Another one graduated ~ rabbits

Yesterday, the big shin-dig was watching this daughter graduate.  The two on her sides are her siblings (missing a few).  And all three do not have their natural hair color, ha ha!

The graduation ceremony lasted a bit over 2 hours.  Our bums were pretty sore sitting in bleachers.  Oye. Way too long for us.


We were told we could ride over on the Harley, and that is what we did.  After that we came home and put our feet up for the night.  We all enjoyed dinner on the porch and crashed for the night.  All of us were tired.  Very tired.

The rain never arrived, so I have to high-tail it out to water then exercise (late, late late at this, but it's my first day back after vacation).

Rabbits were fired upon again, but I must be faster.  They were in the potatoes last night.  They were in the tomatoes this morning, and while our now graduated daughter was taking both Zuri and King out, caused a ruckus.  The dogs spotted the rabbits, who were sitting in the tomatoes, and the dogs went spot on after them, dragging Daughter behind.  Literally.  She came in and said, "you can shoot those rabbits!" showing me the now missing skin on her arm.  I'm thinking it is well over time for rabbit stew.  

I wasn't going to put the scare crow back up, but now I will have to as well.  It was housing wasps, and year after year I would have to dodge wasps (they would build nests inside the straw I stuffed it with) to work in the garden.  I will have to gut her and re-clothe her now.  Hopefully I will have time for that.

Charlie nearly pulled my arm out of its socket on yesterday's walk when she saw a big brown hare...the rabbits are getting braver I think! My chicken wire is helping me sleep at night, so far it's working out really well, though it was a heck of a lot of work. Mind you, my garden is likely much smaller than yours!

I thought I was covered, having chicken wire strung around my raised beds. That was, until I discovered rabbit poo IN the beds. Next year, it's going to be electric netting. We go to too much time and expense to feed rabbits!
Rain, I felt so bad for her, but she said the rabbits were just sitting there in the garden and not running away when they saw her and the dogs. I hope the dogs ran them off to a new home. Yes, my garden is rather huge. I run out of room each year though. I hate to say it, but it should be larger.
Susan, I will have to look into that netting. Yes, they ate down the tops of a few sweet potatoes, some bell peppers and a few other things. Grrr. I'm on patrol now.

You need a dachsund! Annie has killed 4 baby rabbits much to my chagrin! It makes me sick...those poor little babies and their Mother....it literally makes me sick to my stomach but we have no rabbits in our yard. This hasn't happened for several years but they must have forgotten about our little Annie...the bunny killer!
Sam I Am, our barn cat Sapphire, has caught all the babies and eaten then, but the one, and the Mother. I was secretly hoping she'd get them all this year.

So sorry...I got caught up with the rabbits! Congratualtions to your daughter!

Apples and Tomatoes Oh My!

  The early morning weather here has been downright chilly.  One morning it was 42 degrees.  Flower beds have been weeded.  The herb garden is next in line, but I do need to figure out what to do with all the rosemary plants I planted in the actual vegetable garden.  I have not mastered keeping them alive all winter indoors.  They will not survive the winter if left outside. Did any of my blog writing followers locate a better "blog" platform online?  Just curious if anyone is moving from blogger. 

Under the Weather ~ What's Growing?

  I have not been around in blogland much, due to being under the weather after I pushed myself way to far one day.  I have to remember we cannot do it all in one day.  Thank goodness for teas and tinctures, and healing foods (and rest).  We are feeling better. As for our blogs being used for advertising on many websites, and so forth (I can't see any other reason for the source of views: howstuffworks, dominospizza, mayoclinic {not the blog readers interested in my actual blog}) the numbers continue to climb.  I have not found a way to "opt" out either.  If any of you find a new way to avoid this, blog elsewhere, find a new platform etc, please be sure to share.   If your blog has ads, you are are not going to complain, ha ha!  You are probably making a bucko-bucks with all these visitors to your blog. Okay, back to the update post . . .

16 Weeks Until Christmas

  It's not hard to believe that we are traveling closer to the winter holidays.  I'm trying to focus on enjoying every single day until then, but I am fitting in a few snippets of holiday preparing.  Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year.  It's hard to believe it's the last day of August. I have not yet gotten rid of the links to all the advertisers using my blog posts, but again, still working on it. However, my profile has gone from my blog, and while I am in settings, it is not able to add as a "gadget" to the blog.  Weird things are happening.   Google had a data breach recently as well, so gmail users were advised to change passwords.  Not sure what else is going on, but just in case you are wondering why my "profile" is not on my blog any longer.   Okay, back to the Christmas countdown post . . .
