Creatures

I've really been noticing all the creatures lately, and the chaos they leave behind. I finally had to move my two bird feeders that have been hanging over the front porch. It was a great place for bird watching, but a bad place for bird poop. So between the seed droppings and the bird droppings, I gave up on that particular location. It was an awful mess!

One of the bird feeders ended up hanging from an iron post in the flower garden, so the seed pieces just fall to the ground. I watched for a long time last night and saw the bunny eating the cracked corn that hits the ground from the feeder. During the few minutes I was watching the garden, I saw a bunny, lots of little birds running around unperturbed by the rabbit, and a black mouse scurrying around the day lilies.

I like creatures; I do. But I do have my limits. I am assuming that it is the bunny that has eaten the tops off of my bean bushes in my garden, which will now fail to produce beans. Actually, we had some lovely lettuce from the garden for dinner tonight. I can truly say that we are growing our own food!

But the bunny left behind a generous pile of bunny poop in the yard! How ungrateful can a creature be!

Bunnies are cute; but not when the leave poop and eat my beans! Of all the nerve!
