MOTHER RABBIT PROTECTS HER YOUNG

SEEN THROUGH THE WINDOW AT DUSK

She literally STOOD guard while her babies stayed hidden in the tall grass. There is a nest, for sure! Mona the cat, linked to her chain outside the back door, watched intently but did not charge her. The rabbit was within the radius of her "cable tow." Mona could have nabbed it, but she only watched, as we watched them both through the window.

Either Mona has come to an "at one with the universe" circumspection in her older age, or she saw that the rabbit was armed.

The rabbit numbers, I reflected with another sewer raccoon district neighbor, are rampant around here. He counted five in his back yard yesterday.....
