January 21 2021 - Winter Rabbits

 

Bunnies don't hibernate.  I saw one run across the snowy grass early this morning, into my front garden where I expect there is a nest under the bird's nest spruce.  This seems to give this plant a life purpose through its name.

Gardeners do not believe that rabbits primarily feed on grass.  They consider the other ground level plants to be the prime subjects of their culinary choices.  I've watched a potted Chrysanthemum's flowers disappear over the course of November  and have come to the conclusion that this flower is a delicacy.  Rabbits aren't gorgers in my gardens.  Kale disappears over the course of the winter.  Not all at once.  The Sedge plant with its green grassy leaves will be clipped over the course of winter in time for spring. 

Here's one of the frequently asked questions:  Can rabbits live outside in winter?  This makes one curious about where people think rabbits live.

But then, looking at the rest of the frequently asked questions, these seem to be targeted to pet-owning children.  That must be the reason the rest of the questions cluster around rabbits and farts.  In fact, I would expect rabbits are owned by seven-year-old children - that's the fart-loving age. 

Can holding in a far kill you?
There is no evidence that holding in a fart could kill you, though the pain and discomfort doing so causes can be severe.

That would be a relief for children to know they won't die - from not farting or from farting. That probably makes farts funnier to them.

Scrolling through the rabbit jokes - all of them are for  children - so there has to be a fart joke:


What is invisible and smells like carrots?
A rabbit fart.

Today we have some snow motion in the garden.
