This morning, after posting the Crisp Waffles Recipe
~Chocolate Waffles post (https://jeastofeden.blogspot.com/2022/08/crisp-waffles-recipe-chocolate-waffles.html), my right eye peripheral
vision noticed a quick moving animal scurrying from the neighbor’s carport into
my front yard. Hoping it wasn’t an unwanted nutria or muskrat (Heron Pointe Park
is located near an inaccessible water dike that butts up against the northern edge
of Park premises), I went to my front window and peeked out.
I couldn’t believe what I
was seeing: a wild rabbit!
So, I grabbed the phone and
took a few snapshots, and videos 😊
Wild rabbits are so cute –
and I haven’t seen one since we lived on Merritt Drive on Westside Highway; we
had lively kamikaze rabbits, there that liked to live dangerously by leaping
and diving across the headlight beams highlighting the driveway 😉
I was happy to see this
little fluffy bit of wild nature in my front yard; and I’m hoping it will
not become a beautiful, destructive nuisance (garden, or home destruction).
I ignored that line of thought … and just enjoyed the moment, which
stretched into an hour of voyeur delight 😊
After a bit, it started
getting restless; and hopped into another front flowerbed. I carefully creeped
into the laundry room and removed my flipflops (I did not want a repeat of
falling down the stairs, again! Bare feet are the safest thing on these porch stairs)
before inching the door open, and stealthily padding quietly to the front end
of the house hoping to get a {close up and personal} picture.
I was outside in
my pj’s, sneaking around the corner of my own house; LOL
Watching neighbors were
probably wondering ‘what is the widow doing now’; let them
wonder 😉
((((YES!))))
Thank You,
Yeshua!
That cute little bit of fluff made my fading flowerbeds look peppier than they are; blossoms are drying, leaves are starting to fall from overhead tree branches, and the river breeze has a little Fall nip to it, recently. We had no Spring to speak of this year, and the Summer has been short.
Rabbits are considered “a
lucky sign” in many cultures. A rabbit seen in the wild is seen as a positive –
and having one cross your direct path is considered lucky: good luck in
love and family, abundance and prosperity, intuition/spontaneity/and wittiness
are all associated with seeing a rabbit.
The lifespan of a wild rabbit is around 9 years. Rabbits spend most of their short life within the same 10-acre area. Relocating rabbits confuses them, causing them to get hit by cars or be killed by unfamiliar predators.
As long as this little rabbit behaves itself and doesn't cause property damages, I'll be okay with it sharing my town lot.
Aww how lovely to see a wild rabbit and be able to spend time watching it. We spotted a wild rabbit along the verges when we were driving home from a local environment centre recently and my daughter was delighted to see it. #WotW
