So i realized I havent said much lately. LIfe has been keeping me busy busy busy.
We had our first litter of baby bunnies. They are now 7 weeks old. In a cage in my living room.... spoiled rotten of course. My intention is to make them nice and friendly so they are easy to handle and show. I also have another cage in my living room with a hand me down chick... Tame, cuddly and too little to go outside soo... you guessed it... inside for now. Life has been busy. We are getting eggs from 3 hens including one blue one! Im delighted, thought he leghorn is the only reliable layer. I was tickled to crack their eggs to cook something and see them deep dark redorange yolks. We also have gotten 3 duck eggs! I plan to pull out the incubator tonight and get it up to temp and try hatching me some ducklings. Since we only have one hen I shouldnt be overrun with ducks too quick! Christmas is just a few days away. We didnt do much in the way of gifts this year. Funds are low and our hearts just werent into aimless gifting just to give. I asked for useful gifts.... except a dress I fell in love with... haha. Not to often I ask for a dress for Christmas! But I had a certain style I wanted and I wanted to wear it with boots... If I get it I will have to get the boots next haha. Christmas always seems to stress me out... seems everyone buys gifts just to have something to give... and it seems like such a waste... To me a gift should be something that will make the recipients eyes light up in delight and joy. It should be something the recipient would love to have but could never make themselves buy... because life gets in the way. Even Wyatts gifts this year. His main gifts are usefull or will make his eyes light up. Theres not a glut of toys to overwhelm him so many get forgotten. I want to stay away from that. Soon Christmas will be over and we will have to figure out where the new stuff will go in our little house. I want to start the new year off right... 2010 is coming... I hope things will change for the better. I am hoping for a good garden year, fruit on the trees. I hope to can more food this year, raise some turkeys, and a few chickens and ducks and bunnies.
