A couple of days ago I transplanted 8 pepper seedlings into two large planters in our gated backyard. While transplanting and watering these young plants, I pictured the day that we would be getting fresh peppers. But, at the same time, I felt a sense of foreboding that the young plants might be very tempting to a rabbit that I had recently seen a couple of times in our yard.
And then, oh no! As I opened the patio door I could not believe what I saw. It had happened…one of the new plants was completely disconnected and two of them had lost two-thirds of their leaves. Although I had sensed a warning when I planted the seedlings, I didn’t do anything about it. When my wife, Maria saw how disappointed I was, she said “Just think, you are raising a rabbit, too!” Wow-what a great perception! (That’s why I love and respect her so much!) However, a minute later, as she came in from the patio she then exclaimed: “A bad rabbit!” I just laughed, but she’s still so cute! Thank you, Lord!
