"When we had our children, our ideas changed somewhat. Thenceforward we lived only for them; they made all our happiness and we would never have found it save in them. In fact, nothing any longer cost us anything; the world was no longer a burden to us. As for me, my children were my great compensation, so that I wished to have many in order to bring them up for Heaven" -- Saint Zelie Martin, mother of St. Therese of Lisieux, canonized October 18, 2015 along with her husband St. Louis Martin.

Baby Bunnies

There was a discovery in our yard this morning after Mass.  Remember the "rabbit hole" I posted earlier this summer? Well…it looks like it wasn't vacated after all (as I had thought).  Arwen discovered them out on our lawn and gathered them into a bowl with a towel. Thank heavens she thought to get gloves! (I think I'll be getting myself a new pair of gardening gloves…as "cute" as they are…ew!)

So, what do you think? "Cute" or "Ew"?



Ok, I think this one is precious. 


If they survive a few more days, I'm sure my resident photographer will have more for me to share with you.  We aren't sure if the mother is around, so we put them back in their hole for safety.  If the momma bunny shows up, they should be ok. If not, the local wildlife rescue will take them. We made Arwen call herself. It was a great little learning experience for her, working with the humane society to learn how best to handle the situation.  …learning all the time…:)
