Siggy's Blurbs: Siggy's Edge of Country …

I have been feeding the cottontails.  Two days ago I flushed one, which was feeding on the scraps from the fresh Brussels sprouts.  Every day I put out carrots and cut up apples and they are usually gone within twenty-four hours.  I keep checking so I know this for sure.  I like watching the tuft of their tail whenever I flush them as they hop away.

The cottontails keep finding the carrots I put out behind the wood pile.  Twice within twenty-four hours they were gone.  They hang out under the raspberry patch near there.  The first ones we put out were big stalks, then we put out baby carrots.  The stalk of celery is also gone.  The carrots were a little old.  It did not make any difference to the rabbits.  They ate them any way.
