After The Storm And What I've Been Doing

So let's start this off with a pretty picture. These are bananas that I forgot to take out to the pigs. But the butterflies are enjoying them so that's cool too.

It's been too long between posts again. Part of it is because we had a hurricane/tropical storm come through our area. Everybody is ok here but we got lots of rain and things are soggy.

I finally got the pig's new pasture fenced in. I haven't let them out into it yet because I need to weed eat around it and do a couple other minor things. Hopefully I'll get to that today.

I also need to fill up the sheep's mineral feeder. The feed I'm giving them doesn't have all of the minerals they need so they need the supplementation.

I need to clean out one of the rabbit cages. I had it sitting on the ground and the poop and spilled food has piled up which makes it unsanitary for my newest bunny. I didn't intend for her to be in there like that for that long. But as usual life and mother nature got in the way. But I've switched that bunny to another cage that is up on blocks so she's not sitting in nasty stuff. Now I can clean that cage out and put the little bunnies in there. They're big enough to be away from mom and have their own space. I also need to sex them and see what we've got. I do plan on getting a new zealand male in the spring for my breeding. But if one of these is a male, I can keep him for backup and genetic diversity.

I also need to figure out what to do with the sheep fence. I've got a spot that only has two strands of wire and isn't long enough to make 4 strands. Not sure how that happened but I need to get it fixed before the sheep realize what's going on. Kyle, my ram, has figured out that he can push through the fence when it's not on. Which is not good. For one, he could get loose and get hurt. For another, he's busting the little clips on the plastic posts that hold up the electric wire. Which means I need to spend more money to buy more posts. I really hate these plastic posts. But until I get things fenced in with better fencing, this is what I've got.

I plan on getting some u-posts today to start building a better sheep shelter. Kind of like the piglet pen/shelter. Each pen will become a stall and will almost be like a pole barn sort of thing.

So what have I been doing while I waited out mother nature's daughter storm? Mostly crocheting and watching youtube or movies/tv shows on netflix/amazon prime. Trying to crochet some things to finally put on my etsy store. Also been doing some more transcription stuff. Not as much as I was trying to do before. But enough for some yarn money. I crochet while I'm waiting for transcription things which helps pay for the yarn I use to make the things for my etsy store. Multitasking. Crocheting also helps me not to lose my mind doing the transcription stuff.

Anyway, I better get going so I can get to the hardware store and get my u-posts before I have to pick up our oldest from work. Take care all and have a good day.
