For all the rare breed rabbit people:

Keep an eye open for this.

This will be great to get a clearer picture of just how many of the rare breeds are out there.

The only downside is we will have to all go out and count our rabbits 🫣, I recommend that when you do make sure not to let the family know what you are doing and then just maybe you can still claim that you have no idea how many rabbits are in the barn 😂.

Im going to advocate that maybe we collectively find a better way to hang water bottles....

End of the second day weaving my own homespun singles on this 4 shaft floor loom.

Im getting very proficient at tying knots.

Ive probably got over 6 hours worth of actual weaving into this, and because of the fragility of the warp (homespun singles that I apparently did *not* finish well enough for this) it is VERY slow going.

Ive discovered I really need a thin boat shuttle, and due to my lack of appropriately sized pickup sticks, I am picking through the sheds with a yard stick and beating the weft that way to minimize the friction from the reed on my yarn.

I have about the length of my hand x 1.5 woven.
At this rate I might be finished it by Christmas. Maybe.

Ps:
If you look carefully at the photo, you can see the direction of my twill change directions aboht halfway through where I messed up my heddle threading and didn't notice till it was all done.

In case anyones looking for a decent sunscreen.....

Blue Lizard Sunscreen

I spent 4 hours floating around the lake yesterday and only put this on once.
Best part is you can literally see the lines where my fingers were and exactly where I missed 🥴

I do miss the fancy uv reactive bottles though.

I am out of freezer space, so my loss is your gain.

New zealand cross

MEAT RABBITS

Would make nice additions to a breeding program for someone just looking to provide food for their family.

Or goes really well with butternut squash and mashed potatos.

Just about breeding age or perfect stewing size.

Males and females.

No breeding pairs/trios

Litter was attacked by a rat around 1 month old so some are missing toes.

I suppose some years are less about eating and more about growing next years seeds.....

Plenty of banana peppers though. Too bad I don't actually like them 🤣
