After approximately one year of #détente, my extremely #uptight #neighbour is on the warpath again. Today she yelled at me that there are 24 - she counted! - #jackrabbits living in the green space behind our yards, and that over the winter they ate half her bushes, and it's my fault because I like #rabbits.

I don't quite follow the logic - the green space is flood-control and runs west to farmers' fields - but clearly I have been a #Bad Neighbour.

And you definitely can't count all the jacks.

today on our walkies we got to see TWO black-tailed jackrabbits and everyone survived!
