He Insisted So
Getting outside to do my garden routine early this morning, I found this individual in the middle of the walkway right outside the door. Seeing me, he froze with a mouthful of Garden Phlox. When asked, he insisted that he found it. Claimed that he didn’t chew anything off. He also insisted that it wasn’t him that had eaten my chrysanthemum by the patio.
Since I didn’t see him actually nab the flowers off the plants, I had to accept his claim of innocence although I wasn’t sure I believed him. Later this evening, he tried to prove himself by staying in the lawn and munching only on broadleaves. So I let him be.

Poor thing, clearly framed.
Ok, but he’s Bernie Bunny, not Roger Rabbit.
He looks pretty sweet. Probably took the flowers off he ground :-).
That’s what he claimed. Swore it wasn’t him.
Oh, well. With eyes and fur like that, I guess no one wants to blame him anyway :-).
Yes, we let him get away with it. He even has his siesta place under the bush, right next to our patio.
He looks a bit dodgy to me 😉
I guess you don’t buy his carefully composed innocent face.
I know bunnies too well 😉
That is the greatest picture and story!
I should have created a wanted poster of this guy and posted it around the neighborhood. He’s eating all my Aster now but I have no time to protectively net them until I have another day off.
