Cottontail

Before the last big snowstorm I had used up all of my apples but one.  It had begun to go bad and for whatever reason I put it on the wooden bench just outside my door.  When I looked after the storm the apple was gone.  The winds had been strong but I couldn't see where the apple had rolled off though I did see rabbit tracks.  As an experiment I put some of my homemade dried apple chips in the same spot.  They were gone the next morning.  I did the same the next night w/ the same results.  I tried cranberries and they were all gone except one that I found wedged in a crack.  Then the little fella came out at twilight to see who was providing the extra grub. I know feeding rabbits is not a good idea.  But I found myself getting some veggies to munch on when I went grocery shopping and the celery sticks, which I don't prefer, are out on the bench tonight.
