Coffee anyone ?

Well I got my new bucks today! The one they said was a broken blue marten is actually a broken squirrel! Yay for that, he's so handsome. I'll post a picture as soon as I can...I can't wait to breed him with my Squirrel doe!

When I brought the new guys home and was setting them up in quarantine...I noticed that one of the 5 week old angora babies was lying flat and thought maybe it was dead...but no. It has Floppy Rabbit Syndrome
So now he's by himself in a carrier in the shade with a frozen bottle and I'm syringe-feeding and watering him.
I sure hope he comes out of it soon It's been one weird day!
More coffee being made...in fact I think i'll make an entire pitcher of iced coffee

And THAT is why you need a ton of bunnies! There are a bazillion colors and patterns, have to have a lot of rabbits to have them all.

@Bruce exactly Gotta have more bunnies...
@Jesusfreak101 that's sweet! And your scarf if beautiful Crocheting is a ton of fun!
Angoras are nice to have, they need a lot of grooming but having fiber from them is really nice.
I'm glad this year is better for you and your rabbits...and I agree with you...'breed like rabbits' just isn't true. They're not always easy to breed and things go wrong!

thank you both its been a while since I gotten to work on it. I am hoping to finish it before the weeks over.

I hope everyone stays safe from Tropical Storm Barry...
It sounds like it's going to be pretty bad.
Sunday night it's supposed to make it's way here to Middle TN I hope it doesn't...but by then it should be slowed down.
Again, stay safe and watch out for the flooding

Coffee is on.
Was at the farm until 10.... mowing hay/pasture. A lot of this grass was very fine and laying down... made for frustrating slow mowing. Working on getting the camper ready for next weekend.

Be sure to take pictures so we can go along on your farm journey! Thanks for the coffee. Tired this morning, we worked outside yesterday and got some things done. The heat drains us. We hole up under the AC in the afternoons.

It's overcast but nice little breeze to help dry the morning dew. I need to mow the other half of the yard this AM, then work 1-5. It's supposed to rain in afternoon, guess I'll have that on way home. Never know.

Watch very little TV but, this AM heard we have Barry brewing. It is that time of year, hurricane season. It's something to be watched with being coastal. Even inland you get the bands of wind/rain making a mess. With the unsettled weather for past couple years, I feel like "every" day is some disaster weather time. Time to buy some hay again -- goats stay in during storms, need hay to serve them meals.

Time to go crank the mower.
