Garden Girl

Oh & I meant to write about a strange encounter last night in my yard.
Near dusk as I was going out back to collect the recycling & garbage bins to put out for pickup, I came upon a cotton tail bunny near the SE corner of the cottage. She started a bit & scampered off a few feet into my yard, only to freeze out in the open still no more than 4 feet from me. I chided her gently, saying that taking cover really was a better camouflage option than simply freezing after a few short hops.
She merely regarded me.
So, after I collected the trash, I went in & told Mr. Garden Girl about the chance meeting & he went out to see her and she did the exact same thing to him.
He checked for a nest near the house and I did the same thing this morning– nope, no babies.
I wonder what she was up to?
