Jeremy Dieterich A Chronicle of My Life

Last night we fixed a yummy recipe that Marci had found:

I'm not sure what it's called or what's in it; I was just responsible for the grilling part.  I do know that the meat was a flank steak and the green stuff is salsa verde.  Oh, and it was delicious.

Anyway, I'm warming up the grill and go inside to get my grilling tools, and who do I find on the deck just feet from the grill?  A little visitor had returned.

He hopped off to a patch of grass near the corner of the fence and watched me while I worked.  A little later I noticed that he was fiddling with a patch of grass, like he was digging or something and stepped closer to investigate.  I got right up on him before I realized what he was doing:

It's hard to see but there's a couple of little squirming shapes down in the hole.  Turns out our Mr. Bunny is actually a Mrs. Bunny and a momma at that!

I went back sometime after she had left and discovered why I hadn't noticed anything before:

She had done a rather meticulous job of covering over her nest with our leftover grass clippings.  Speaking of, I guess I'll have to not mow around that area for a little while until they're old enough to hop away. 

There must be something about our house: we've got a couple of bird nests (here's one:),

This bird sat so still on her nest, Marci thought it was fake.

some rabbits, and a human all nurturing new life.  In fact, here's a shot of two of the mommies:

The bunny doesn't blink for photos, but the human does!
