The rabbit lives!

So our new rabbit made it. Not only did she make it, but she dug a burrow while the other rabbits just sat and wasted their time. I like this rabbit already. This big beast remains docile for now. The New Zealands we have think they are wild like gazelle and have become very hard to catch. Yet, somehow Atlas caught one today and intead of picking it up and swinging it about like like he normally does, he just lay his body on it and snuggled.








That is the stuff cute baby moments are made of.


In the meantime, Silas and I worked to set the 4 corners of our henhouse in concrete. He is getting masterful with the measureing tape these days and does well enough at holding the posts straight up so I can tamp them and adjust them. Next paycheck I will be able to get the boards and whatnot I need to mostly finish this thing, aside from the paint. It feels good to have this place coming together.


I found some ads today for beehives and an article on how to raise talapia in a cow trough. More on that later.
