Guests, Rabbits and Bulbs

Over the last several weeks we have been happy to have some overnight visitors at our acreage. We have a hide a bed couch in the garage and a 5^th wheel trailer for guests to use, along with several air mattresses if they would rather stay in the house. All of them enjoyed the quiet and the faraway views out here.

I noticed recently I had not seen any of our ever-present rabbits since discovering the mangled corpse of one a few weeks ago. I was wondering if something was clearing them out when, of course, the very next night I spotted one run behind the machine shed.

I have been slowly winterizing around the place and putting away flower pots and tomato cages, mowers and chairs. It can be a bit of a melancholy chore, thinking about what is coming next. But on the bright side we planted some peony bulbs along the front yard that Shelly got from a friend, so we will be anticipating their blooming in the spring.
