April Snowshowers bring May Flowers?

 Probably not, but I at least hope May brings me some green grass.  We spent the weekend cleaning up the yard.  I raked leaves and mowed the dead grass, Wyatt and Gus hauled away all my leaves, and Bryant pruned our decorative trees that were starting to interfere with our views.  He also secured the bunny quarters. Yes, I did write down bunny quarters. 

We have the honor of babysitting Jonathon's pet rabbit, Blizzo, for a month.  After two days of playfully playing in the fenced area, Blizzo went AWOL.  For a day or two we tried to convince ourselves it was hiding under the deck or the decorative deck area by the rotted out tree stump, but as time went by it became clear the rabbit wasn't anywhere on our property. 

I put out a neighborhood APB (All Points Bulletin) and on Saturday, there was a Blizzo sighting under the neighbor's shed.  Gus and his friend Trevor, who has at least one of every farm animal imaginable living in their front yard, identified Blizzo and attempted to lure it in its cage with carrots and lettuce.  Finally, Trevor just lunged at it.  The bunny tried to resist arrest and the scratches on Trevor's arm are proof, but Trevor held on and the bunny stayed confined to its cage until its new quarters became secured. 

Trevor's mom loaned us some chicken wire (you have to love hobby farmers; they just have this stuff on hand) and then Bryant blocked off access to one side of the fenced in area where the escape holes were located.  As of a little while ago, Blizzo was happily hopping around the yard.  Fenced in again until it decides to dig down under the fence like a real wild bunny.
