The time! The time! Who’s got the time?
~ The March Hare from Alice in Wonderland
Who’s got the time? Well, it appears that this hare does. It seemed to have all the time in the world yesterday as it nibbled quietly on the grass. Barely discernible on the landscape, it still had some of its hairs tipped with white from its winter coat.
The grass has been covered with snow for most of the winter. It’s only in the last few days that it’s become visible again. Hares have been mostly dining in the back woods this winter, eating the green needles of small fir trees. It’s been a long winter. Hares and rabbits are always a good sign that Spring is here to stay.
