Gosh had not had rabbit stew in years my gosh that goes back to Grandma years

We used to hunt rabbits when I was growing up and would make stew out of them.

That was in the 1970s. It was very tasty!

Had to have been back in Wisconsin for me and do not recall Ma making it .. We where with Grandma till we moved to Washington state

Good evening old folk! I'm tired. Wood hauling this morning, intermittent garden work, took some time to fish, started cleaning the back yard and suggested that instead of feeding the cattle dogs and letting them out to do their business, we just take the food and dump it in the back yard and cut out that nasty digestive thing. 5 bags of straw and poo later (spring cleaning) and still more to rake up, I quit and went back to garden work.

We usually have a surplus of rabbits, but not this year. They coyotes and hawks have kept the population down. I haven't seen a one this spring but DH said that he has seen one in the front yard.

I put 'snow fence' that I have cut in half around the garden just in case. So far nothing is eaten...just missing seed and I cannot blame the rabbits on that. Spot came prancing up to me today to show me the huge vole she dug out. Who's the good dog! She got some ice cream tonight as an award. Buck, who supervised, got an egg. Every job needs a supervisor!

If any of you have any extra rain you don't need...send it to Missouri! I'm getting tired of watering the garden!

Any Monty Python fans out there?

Let’s just hope there’s not a white bunny on patrol.

We won't be shooting the rabbits on our property. I have no qualms shooting, cleaning, and cooking rabbit, but not the ones here, unless we are starving, and there's no other option. I'm trying to teach the children to respect wildlife, and learn ways to co-exist, whenever possible.

That was funny. I looked at that picture, and my still-sleepy brain went, "wait a minute. That's a . . . . Oh, right. Wales - of course it is!"

Didja know that rabbits aren't native there, either? But, great picture!
