Our little warren got surprising visitors: bun-pilgrims on their way to Bunnybury! Tired and skittish, they saw the magic garden sparkles and hopped closer to inspect. Espresso was — as usual — the one familiar with manners and etiquette and welcomed the exhausted trio to rest and recuperate.
They did not want to tell their names, said they were on a pilgrimage for a good reason. I reassured them that old names were hardly necessary and that they weren’t the first buns to come and hide in our garden for a while. I called the couple bordering their elder years Taffy and Nougat. The young chinchilla had such beautiful dark hazel eyes that I named her Kahwah after green tea.
Kahwah hopped immediately into what she thought was a bunpool. (Look at the shocked expression on Au Lait’s face!) Taffy and Nougat were happy just to rest and nom strawberries. I petted them all in turns until they settled down and began flopping to relaxed bunsleep in the garden. And today when they woke up, Taffy began rearranging the flowers into a decorative nestling area. Seems she wants to leave her very last baby with us before continuing their journey. ^_^
