My Own Personal Easter Bunny

Yup, I have my own personal Easter Bunny! I've shown you this little rabbit before. It was sitting in this exact same spot. It seems that this is her favorite spot to sit every evening just before the sun sets. And yes, I said "her" favorite spot.

I'm suspecting that this little bunny is a girl, or more so a little mother rabbit. She's sitting next to a place in that wall behind her where she has a hole she sneaks into. That hole is the front door to her nest where I believe there are little baby rabbits hiding inside. I've been wondering if I'll be lucky enough to see them one of these days.

She has actually been living here since last winter and maybe even longer. I kept seeing her tracks in the snow all over my yard. They would be everywhere from the back to the front, and even all around my truck. Maybe she would sometimes go under there to get warm.

I think she's furry enough that she didn't need that warm place, but it was probably a nice luxury sometimes, plus it made a good place to hide when she was out. Her hole is probably just as warm for her in the winter. She's obviously a fat healthy little thing. She doesn't need it, but I've tossed food to her a few times.

I hadn't seen her in a few days, but I still planned on writing my post today about her. Even so, she came out a few hours before I wrote this post just to remind me that she was still there, and maybe so I would remember to show you all my latest pictures of her. She also brought me a present!

Here they are! And I bet you all thought there was no real Easter Bunny! There really is an Easter Bunny, and she lives in my yard! Again, yup, I said she! I'm telling you the Easter Bunny is really a girl! Think about it. Santa Claus is a man, so the girl Easter Bunny should get an equal opportunity. I like the name Peter Cottontail, but maybe Betty Bunny is just as fun.

And I'll tell you what else. My girl Easter Bunny gives bigger eggs. Those are goose eggs in that picture. That other guy only gives those little chicken eggs. Hooray for Betty Bunny, and Happy Easter!

  3. I just knew there was a real easter bunny! You probably won't see her around today given she must be incredibly busy!

    Happy Easter to all.

  8. Well that is very exciting. I still say you should put a little dish of food out there for her. They make rabbit pellets. But don't leave it out there all the time because then you will attract other animals. Can't wait to see the babies.
    Happy Easter to you and the Bunny.
