Baby Bunnies Update

We've been watching these cute little guys all week. Baby bunnies grow so fast! They are really becoming too cute and I have this overpowering urge to pet them. Somehow, I manage to control my urge because we've seen Mumma Bunny around the yard constantly the past 4 or 5 days. She's always somewhere nearby and she doesn't startle very easily. It's not been easy, but we've managed to distract Theo from "looking for bunnies". He has chased her thru the fence a couple of times, but she comes right back. As for that mean old crow, he's still scoping out the place, but keeps his distance.

See Mumma Bunny!

What a cute little thumper that baby bunny has on him, huh?! So precious. These little guys just squirm and squirm around getting cozy with eachother. In other baby animal news, Mr. & Mrs. Robinson (robins--birds) came back again this year and built their nest under the shelter of the roof overhang, on top of our patio spot light (which is broken). We saw Mrs. Robinson up there in her nest a couple times, then saw her sitting over on the fence looking quite plump. Not sure if she's layed her eggs yet, but we haven't seen her around lately. I hope The Robinson's didn't scare away from Mumma Bunny hanging in the yard all day. We'll see... Last year we had a cookout get-together and the baby Robinson's all decided to leave the nest that afternoon. It was amazing to watch.

Other than our baby animals in the backyard excitement, the Schwandt household is holding up. We keep wishing on winning that lottery so we don't have to go to work... Oh, and Tom had quite the experience at work the other night. The car wouldn't start (to go home), so he and his car-pool buddy from Oshkosh, hitched a ride with one of the other guys home that night (1am). After talking to his car guru buddy, we figured it was the started, because they tried to jump it with no luck. So the next night at work, Tom and some guys went out and lifted the car up from the front with a forklift and one of them went under their to tap on something to advance the starter thingy (real technical here people...). Then the car started right up! Anyways, we have to get a new starter, cuz that problem could happen again...and you are not seeing this girl dealing with that. Anyways, I just had to laugh at the whole forklift thing. I can just see these guys at work and someone had the brilliant idea. Well... it worked at least! hahaa!

This weekend I'm planning to go get dirt and flowers to plant my pots by the door and hanging baskets along the fence. The new perennial garden we put in last year is starting to come up, so I'm excited to see everything bloom this year and even more next year. I'll take more pics as things come up, but for now here is one of my tulip varieties. I also have bright yellow and bright red, but this mix color is my favorite :)
