O Dark Thirty

I turned the backyard lights on for no particular reason this morning. I'm up early, it's cold (-3 degrees fondly Fahrenheit), and it's all LED anyway. Sitting on the snow eating french bread left over from the Hair-of-the-Dog party, sat the yard bunny. I do not think the bunny enjoyed the lights.

Food! Glorious Food!
