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.

HAHA! Oh that dastardly Peter!! He's so shifty! Well my suggestion is to lure and capture him and then bring his cute little hyde down here so I can have him!! Or take him over to the cemetery and set him loose.
