This Weeks Work and Cute stuff

     We have almost all of the Ranch cleaned up with the exception of one area. This area is in front of the barn and beside the garage.  We had been storing wood and wood pallets beside the garage and the weeds really got out of hand there.  We started moving the pallets the other day out to a back corner where we are storing some items.
     Once this area is cleaned up it will have a fence put up across the front and it will be a new duck yard hopefully by fall.  The yard they are in now will be planted in rabbit food and part of it in a fall garden.

     Farm fresh eggs are so great!  Hopefully even once molting season starts I figure with the new hens we have we should be getting at least a dozen eggs a day.  Several of our older hens will be going to freezer camp this fall and we will also start incubating eggs to get our new girls for next year.
We are also going to be incubating Peking ducks eggs once we get them separated from the other ducks.

     The Bunny, The Bunny ! Oh we love the Bunny.  LOL  We sure do enjoy watching them  and seeing we they are doing.  Brent went out to the outside rabbit yard earlier and didn't see any.  He thought they had all gotten out.  He started looking and finally found them. They were all laying down under all the foliage in their yard.

 Then he went into the rabbit barn and found a bunny group under one of the shelves in there.

Hide , they won't see us here!

Bunch of cuteness.

     As written in earlier blogs, my garden went to the bugs and weeds. The tomatoes have been doing good and also the zucchini.  Most of my herbs have done pretty good. I need to start drying my parsley and some thyme and basil. My oregano did not grow much this year and that was one I really needed.
     The Comfrey we have growing for all the critters has done awesome and we have also been propagating some of it to other areas.

Tomatoes that came up from  compost

      Out in the garden where I had watermelon and Pumpkin planted along with the zucchini.  I have 2 things growing that I am not really sure what they are. The first is like the size of a watermelon, but not sure that is what it is. Some say it is an over grown zucchini.

      This is the second one. It is either a round watermelon or this is the pumpkin, but not where it was planted.

     We got the yard mowed today.  It sure looks a lot better when it is mowed. I need to start mowing every week instead of every other week.  It had really gotten tall this time.

      The chickens, and all the other birds sure like it when we mow.  They get to get all the bugs that are trying to get out of my way.
