More incentive to establish a garden

We stayed with Vince’s brother on Saturday night. His daughter had a barbecue for her 48th birthday and we had an enjoyable time there. I gave her a number of single-bed sheets that I can no longer use. She and her husband have four boys and a small house so, unlike many of the kids I know, they have single beds rather than double.
Vince’s brother recently lost his wife so I came home with a lot of wool that I’ll make into beanies or somesuch. They’ll be given to a charity. My BIL has a really pretty garden with a lot of natives but also a lot of flowering annuals. Also hiding in the garden was a rabbit. It seems he has escaped from somewhere and doesn’t have a home so he roams the neighbourhood. I thought he was cute but it seemed he does a bit of damage in the garden and his visits aren’t really appreciated.

Everything looks great there. Even the rabbit, Rabbits dont like the smell of marigolds or hot peppers

@JudyEv I watched a young bunny hopping around my garden a few years ago. It got curious and hopped over to the marigold. One sniff and it was gone on a hard run

@wolfgirl569 Isn't that odd? That it should take off like that.

Poor little rabbit. His visits aren't appreciated because of the damages in the garden.

@jobelbojel Yes, the rabbit plays havoc with some of the plants.

It would be very difficult to catch him so I guess he'll just hang around the garden.

I feel sorry for that rabbit. At least other good things happened, right?

What a cute bunny and if he damages the garden I’m pretty sure his visits aren’t appreciated at all.

The garden plants look nice. Tell your brother-in-law to plant marigolds along the fence or where ever the rabbit is coming in at. Rabbits don't like the smell of marigolds.

Rabbits are good to eat, you know... And that bunny looks good and fat, too.

@DocAndersen With the thicker wools, I can make larger beanies for children with cancer.

Pretty flowers and rabbits. Your sheet comment has me thinking about my mom. She was breaking into a sweat trying to put a sheet on the bed, when she realized it was a full sized sheet and they have a queen bed. Now that sounds like something I would do..

I break out in a sweat too from time to time. I have a sheet which really ought to fit but it is a major effort each time. Maybe it has just shrunk a fraction. When I was growing up there were no fitted sheets but they make making a bed so much easier.

@JudyEv I had to stop using this thick mattress pad I had on the bed as when it was on, the sheets never fit right.

Poor bunny just needs a home. He was probably hoping that your brother-in-law would add a little hutch for him.
