The Adventures of Mowing

I'm sure many of you were surprised by the title of this blog, rest assured Bryan and I do not think of mowing as an adventure, but rather a long exhausting task since our lot is huge and we do not have a riding lawnmower.  Because it has rained so much the last couple of weeks we hadn't been able to mow in awhile and needless to say our grass was rather long.  So, as I am making my homemade salsa with ingredients out of my garden :), Bryan was mowing.  And, suddenly he is rushing into the house because he mowed over a nest of 6 baby rabbits, at first I thought he was joking, but he wasn't.  None were injured, but now we had to figure out what in the world to do with these rabbits that were in the middle of our yard.  Surprisingly the dogs had not noticed them yet, but they would for sure now since there nest had been messed with.  After calling all our parents and getting conflicting suggestions from them all we decided to cover them for the rest of the evening and uncover when we are going to bed and hope that the momma bunny will move the nest tonight.  Otherwise we'll have to go to plan B or C.....

Bryan trying to figure out what we are going to do (and yes the tree in the background is the leaning tree of the Dinkel-Morris ranch, that's another task on our to-do list)

This one kept crawling out of the nest and was basking in the sun...hopefully my scent didn't get on it....

Our solution for today and hopefully they'll have moved in the morning.
