had fun finding a few columbine plants with flowers that the bunnies haven’t discovered yet…
they are both in the raised pond bed and kind of hidden;-)…
they should be fine, even if discovered, as the bunnies seem to prefer the leaves, not the flowers;-)…

a delightful day in the garden… the weather was perfect… sunny, but not too hot…
I moved around the garden, following the shade and reading my book;-)…
although, there were constant interruptions as sparrows, squirrels, and bunnies kept me looking up from my reading…
the sparrows have dug holes in the spaces between the stepping stones along the edge of the pond… two or three of them are at least an inch or so deep… the birds really enjoy dust baths…
one squirrel spent ages trying to figure out how to get to the seeds in the squirrel-proof feeder…
happily it never figured it out…
not sure if there were one or two bunnies, lol… one spent quite some time under the bird feeder amongst the iris leaves scoffing down any fallen seeds…
and maybe the same one, or another, having a nap in the grass…
lovely to have so much activity in the space…

while I was on a phone call, I looked out the window to see two bunnies…
one climbed up the front steps and I caught it on the way down, lol…
from there it went into the flower bed and ate the morning glory plant that had popped up in the mulch… happy it was one of the “wild” ones, lol…
then the two of them headed to the other side of the yard looking for treats…
a few minutes later a third one turned up…
what fun out the window;-)…

often, now as I lay in bed at night, I listen to the frogs at the creek croaking their little hearts out…
it is quite lovely to hear and reminded me that I needed to move the camera – which was facing the driveway for the winter – back to its spot on the deck, facing the pond…
made the move today, after I charged the battery…
it will be interesting to see if it catches those bunnies that have been tearing around the garden at night, lol…

fun to watch the garden after the snowfall to see any fresh trails…
the bunnies have been busy…
even caught some through the window into the neighbour’s yard… their trails are made by dogs, not bunnies…

have added sweeping the stepping stones to my morning routine…
the darn birds and bunnies continue to have dust baths and since I have been barefoot outdoors for the last while, the clumps of dirt are irritating my feet, lol…

this morning as I was sitting in the garden quietly reading my book, birds, squirrels and bunnies wandered through…
they are used to me sitting out there and don’t really mind me particularly as they pretty much know that I have no plans to hurt them…
although this morning I was a little miffed with the squirrels because they have figured out a way to get onto the two bird feeders that I thought were safe from them, sigh…
but all in all, a wonderful garden sanctuary;-)…

the bunnies have been out for a while…
the first one turned up on March 21st, with mini eggs alongside it…
since then every couple of days another bunny has joined the group…
in between, the mini eggs have come and gone, lol…
they are so cute…
and have certainly added a touch of fun to the space…
the final bunny turned up on Saturday to complete the colony;-)…
this morning the Happy Easter sign turned up with a few items for the other boys…
and I caught a photo of the Easter Bunny resting up in the garden after their busy night;-)…
bunnies everywhere…
