When I picked the clump up, I saw about 5 little newborn animals, pale grey, stirring blindly in a nest. I was a little surprised, as it is late summer, and a little scared, because I thought at first: mice? rats? I put the grass back on top and jumped out of the garden. But then my husband said he saw a rabbit leap out of our garden this morning and it rushed up to 2 more rabbits\u00a0 like they were having an emergency meeting.<\/p>\n<p>This chance observation makes me guess those little babies are rabbits! I hope they will be okay as it gets colder now at night. The mom rabbit is obviously smart to have chosen a good safe garden for her home.\u00a0 And I now have to be careful where I step! What will it be like when five baby rabbits are jumping around my garden and are too little to escape? This, folks,\u00a0 is going to be an interesting harvest season&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My son in his beloved wildflower garden and bird sanctuary, which is only 20 minutes away from our house.
