This week we are relaxing and concentrating on our home. This weekend at the Thistle Meadows Wine Tasting Festival we were a smashing success. I had stressed and worried about not having enough inventory, but it all worked out rather well.
Tomorrow we are taking 3 breeding pairs of rabbits to their new owner in Lexington, NC. Jay spread more bunny mulch on the garden yesterday. We finally bred Miss Alice to one of the bucks who is leaving tomorrow. She is a different bun today. Which is a sign that she has taken. The breeding pair of Rex's that we are keeping have been bred as well. They are due to kindle on November 3rd so on Halloween we will be putting nest boxes in.
We are making plans to get hay for the winter and to get the basement arranged for crafting and children's play area. We are hoping to get shelving up and put some kind of remanent carpet down in the play area...and maybe some dollar store tile down in the crafting area. I don't if I have posted any of this before or not. I am thinking I have. My mind is mush at the moment.
We might pick up some chickens tomorrow at the stockyard, not sure yet just need to see how things go. :) I really miss having fresh eggs and I keep getting requests for them..so if there are some at a good price already laying, I just might go for it. :)
Well, since I can't seem to think straight any more, I am going to call it a night. I will finish catching everyone up tomorrow night.
