Backyard bunny

Ever since my husband and son spread compost throughout our backyard, which includes Bunjie's litter, a strapping little brown bunny has moved in. Maybe he smells our late bunny in the garden so he has decided we are rabbit-friendly people. But the most interesting thing is, he appears just a couple of feet behind me every time I hang my clothes out to dry on the thick yellow chord that stretches across our yard. He has gotten so close that I have almost stepped on him. I can't believe how friendly he is, and how interested he is in watching me hang the clothes on their bright colored pegs. He hops behind me then disappears into our herb garden, where I know he sits under leaves of thyme.
