Shovel Part 2

My happiness over the broken shovel didn't last long. That insane store that's selling seed for five cents a pack had SHOVELS on sale too! Obviously, they're wanting to keep their bunny shoppers nice and happy and hard at work on planting, and obtaining more seeds for planting. Anyway, the bunnies got a new shovel, and when they replace the handle on the other one, they will have two large shovels. I shudder to think of the digging they will manage then!

Shovel

On the upside, something good did come out of the rabbits digging the bean patch. They BROKE the good shovel! The handle cracked while they were hopping and tugging at it to try to get a stubborn bit of dirt loose. Now they've got to lag it down to the hardware store to get the handle replaced. Hopefully that means their digging and planting will be limited until they do. They broke the handle of one of their little hand shovels too, so they're seriously down tools. I can only hope that they won't have replacement handles in when the bunnies go to look for them, so the digging can be restrained for a bit longer. Goodness knows, they can't be allowed to dig with just their paws. Even with the shovels, they were filthy when they came in, and there are now bunny shaped rings of dirt all over the bathtub.

More Squash

The rabbits planted two bowls of something rather alarming in the squash family today. I'm starting to get concerned. They've almost filled their second bed full of squash and they're talking about digging another bed, or possibly expanding their second one to hold more of their plants. How worried should I be? They already dug up a ton more space in one of their beds this evening, and they're talking about digging even more bright and early in the morning. I wonder if I would have time to hide their little shovels before sunrise? They're making plans to put in beds for the beans very soon, and then possibly a nice, shady bed location for a ton of lettuce.

The Mountains' Doom Approaches

I just got an email from my siblings, and they are about to depart for the mountains. Do you suppose it's a terrible sign that the bunnies found a place that offers reasonably priced, bunny sized shovels? There are 14 rabbits on this trip, and I shudder to think what they could do should they all have shovels! It's bad enough that Betsy cleared out the hotel honey supply at the graduation hotel.
