The Pumpkin Patch is pretty much all set for the kids to plant the seeds they’ve collected. The weeds are cleared, compost added, and the rabbits have moved in.

Did The Kids Bring One Along?

There’s a nest somewhere in the undergrowth at the bottom of the patch near the waterway occupied by a mother and 3 or 4 young rabbits. I’ve been expecting them to show up. We had 4 or 5 resident rabbits at our old house (plus all the squirrels) and had started joking that we moved to the country to get away from the wildlife.

The kiddos may have a bit of a challenge protecting the young seedlings. Maybe Pip can help when she’s not busy attacking flowers.
