to see...more...
 |
baby bunnies? ! |
This is a first! We see bunnies every day bounding and bouncing in the fields,,, but, a nest, outside our front door?
 |
they awaken! |
I'm afraid to breathe, to move or snap a picture... not wanting to frighten mama and her new babies.
 |
a couple heads, a leg... |
 |
FOUR?

I begin to feel like a voyeur, and decide to slowly creep back onto the porch and give the little guys their privacy. Terry takes off for work saying "have fun!" Not bad for a Monday morning.
