Bunny update and a few other things

Bonnie, thank you for following my blog. It makes me happy to have another friend. Best friends I've ever had are my blogging friends.

and speaking of friends, (in reply to a comment), Sharon, sure wish I could take credit for painting this welcome sign, but actually, a friend found it in a Goodwill store and bought it for me, thinking it would fit in well out here with us and the chickens.

Gosh, I can't paint anything, hardly even a wall. I've simply got to get our bathroom and hallway painted before the holidays, and will probably make a mess of that! 

Looks like I have a hard time even getting a good picture using a camera! 

Anyhow, look how Penny has grown. She needed to get out of her cage and hop around like BunBun and Fiona...

and the first place she hopped was right into the water bowl. Each of the bunnies have a water bottle but I keep a pan filled too, just in case. Poppy says I overdo everything...making things harder than need be. I'm a worrier, for sure.

This is Penny's little bedroom. Her steps are made of cinder blocks...not as pretty, but she tickles me going in and out of the holes. 

There are now three sections to the 10 x 10 lot. When Penny gets a little older, all three can play together.

Miss Fiona has a three story flat. Poppy passed by the other day and said, I can't believe you have turned this dog lot into a home for rabbits.

I do enjoy the bunnies..and the guineas...

this one watched me open the chicken house door early this morning.

while Eli checked out things in the goat's lot

and I did spot a tiny bit of color in the trees.

see what I mean about all the brown leaves? Could it be this dry weather?

Better get busy. I started this post yesterday but left the computer to walk outside. That walk led to...

. clearing and digging a bed near an old fence section in the back yard and setting out two blackberry plants.

. digging a hole and planting a persimmon tree.

These two things have been on my "to-do" list forever! It felt good to cross them off. 

Today, I plan to set out two rose bushes that desperately need to be in the ground. This too is on the old list.

Last night I was reading on line about persimmon trees and found out that it takes seven to ten years for a persimmon tree to produce fruit. Poppy said, well, we will never live to get a persimmon off that tree. Good gosh! I'm planning to eat a persimmon off that tree!

Love,
Henny
