Peter Rabbit appears

Way last February before the snow had begun to melt, I saw a little rabbit out by the shed. I assumed he had been seeking shelter in the shed and was lucky that the owl had not attacked him. Then yesterday morning as I was doing dishes I noticed him again. He was hopping his way across the back yard, nibbling a dandelion here and a little grass there. He continued right over to the garden where he investigated the new onions and carrots. I beat it out there before he discovered the peas, but before I could even clear the deck he had scooted under the playhouse and disappeared. I felt like Mr. Macgregor, hunting Peter up and down the garden. I think he got through the fence and escaped through the field. The big question now is what do I do about him, and how many brothers and sisters does it have? Camille suggested we may have to try and trap him and remove him, others were looking for a gun. I hope he thinks better of his ways and stays away from the garden.
