Bunny Update

Got a call about my bunnies today, the man should be here Thursday to get the last 8. I will be keeping 1 to breed in the spring. I am glad/sad to see them go. Glad because they are eating me out of house and home, and sad because they are such cute, friendly things. For some reason this litter got out twice, but would hop right up to me so I could catch them fairly easily.

I still have 6 New Zealand kits left, but I'm not going to sell them for awhile. My youngest should be getting into 4H this fall, and will need one or two for the fair. For some reason, my New Zealands and Jake the dog are rarely very photogenic, so please excuse my lame photos of them.

Self-Seeding Tomatoes

As much as I tried, the garden didn't get started this year. But the heritage cherry tomato seeds I bought a couple of years ago are still self seeding themselves and took over the entire garden this year. Too bad the lettuce I grew in the herb garden tasted like tissue paper. I could have had salads for the whole neighborhood.

In Limbo

Due to a bunch of things happening all at once, I quit my job.

Scary.

Then I ended up at the store.

Where I found a ten pound bag of potatoes.

$6.99

Yes, that's right, $6.99 for a ten pound bag of taters.

More Scary.

A couple of days later I was back at the store and found the egg section practically empty. Thinking there had been a sale on eggs, I scanned the prices.

$2.39

Yes, that's right, $2.39 for a dozen of large eggs.

Not scary.

What?

Because I got this today.

It's the first egg from the new hens, small in comparison to the old girls' eggs, but . . . .


it's hope.

Hope that maybe I can sell all of my extra eggs quickly and things will be alright.

D even said someone at his work is already asking about eggs.

Am I "counting my eggs before their hatched?"
