Busy evenings the last few days.
I made two hay racks and a nest box. Assembled two more cages. Slathered more paint on the bits for the roof extension and a couple other things. Made some improvements to the watering system. I picked up several brass quick connect couplers for the hose, ran a 10’ hose into the watering bucket so I can fill it without taking the bucket down / up (that’s 40 pounds I don’t want to mess with!).
I split Smudge from her mama Dusky so all five rabbits have their own space now.
The rhubarb is ready to harvest.
There are blooms on our two apple trees. The bleeding heart, planted around 2004, is a profusion of blooms. A few intrepid tulips are in bloom. The perennial greenery that is weed like in its enthusiasm is overcoming the bulbs. I may thin them this weekend to give the rest of the bulbs a chance. I’d like to split the bleeding heart but don’t know if such a thing is possible.
I expect to build the roof extension this weekend and move the two bucks into their permanent quarters.
The chicks are nearly a week old and as cute as can be. I need to prepare the hen house for their brooder and move them out this weekend.
E took a hard tumble from her bike and has a pretty sore shoulder and an abrasion on her shoulder blade. It’s unclear what happened but she’s a hurting kiddo. Ice pack and some pain reliever and a day of tv.
Hot dogs, Costco potato salad, and a green salad with perfectly ripe avocado for dinner. The house is kind of a wreck from my focus being on outside work.
