Hare

.




Many small mammals call my garden home, among them, a clan of hares. Hares are born above ground in a flattened area called a form. They are born furry with good vision and can fend for themselves within a few days of birth.



Last week, beside the path to the concrete bench, I noticed a square patch of bare earth among the leaf litter and Virginia creeper. Upon inspection, I noticed a shallow cavity at one end. I looked inside but no animal was nesting there. Then my soaker hose caught my eye. An animal had chewed through the recycled rubber of the hose.




The following day, the leaf litter was returned to the space. I walk up the path every morning, hoping to catch a glimpse of baby hares in the nest, but I have never seen them.

It is so lovely to have wild life close to your house. The only thing is when they grow, they can make quite a damage to your plants :-) Thanks for this post!

It is lovely to have wildlife so close to you. I live in South Africa and here wildlife can often be found close to home.

I had a gopher and his family living in my beautiful flower garden in Colorado. The babies were very cute, but when they grew up, they caused a lot of damage. They burrowed so close to the foundation that the concrete started sinking. Cute and wonderful as they are, be careful of the expensive damage they can cause.

Portland Lawn Service

Most grass only requires 1-1.5 inches of water per week. This will moisten the soil 4-6 inches below the surface on clay soil and about 8-10 inches for sandy soils. Sometimes over-watering your lawn can cause more damage than under-watering.

The hares do damage to the yard, but we don't live in the world alone. My Cherokee ancestors always allowed space and food for the animals. They keep the land in pretty good shape for the shape it's in.

My ancestors would have been proud of your attitude and appreciation of the animals that live in your world.

Wow! so cool. Indeed, it is very relaxing to have wild life near the house. But, if I'm not mistaken, when they expand, It can damage some living things.
