It's wild bunny season in the Santa Monica mountains. We're seeing them everywhere we go. And here at Casa de LOUD!, the bunnies come to us. This is one of two daily visitors. Their appetites -- they don't care for lavender, salvia, or impatiens -- have had a direct influence on the evolution of the flower beds in the rear courtyard. I've also found that if we put down a few trimmings from the backyard tree, even the violas and petunias and coleus are left in peace.
