Happy Neighborhood, happy you ...
ReplyDeleteMust have been the Headless Horseman in the pothole, LOL I see most of my rabbits on the bicycle path early in the morning. Unfortunately here I think a lot of the baby bunnies are taken by the wild kitties. You always have a great selection of books.
ReplyDeleteLove the bunny ~ and other critters too ~ sweet photos ~ Hugs ^_^
ReplyDeleteI love your neighborhood. Great shots.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day and rest of the week. Scritches to the kitties. ♥
We have seen a few bunnies so far this spring/summer. We have a couple of neighborhood cats that spend a good deal of their time lounging in our yard or on our porch. Haven't seen any toads. When Mom and Dad used to walk the neighborhood, they always took treats along for the cats they encountered.
