Falling Down The Rabbit Hole

Good Monday to you, friends!!
I am hoping you are all well,
and putting this extra time that we all seem to have on our hands to good use.


Our days, here on the farm, follow the rhythm of the sun...
and we've noticed that they are getting longer and longer!
Yes, we have come to that time of year where evenings begin to stretch.


We rise with the sun and start our day with farm chores...
and end our days by tucking in our animal friends as the sun sets.
The difference is... now there are more hours
between!


Extra activities, this weekend, were dependent upon the weather.
Friday brought temperatures in the 70's,


but by Sunday, the temperatures had plummeted down into the low 40's.


The cold always seems to dampen my gardening enthusiasm,
so much of the weekend's spare time was spent indoors.

In the greenhouse, everything is growing like crazy!


It won't be long before I can plant these lettuces and kale plants out in the garden.

Still, life was not without adventure!


Sunshine made for good grazing time.
After the recent rain, the horses were happy to be out and about.


They say, "Be careful what you wish for."
And you all know that I often wish for more time.
Time is no longer an issue for me.
These days are filled with extra time,
and as a result, I have found myself careening down
the proverbial rabbit hole...
into a world of...
rabbits!


Yes, I have been spending what extra time I have on my hands
with a very charming couple in a make-believe world
where social distancing is unthinkable!
Meet Bernadette and Reginald Bunn...


They are a very convivial couple who love to entertain.
They've only recently wed, and hope to soon fill their 
comfortably appointed burrow with lots and lots of bun-kins.


I have had so much fun making this couple and their wardrobe...
complete with a pair of Wellies.


Friday and Saturday mornings were spent sewing surgical masks,
a request from my daughter-in-law, an ER nurse.
Her ER is dangerously low in masks, and they are having to use the same
mask all day long, so having a fresh, clean cloth mask to wear beneath it
seems to be a help.


I finished 28 of them.
It's been a good way to use up my "leftover" stash.
I will gladly make as many as is needed.

Update on the She-Shed:
I got an email from the gentleman who is building my shed.
Building has been postponed for the time-being.
She-Sheds are not essential.
Fun, yes.  Essential, no.
No worries... it's something to dream about.

I hate when any of the animals gets loose, especially the horses. We have two baby goats coming to the farm shortly... so looking forward to having goats again.

Your bunnies have such personality! You should sell them (to pay for Ritz crackers:). Just absolutely DARLING!

What a delightful video! Ginger is a good girl, but a bit distractable. Ha! Your bunnies are so cute. I suspect they will reproduce quickly...they are rabbits, after all. Thank you for the smiles.
