luscious pear tree buried in snow, and surrounded by little brown bunny poop from the evil bunnies that, thanks to the snow, managed to reach the lower branches and chew all the buds off! i've no idea how much damage they've truly done but they were able to reach 3 of the 4 trees and i fear i will lose some of the lower branches entirely. only spring will tell.

i had to shovel out the pear trees to keep the bunnies from doing further damage. and the snow was so deep that i sunk up to thigh and waist deep with every step. when i fell over, i put my arm down to help push me up, but my arm just sank thru the snow as well. i was thoroughly exhausted by the time i finished.

the other two pear trees are a little taller and werent buried so deeply with extra snow from the driveway and street.

my backyard bordering the neighbors driveway. that red thing is the top of the neighbors car. that mesh fence is 6 feet tall! i have to shovel the snow away from that corner so the dogs cant just walk right over and escape.
