The rabbits are growing nicely. Funny Bunny seems to be a great momma. I try to go out and play with the little bunnies at least once a day so they won't be as skittish around people as the adult rabbits are. I know, I know; I'm playing with my food. But I am not so insensitive as to look at them as meat in the freezer. They will be looked after, played with, yes maybe even named, for their short ten or eleven weeks of life. Then they will be canned and eventually sauteed with some butter, salt and pepper. Well all except one...Bucks new wife. Gotta keep the bacon, uh, err, bunny on the table.

You know what's going on here?
That's right! Funny Bunny is nesting! She is getting her box just right for....BABY RABBITS. at least I hope that's what she's doing. 29 days ago she mated with Buck. So the timing is right. She should be due anyway now and she was pulling out her dew lap fur for bedding all night. When I got out to the hutch this morning it looked like there were two rabbits.
Aside from this exciting news here something else. I made at least 11 bird houses and 5 feeders out of scrap wood and license plates and a couple of wallhangings for our open studio.
