These are my old cast iron bunnies, another flea market find. These bunnies stayed out all year this year. At Holloween they were hidden by the scarecrow and gourds. At Christmas they were behind all of the lighted figures.
See the bare patches in the grass? At christmas, the voles that live under the birch take up their winter vacation residence. My lighted figures create a solarium for them. Every year they eat their way through the grass under the ornaments.
Funny story about the bunnies. When I first brought them home DSO thought he would be nice and surprise me by painting them nice and shiny white!!! I guess my expression told him I was not pleased. The next day they were in the original condition, but treated with a clear protective glaze.
Once in a while I find a pile of bunny fur at the base of this tree.
