We found a baby bunny nest in our yard, just a few feet away from the front porch.
 |
| The nest... |
 |
| We had to move them to the porch to safety so we could mow the yard. |
 |
| We worried about the mama rabbit not returning to care for them, but she did. The nest has been rebuilt each morning. |
 |
| Remember the torrential downpour at about 9:30 Thursday morning? I called Larry and asked him to construct some kind of structure to protect them, since their nest is very shallow and we worried it would fill with water. AC's picnic table umbrella made the perfect shelter. |
 |
| The bunnies actually crawled out of their nest immediately after as if to say, "thank you!" |
 |
| Anna Claire is so sweet to the babies. |
 |
| We knew from reading about cottontails that they would be able to care for themselves at 14 days, and could likely run off. So day 13, we held and pet them and said our fairwells. |
 |
| Precious baby bunnies. I am seriously getting attached. |
