We lost three baby rabbits this afternoon. We think it was the heat. We do our best to keep them cool, but sometimes their little fur coats are too much for our mini Seattle heat waves.
We also lost two corn stalks this afternoon. We think it was from a passerby. Generally, the teenagers (skatepark/park foot traffic) and neighbors walking up and down our streets are respectful, but today's loss hurt. I took it personally. I planted that corn, loved it, watered it, cared for the soil, and it was carelessly chopped down to a nub. It makes me really sad, but I suppose a bit of vandalism is expected with an open garden like the one we have. I just hope they stop at two.
