Spring rush continues here. I now have a new 3 tier pallet shelving unit for the enlarging amounts of seedlings. I will be picking up more pallets this weekend from the Feed Store to build at least 2 more. Until then I've made a chicken/rabbit proof area.
Before the heavy rain came this morning I moved all of the ones on the open pallets back into the greenhouse. With the low coming tonight I also placed plastic over the front of the pallet tier. Wow was that ever a comedy of errors with the wind blowing things around. I had a few choice words for that darn plastic!
The boys and I became quite enamoured with the little bunny. We named her Ginger and even though I had mixed feelings about making friends with the enemy (she'll eat my lettuce, etc!) she was such a delight to have around. It was unfortunate that she was only with us for such a short time. She had been left by someone who didn't want her anymore and after trying to find her way home, she was hit by a car and died Monday night. Very sad, the boys took it well. Now they are asking for us to have a pet bunny, specifically "Not a meat rabbit, Mom." I know I'm in trouble because I'm thinking about it.
With the warmer weather we've been enjoying dinner outside and after dessert we are going up to the fields.
Tag in the riding ring and a hike around the pasture wears us out and then it's bedtime.
Tomorrow we are going to another meet another local farmer who will be selling me some piglets at the end of May. The sow is due very soon and I'm hoping I can talk him into calling us for when she delivers. It's an amazing thing to witness and I would like the boys to experience it. They are proud Junior Farmers after all.
