"Styro-Time"

Hi Everyone!

It's Sweetie here, aren't these little guys just the cutest! My Yollie saw a segment on "Dr Harry" where he said it's important to keep Chickens environmentally enriched.  He suggested amongst other things, Styrofoam. They love this stuff so much. It even keeps a pretty good beat, mixed in with the new wind chime we have our very own orchestra!
Dr Harry said it is perfectly healthy and the foam passes right through their system, he warned that they cannot get enough of the stuff!  We think he is right, what do you thing?
That is about it from me, except to say we have had a very soggy morning, it has rained lightly non stop.

I have been hiding out in my castle, can you see me?

Till next time, Sweetie xoxoxo

 Hi everyone, it's Sweetie here, we had a nice romp out side in the castle grounds this morning. As I am your tour guide, I'll take you around to see what's new.

Nothing new here, this is my Goofey brother, Patches, He is so lazy, this is pretty much all he does except for, day dream about his girl-bun (Elvie the Cwazy Wabbit) and eat, boy can he eat!He steals it right out of our mouths, you should see him,
then he runs for his life, because he knows what's good for him, especially when I catch up with him! KAPOW!!!

 

This is mummy, Teegee, when Yollie comes out with the camera, she can't help herself, she's such a poser!

See what I mean! Poser!

Can you tell I'm not impressed! She is always showing off! 

I mean it, ALWAYS!!

Here is my Daddy, Angel. Angel decided to go back into the castle, just to check the perimeter. He is always on patrol, good old Daddy!

Phew! Dad says everything is okay for now, but he will keep an "ear" out.

Mummy is trying ever so sweetly to get Daddy to sneak the cucumber to eat, she has no shame!!!
I hope he doesn't give in, Yollie won't be happy.

Yay, he didn't give in.  It survives another day!

This is my little friend "Will" who is a chook but thinks he is a bunny!! We have to keep kicking him out of our burrow.
I wouldn't mind (don't tell anyone) but he isn't toilet trained, not in my burrow thanks!!

These are the siblings, the "Barney Boys" (front two) and "We hope it's a girl" in the back

Yucky Zucchini! No thanks!

"Barney Boys"

Basil, one of my all time favourite  herbs!
I just can't get enough, especially
with tomato, oh! just thinking about
it makes me hungry!

This is the first Sunflower, It has gone to seed and Yollie will pick it soon and keep it safe to store as food for us. The humans also eat some and some are returned to the ground next time to grow!
Brilliant!

 This is the new Sunflower plant, waiting to flower!

The baby watermelons are not so baby now!

These rockmelon or (cantaloupe) are starting to ripen
Yummy rockmelon, I think my tummy is rumbling!

Tomatoes of all types, we love them yummmmmmmmy!!!! We are so lucky, we get to pick some of our very own, straight from the tree! Yollie does supervise, as we can get a little too excited, only sometimes! Promise : )

Tomatoes Galore!!!!

Santorino Tomatoes ...  no staking/watering required

Not long now till these ripen!

What'cha got there, Mum??  Oh, I see now, Yollie got us a new windchime??  Neat! I love pretty sounds.

The Cuecumbers are still growing, 

Egg plants (not good for bunny eating) better for Yollie and the humans!

We were lucky to find this little treasure, Tansy, to keep pests away, thanks Yollie.

This Worm Wood does the same, but it also stinks to us bunnies, we do not like it at all!!!!  Luckily Yollie keeps it at a safe distance!  Well that is all for now, till next time, Sweetie signing off!!  XXXX

Fantastic Day!!!

Sweetie here,

Today has been wonderful!! Don't know if it's the air, sunshine, good food or what, but I have had a brilliant day!
My Yollie was busy gardening (as usual) and we got all sorts of surprises.  She must be getting ready to plant new things as we were offered all sorts of tasty treats - roots, seeds and all!!!  She does this on purpose to keep us healthy and on our toes, so she tells us. She lets some things go to seed to harvest, like carrots, beetroot, rape (pron. RAPA), most herbs like parsley and oregano, cauliflower, beetroot ... let me think ... oh! yes, gourmet lettuces and the list goes on.

The best part is that once she has taken what she needs for next planting, we get the rest!!! She even helps us out by keeping the pesky Chooks away while we feast.

Sometimes she even waits till they go to bed before surprising us (even though we already know what's coming, you can't keep secrets from bunnies you know- our noses are too good not to mention our hearing, but I won't brag).

On to other news, we have discovered that we absolutely love glory vine (like grape without fruit) fresh or dry! My Yollie was a little hesitant to give it to us, but she said she called the Vet and they gave her the Okay to try a little, and we love it! It is fantastic and my daddy loves the "vine" bit when it gets hard. He said we all need to eat it to keep our toothy pegs trimmed (or it's off to the vets to have them trimmed - ouch!).

  So now I can see my Yollie cutting down bunches at a time and drying it to keep for dry feed.  here is a picture of it over the pergola ...

Till next time,

Take care,

Sweetie xxx

smiling Dalmatian

Hi there,

Have you ever heard of "smiling" pets??  Well we have one! Her name is Holly (we call her "beast").  Holly has a wicked sense of humour, I'd hate to think what she is thinking, probably all the ways she would like to devour us poor little bunnies!!!  Any-hoo I thought you might like to share the experience, ready for it? Well here goes .  ...

Holly - our smiling dalmatian 

And now, I'll show you what it looks like when the monster laughs at us!! .....

So you see what us poor little guys have to put up with!!  Luckily there is a really big, strong safe fence between us!

till next time,

Sweetie xxx (and the gang)
