Gitta skips ahead of us with Minna out to the garden. So confident in being able to control an episode, Gitta dances around and leaps off of tree stumps and boulders. Free from a lifetime of worry and anticipation of a demon that leaps upon her from nowhere.

I’m relieved to see that the bucket of stones still remains on top of the crate. I’m not brave enough to look to see how the bunny fared overnight. I motion for Dr. Evert to check. We hold our breaths as he peeks in, and our shoulders relax as soon as he smiles. Without gloves, he reaches in to bring the little fluff out. There might be nothing more adorable on this earth than a big-eyed baby bunny.

“I bet she’s hungry,” I say, scouting the ground for something to feed it.

Frieda says, “I asked a friend who raises bunnies for some rabbit meal and they gave me a little bag.” She takes a few pellets out and places them on Dr. Evert’s fingers. The sweet thing rolls it around with its nose a bit, but then starts to nibble on one. “He also told me they can eat clovers and most of the things we plan to grow in the garden.”

“What shall we name her?” Dr. Evert raises her to get a better look.

I study her golden eyes. “If she plans on feasting on our garden, what about Teresia, the harvester?”

Dr. Evert smiles. “Wonderful name, and perfect for a garden rabbit.” He steps toward me. “Annelie, take Teresia. I have to go fetch the hutch I’ve worked on.”

I’m happy to hold the warm little creature as Ursel and Odelia try to pet her.

Dr. Evert struggles with the large, rectangular hutch. Once he finally sets it down, he takes a deep breath. “Worked on it all night. I don’t know where it will go until the construction is through, but this spot will do for now.”

He’s chicken-wired the floor for the droppings to fall through and provided a protected nesting box for her to hide in. He puts his work shirt into the nesting box and we snuggle her into her new home. Gitta fills a bowl with water from a watering can.

“We can’t play with her all day.” Dr. Evert locks the hutch up with a key. “Everyone grab a piece of lumber and bring them to where the beds will go.”

Once we haul enough wood over, Dr. Evert commands us to nail them together to create deep-sided beds to fill with soil.

“Should we get the shovels and start filling the beds in?”

“There’s a few wheelbarrows over there. Fill those up from the mound of soil and then shovel the dirt into the beds.”

“James, should I start with this one first?”

He straightens up from the bed he’s working on. “What did you call me?”

The heat of blush rushes to my cheeks. “I meant Dr. Evert.”

He walks closer. “When we’re out in the garden, you can all call me Fridric.” He turns to go back to his hammering, but then turns around.
