I have a stumpery next to my backyard pond which is part of a wide border I'm creating around my suburban property where I leave things as natural as I can.
This is where I'm dumping my wild rose branches, some leaves and my Hallowee'en pumpkin etc. This year I've also created a little brushpile in another corner.

This morning I had an early morning visitor. I think this Eastern cottontail rabbit (Sylvilagus floridans) was attracted by the clover I’ve planted all over the lawn. Also, my yard has lots of cover with a culvert in the front yard, and some brush piles, a large stumpery and other messy areas in the back which rabbits need in order to hide from predators.

Ditch that lawn!

A funny reminder that bee hotels and water sources are great but pollinators & other wildlife also need access to natural food sources. I've begun slowly replacing my grass.
