Your garden, as seen on Pear Tree Log, looks idyllic and I'm quite envious. We are lucky enough to have a rabbit proof fence down at our plot, but unfortunately, this doesn't stop the voles who tunnel under anything we value and eat everything we like - grrrr!Choclettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00173996730095174268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1708518049468373822.post-33099207233770224152012-05-14T11:24:47.998+01:002012-05-14T11:24:47.998+01:00We had a week of rain here in Massachusetts as wel...We had a week of rain here in Massachusetts as well.

So it's yo...Enjoy yourself in Spain, me duck! <br /><br />So it's your fault we haven't been able to buy more rain butts. It has been so dull, cold and damp - no wonder we all feel flat and in need of sun. Unfortunately the cats keep bringing baby rabbits home. I managed to rescue one (thinking about my vegetables, I must confess) and couldn't believe how loudly it screamed at me when I picked it up to put it back into the field...mind you, it was rivalled by the racket the cat made at being denied her snack.Elainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18218332259187330304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1708518049468373822.post-39872058940077378572012-05-10T15:11:11.243+01:002012-05-10T15:11:11.243+01:00Rabbits have been making holes all over our lawn. ...Rabbits have been making holes all over our lawn.

The rain around our immediate environs makes me question the sanity of the planners responsible for the pipeline that is streaking across Lincolnshire to take water from Covenham Reservoir to Boston and beyond. Had they simply dug an open ditch instead of burying a pipeline it would have filled any new soutern reservoir that they cared to build ... moreover, we might have floated baskets of captive crop-eating rabbits and slugs down it; forced relocation at zero cost.The Owl Woodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11484484539144369129noreply@blogger.com
