Cows, Sheep, and ... Bunnies!

Always something exciting going on at the schoolhouse ranch. A couple weeks ago, we discovered a nest of Wren eggs, and we've been researching and following their growth. The cows and sheep have been making their way over to our pasture and have been busy eating. They always migrate over together in a large herd and leave the same way. There are a few calves too.

Today, as I was tending to our garden after school was over, Violet was squatting down in front of the garden and excitedly called out, "A bunny! There's a bunny!" Thinking I misunderstood her, I casually walked over, and to my surprise, there was indeed a baby rabbit hiding behind a pallet! After lots of oooohs and awwwws, Mr. Steve noticed there were more burrowed under their nest (which we thought was trash that accumulated in the garden bed). There were five in all! The children (and Ms. Andrea) had the hardest time restraining themselves from touching/trying to pick them up, but we knew we had to because of mama rabbit. We don't want her to think we are predators.

Now for a collective, "Awwwww!"
