Played around with the baby bunnies again today, the two light bunnies I think might be the same color, just one has regular fur and one has rex fur. The other two kits in that litter look rex, an opal and a castor. The litter with two kits looks like a chestnut regular fur and castor rex...

Eyes are open and bunnies have escaped the nest boxes. Almost at peak cuteness age. I wasn't expecting white kits, recessive genes can be fun. Pictures are all the same litter.

We have baby bunnies! Willow, Sage, and Parsley kindled. They all look like small litters. :( Maple-daughter and Juniper haven't kindled yet, not sure if they took.

Spent 4-5 hours in the garden today, weeding and raking up the stuff hubby weed eated. I ended up with a blister on each hand from raking, tweaked my wrist and one ankle, plus a sunburn. Super sore now but I'm happy with the progress that was made. If hubby can get the tiller actually working...

Anything built using the stuff from inlaws would not look great, definitely look mish mashed together. Munchkin 2 loves watching his big brother, just starts smiling the moment he sees him. I hope they will be best buddies, but I anticipate lots of stolen toys and tantrums in the future. I...

The breeds they have in South America are a lot larger than the pet versions here in the US. It is very similar to rabbit from what I've read, and they are pretty much self sufficient practically from birth. They can't jump well so containing them is fairly easy and they eat all sorts of...

Munchkin 1 had Dr appointment this week, he's 35 pounds and 39 inches tall! That is in the mid-90s percentiles. He will turn 3 in September but already is as big as a 3-4 year old. He loves playing in the dirt with his toys and climbing things. He is getting better at speaking and he is very...

Rabbits are due this weekend. Should be either 4 or 5 of them. Not sure if Maple-daughter actually took, there was only one fall off. I gave her a nest box anyway. Willow has already made her nest and pulled fur. This will be her 2nd litter. Still need to go back through my notes and get...

Hubby wants to buy a large excavator similar to the one his buddy has, which would probably be 150-180k, he says payments would probably be over 3k a month. He thinks he can get jobs that he can charge 2k a day work for a few days and then be able to pay for the excavator that way. I am not...

Hubby was able to hire his buddy with a giant excavator to almost completely finish the building zone for the bunny barn. The view has opened up a ton, although there's still more to do before it's completely clear. Lots of trees were moved but one didn't fall where it should. Close up...

I need to go through my records and make a decision on one of the rabbits. Currently we have 12: 5 male and 7 female. I plan to keep all the females and breed them this spring, and figure out if I should replace any later on. 2 males are planned culls, just need time to get it done.1 is...

The rain has been annoying. It keeps raining on the weekends instead of the weekdays, I haven't been able to get much done outside. This weekend there's a blizzard warning up the hill. Depending on how far down in elevation it goes we might get some snow. Argh. Grass and weeds are growing like...

I guess it's been a while since I posted. Life has been busy. The baby is 5 months old now and kicking his legs like crazy, he's probably going to be rolling soon. He is a very happy baby and smiles and giggles a ton. He loves watching his big brother. Munchkin 1 is getting into everything and...

Do you know the model of the baby Kubota? My hubby has been wanting to get a small tractor that I can use to move garden stuff around. We currently have a modified lawnmower my brother Frankensteined to be a tiller and pull a trailer. The engine is apparently the wrong size? So it snaps a belt...

So far I think he's not messing with the stitches. It looks like a scab right now. Stitches come out on Monday. I had stitches when I was 3, he's almost a mirror image of mine, it's on my right cheek and mine was due to a rooster attack. Monday night munchkin 1 threw up all over hubby's truck...
