A Mary Poppins Yard.


My kids found this nest of baby bunnies pushed up against our sand box. It was a FUN discovery! It brought back some of my favorite childhood memories, we use to raise rabbits and we would pack around baby bunnies like they were our baby dolls.

In the spring a bird nested in our pine tree with her babies. I have to admit unlike the bunnies I had moments when I wanted to throw rocks at the mother. She used the back of our house for a toilet. Everyday I would go out to find about fifteen new poop bombs on our siding and deck but I couldn't bring myself to harm the bird because she was a very diligent mother to her babies and what mother can't appreciate that.

This is our chipmunk house and it doubles as our front porch. It may be a little unsightly but at least it serves a good purpose.

That's cute! Jared has very different memories of those pet rabbits you had as kids. Semi-traumatic memories!

Ya, I'm glad to hear a rabbit story from your childhood that doesn't involve tears. How fun to have all the little wide pets.

What fun pets! My kids are jealous. That's funny that Brock wasn't a fan of fireworks. My kids ignored them and played with glow sticks from Julie.

You're house must be full of princesses: Snow white, sleeping beauty, cinderella.... the animals always know who to follow!
