Bunny "Bath"

It has been way too long since I posted and I am sorry for that. In the last month, we had company for 5 days, finished homeschool, planted our gardens, had a BIG garage sale for 5 days, celebrated my daughter's birthday, went on a trip... and more.... and I already suffer from adrenal and thyroid issues as well as sleep deprivation and a foot that keeps going out of joint, so blogging didn't happen at all. :(   I hope to be regular with it again.

I saw a bunny taking a "bath" out in the garden and took some pictures.....



 He stayed in one place for quite a long time and took his "bath"...
 He even remembered to clean behind his ears.  :) 

All clean!  Now, he will probably go back to snacking in my garden!

Thank you for visiting my blog today.... I hope you have a great day. :)

    How adorable is that!
    Rabbits are a favorite in our home. :-) we are on our third pet rabbit and they sure do make good in door house trained pets. Who would have ever known they could be trained like a cat. Our Lakota has his own potty made just for a rabbit.

    This was a joy to see, thanks for sharing.

    Have a beautiful week.

    So Cute!!! I'm so jealous that you were able to see and photograph a rabbit like this! Living in the city, we don't see rabbits unless we go to the local nature preserve and then they don't let you get close enough for pictures. Thank you for sharing :-)

      I hope he doesn't either... and just this morning I started thinking about maybe fencing in one of the beds to protect the beans, peppers and beets... I'm not sure why he liked those best last year, but he kept us from having them on our table! :) Thank you for visiting.
