A New Project

I had my 51st birthday last month but unlike so many other years, when my kids asked me what I wanted for my present, I KNEW!

My New Project....BUNNIES!!!!!!

My kids know me well though and no one actually bought me a bunny. They sent money....BUNNY MONEY!!!! HEHEHEH. I bought 3 cages which finally came in last week. And today I've been building the hutch in which to insert the cages. I've got the framework done and as soon as our afternoon pattern thunder bumpers pass, I'll get to work on the roof framing and the side weather flaps so Flopsy, Mopsy and Topsy don't get wet when it rains.

I think I've ticked my hubby off by working on this alone. Sometimes though, a person just needs to do something alone, just to prove they can. That's what I'm feeling right now. No, my construction isn't perfect but it's sound and I learned a ton working out the design alone.

When I'm finished, I will get my bunnies...2 doe and a buck...and as soon as they get old enough, we'll be in the BUNNY BUSINESS. Mostly I'm looking, as always, to be a little more self sufficient. This is a new venture, something I know about only through books and what little talking I've done with other rabbit folk. So we'll see how the plan works out!

Hey, you built a bunk bed, a bunny hut isn't much different right?
