What I've Been Up To

A couple of days ago I had a headache that wouldn't go away. I had no desire to do anything. I didn't sleep but a couple of hours that night either so the next day I was too tired to do anything.

The next day I started making a bed frame for my older son. I say started because just when I was on the last cut, the cord for my saw got cut. I saw that it was a bit curled in one direction and was curling towards the blade. I kept pulling it away but it only took one time to swing right into the blade and it was cut in half. I ended up finishing the job but using a hand saw to cut the last board.

That day I also did a little more weedeating. I took a video of what I've gotten accomplished this winter. You can see that here https://www.instagram.com/p/Bhc46cuAy5z/ on my instagram.

The other day I also turned the rabbit cages upside down.

I usually take most standard methods of doing things and make them my own. This combines the cage method and the colony method. I open the cages in the morning and the cage doors act as ramps. The rabbits are allowed to go in and out of the cages however they want. Each cage still has a water bottle. But they have a plate of pellets and a flake of hay in the run that they can share. Each cage also has straw in it for bedding and I can give the girls extra for making nests.

Before I was able to lay the cages upside down, I had to clean out the manure that had collected under the cages. This is how much I got. Now I need to spread it in my garden beds for fertilizer for my veggies.

But that's about all I've done. I've take the push mower and run over some of the cut down grass, sapling stumps and sticks. But I can't just run over the stumps. I've got to stop and gently lower the mower over most of the stumps so it can cut it up into bits instead of the mower getting damaged or stalling from trying to take the whole stump at once. This is tedious and time consuming. And since most of our property is slanted, it's also tiresome to push the mower uphill. So I've been making slow progress.

But that's ok. I'm mostly just trying to clean up what I've already cut down and it doesn't have to be done immediately. I can get it a little at a time.

Ok, I've only got an hour left before bedtime so I'm going to go watch a movie and do some crocheting. I'm working on a project that will hopefully help me sleep better. But I'll show you that when I'm done. Until next time, take care and have a good night.
