An Occasional Visitor

For the past couple weeks, we've had an occasional visitor in our yard - not every evening, but maybe 3-4 nights a week. We've noticed that he comes around sometime in the early evening. We've begun calling him "Mr. Bun Bun."

(Note: the photos are kinda lousy, but I was taking them through the window so I wouldn't scare him away). 

At first, I thought it was injured because it was just lying around, with its sides heaving. Andrew thought that perhaps it was a "she" and maybe was carrying babies . . . or maybe it had a nest of new babies hidden somewhere under the deck.

We haven't seen any babies around, so maybe it's just coming around to eat the grass. 

He always happens to plop himself down in the same spot in the lawn, each time he visits. When one of us sees him, we say, "Mr. Bun Bun's here!" Liv is always so excited when he comes by.
