A day of contrasts...

Hi it's Sweetie,
So, today has been interesting.  The temperature reached 31 and humid, but by late afternoon it changed completely.  It starting blowing a gale and my Yollie tells us to expect thunder storms.
My Yollie was busy tying down anything that moves and locking us up nice and tight in the castle.  She even took down our favourite wind chime for the night, so we can get some sleep!  This morning however was fabulous.  My family and I had the best time exploring around the castle grounds.  I got into to all sorts of  interesting places.  I like to keep a really, really close eye on things especially anything new or different.
 I love musical or sparkly things and if I'm lucky, sometimes my "Little Human" leaves me treasures to find. Today it was fairies, with sparkly wings that move!!  I had a ball playing with them,  I love to toss them around and pretend they are flying I was having the best time!  Until, Patches! He is always spoiling my fun, I'm starting to think he                                                        

does it on purpose, brothers!!  I'll tell you what happened.  He decided to come over, I tried to hide my secret find but unfortunately they sparkled just at the wrong time!  He ruined the game, he was too rough and started to nibble on the wings, I know how rude!!!! So my Yollie took them away.  It's ok, I gave him a really good chase around the grounds. I'm much fitter and faster than him, so when I caught up to him he got a nip on the rump!  Serves him right, teach him to spoil my fun!  

Onto happier things, our garden is going fabulously, all the melons are growing each day and the butternut pumpkins are really taking off now and my Yollie is picking lots of tomatoes each day.  I love this time of year, especially when we get little treats straight from the garden when my Yollie goes past with her bounty on her way inside.  I thought I would share a quick clip where my dad comes in to see what I'm up to in the castle dungeon.  Hope you like it.  Till next time, take care.

Happy Valentines Day!










Hi everyone, it's Sweetie here.

I have a very interesting fact to share with you all today. Did you know there is no other more romantic, loving and smoochy animal than bunnies??

No?

Well you do know what they say
"breed like bunnies"
Well, we had to get the reputation from somewhere!

In my humble bunny opinion I  think we are very smoochy,

Happy Valentines Day EveryBun!!!

(My Mummy and Daddy having a smooch)

Hey, get a warren already!!!!

From Sweetie.... and remember 'Don't be shy to say Hi !!!'

"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

A day in pictures ...

 


 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!
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
