We went to see Sherman's mom in Burnet,
over by Austin, and on the way home
I wanted to stop in at Tractor Supply in Brady.
Their store is bigger than the one here
in San Angelo. While we were looking around I
spotted a rabbit hutch with several bunnies
inside. There tucked in a corner was this cute
brown lop-ear. I reached inside and got him. He
snuggled up in my arms and I was hooked!
Course, the kids were chanting, "Can we get him, PLEASE!?" and I had already decided YES!
Sherman took some convincing...and well
sometimes you just have to do something
spontaneous and fun. Out of the box...just because! No rhyme or reason...it just feels like OK it would be fun to have a bunny to play with! I mean we live on a farm, for Pete's sake, we need animals! Even cute little cuddly bunnies to hold and love! I know, I know I have chicks coming in the mail next week! So, what am I thinking getting a bunny? I don't know! I don't have an answer except, if I can get chicks why not a bunny too?!
Maddie's friend shows rabbits for 4-H, so this may be something we can take farther later on. We'll see how well she can take care of Gunther. This will be a way to teach her some responsibility as well. Cleaning up poo, even if it does come from a cute bunny, is never fun! We'll see if she grows weary of the up keep, or if she enjoys the care taking. I'll be curious to see. BUT, isn't he a cutie!
I did a little Flea Market...junk shopping while at my In-Laws. I found this green school chair for Maddie's desk! It was a steal! Great find! Sherman found an old music stand he was very happy about. He's been playing the guitar quite a bit and was getting tired of looking down at the music. He got a great deal on it. He has already set it up and tried it out. We all gathered 'round and sang a little!
Sherman did a little digging in one junk store and came across pants stretchers! We got 2 sets! You put one in each leg of your jeans and you hang them out on the clothesline to dry. You get a great crease in your pants. They are great for guys like my husband who like that starched, creased Wrangler look! I tried them out today on a couple of pairs of his jeans and they work nicely!
I was praying for rain and we got some! 3 days worth! It was bitterly cold as well but the rain was very nice! We needed it so badly! Thank you Lord for the rain! Now I have to really get busy outside clearing garden beds and preparing for planting time. Everything was so thirsty it drank the rain right up! You could almost sit and watch the grass grow! There were blue bonnets blooming all the way to Austin. Soon Spring flowers will be popping up everywhere! I'm stating another goal...to have pretty flowers in my flower beds and yard this year! I would like to have a pretty green yard with lovely flowers this year! And a wonderful garden full of veggies!! And have my chickens lay an abundance of eggs!! AM I asking for too much?! Naaah!! Nothing hard work, determination, faith and the blessings only the LORD can provide!!
