Friday Morning

Yesterday the temperature hit the 80's. Mrs. Curley did some planting. I worked on several outdoor projects in the late afternoon. For some time we have needed to add a rabbit cage and the support structure for such. I put the posts in yesterday and hope to do the rest by the end of the weekend. We also converted our compost bin, which did not have adequate circulation or adequate access for turning it over, into a compost heap. Hopefully this will work better.

Speaking of rabbits above, we mated two of them a couple weeks ago. Yesterday we put the does back with the buck to see if they would reject him (a sign that they are pregnant). They did not reject him, so we will see if it takes this time....

Going to pick up some free pallets at the local newspaper office today. Pallet wood, depending on the condition, is great for odd projects-in this case, probably to be part of a more permanent roof over the rabbit cages. (A tarp has been doing the job up to this point, but it is wearing thin.)

Also up for the weekend will be to clean out the chicken coops. We need to get all that good manure into the compost heap and turn the soil over. Must also change the oil in the car(s) and replace a blinker.

Blog round-up: The Wandering Moon wonders who is really experiencing the penance resulting from all the blogfasting going on during lent around st. blogs. ...I was going to report more interesting things around the blog world, but am too tired to continue this morning, maybe later.
