Ready for the weekend

Well I am as ready as I can be for my weekend away from home.  I was able to get a round bale from Nelson to cover the girls while I am farm sitting for Doc Skaggs until he gets home. 

The girls don't look too horribly fat this time coming out of winter from being on round bales.  

I am taking a short run up to the rabbit show on Sunday.  Mainly to sell a few of mine, and to get one show in before having to get back to get Louise out and get the Heifers all fed.  I have 9 holes going, 1 hole will have the 3 Chaucer x Vee babies in it.  The 2 bucks for sale but the doe I am keeping.  I am showing one of the sale bucks.  I will also have 2 of my English Spots for sale.   

I know even if I say it, it'll never happen, but I really do not plan on doing any more house sitting jobs.  I really am over it.  I keep fearing something is going to go wrong I know it's only 4 days this time but I am so scared something is going to go wrong.  Plus add that to having to pay Jess to feed my horses and take care of my rabbits.  She will also have to come to Doc's to get the rabbits from me on Sunday.  

Nice spring day

The girls got their visit from their Uncle Michael and got some pedicures today and then we enjoyed some good sun time.   Heidi's feet got a good clean bill of health, Tessa not so much but not enough to keep me from starting some spring refreshing.

Even Willow enjoyed some time outside in the sunshine while the horse water tank refilled.

My current hay pile- before pulling today's bale out.  Getting a little concerned seeing how slow the grass is coming in.  Approx 26 bales in there after I pulled one for today.

Little bits of nothing

Horses are doing good, we are really enjoying this ground drying that we are getting right now.  

I got three litters of babies in the nest box as well.  

Presea's 7 are doing good too.

Mirror's 5 are growing good

And I had to cull down on Iron Tail's.  She had 9 but two were runts and just getting too skinny, and I pulled a severe mismarked kit to give the others a better chance. 

The older growing out juniors of Vee's are looking good. 

More of nothing-ness!

Well been a wet boring wintery couple of weeks, but this weekend has finally made the turn to spring.

Everything is still mud, mud, muddy.  

 The girls enjoyed the sunshine today I put out a bale of hay and they ate some and then curled up in the sunshine to take some sleep and rest their legs.  They haven't laid down since the last time we dried up for a couple days.  This time it shouldn't rain again until Thursday so LOTS of dry days.  Thank heavens! 

 Some of Jessica's Chives are coming back on their own in the planter boxes.  Guess we had better start getting things together to start planting! 

Out of all my spring litters that are on the ground, I had 10 live babies that made it to weaning.  Both rats, and does not taking played a huge part of it, but anyway, I kept 3 back, sold 2 today alongside one senior.  I have 3 does due this week still- 2 more dutch litters and 1 English Spot litter.

I tattooed the 3 I kept back today.  the 2 bucks I will probably sell, the doe I am keeping back to raise up further.
