Rabbits and June Bugs
Just because it is finally feeling like summer, it is not June yet and i do not need to see a June Bug. But apparently, they love tennis courts and thought it was near enough. I hate June Bugs. Its not their size- at least they are big enough to spot usually. Its the sound they make with their wings, and their legs that can stick to anything. You never know where one will show up. I swatted several off the court with my raquet, because i think the sound of squished June Bug is almost as bad as their buzzing (although if it came down to it, i'd squish it). I definately did a bug check after the "game" (term is used very loosely) just in case one thought it should come home with me. Ick. So be warned. They are out, at least at tennis courts in the darker hours.
Rabbits are nothing like June Bugs- they even hatch delicious chocolate and cream filled eggs, but the rabbits in my yard (I have a yard this week and have claimed it as my own) have gone too far. One actually had the nerve to sprawl- yes, SPRAWL out on the grass. One of its legs were up and off to the side. Granted the grass is getting long, and i will have to mow it one of these days- a bunny should never ever expose himself like that. There were two others as well just having a wonderful time in the gardens (the gardens are not mine as i would end up killing all the flowers). It made me so annoyed that i grabbed my cat (he has been meowing to go outside since the night of his adventure when he accidently spent the night outside. Did I mention that we have a neighborhood hawk? ) and charged the rabbits. The one actually had to reposition its leg so that it could sit up. And then they didn't even really move until i was within reaching distance. The cat was no help at all. The rabbits were just as big as he was, and apparently his meow isn't very intimidating. Anyway, later on, i saw two of them frolicking around my yard. Honestly, I swear, the grass is not that long. I only wish I had taken a picture of the one rabbit because i have never in my life seen a rabbit position itself in such a way.
