our neighbourhood hare, who spends entire afternoons snoozing in the back yard, is now an uncomfortable patchwork quilt of brown and white as she grows in her winter coat.

two years ago our resident hare dug herself a soft spot on the front lawn, and sat in it for weeks.

twice a year - in the spring and autumn - she returns to that exact spot and has a good sit for a few days.

she arrived this morning

for the past three years, this hare has spent most of her evenings sleeping in our back yard. she usually sleeps against the chainlink fence, but last week decided that stretching out in the grass like roadkill felt better

there are a pair of neighborhood crows nesting in my back yard. today, one of them found a dry old piece of bread somewhere down the alley and flew over to my lawn with it.

she looked around carefully and dropped it into the eavestrough drain, where some water pooled from an overnight shower.

she flew away for 5 minutes and just came back to eat once it was well soaked 😆
