A little of this, and a little of that!

Today was a bit of a crazy day. Around here, Friday's usually are!


We left the house just after 8:00 this morning to take our Grandma to her activity for the day. Then we saw our Uncle and talked to him for a few minutes, and had Harley the Rotti(farm dog) with us. Took Grandma, ran around downtown, went back to the farm. We forgot the key to check the boat in Cow Bay so will have to do that tomorrow. We checked out Pressure Washers at Canadian Tire, and saw a couple we liked but wanted to get the okay from our dad first(he was on his way from up Island). So we priced those and headed to the barn.

Then we were trying to figure out what we should do.. (Barn was clean and we just groomed and cut a bunch of nails a few days ago) didn't have the camera for pictures and had worn the dog out already by walking him downtown in amongst everything else we did today)

So we decided since we want to start "spring" cleaning we would take every feeder off the cages and clean them (thankfully they are all the EZ plastic feeders so they are so easy to clean, take off, and put back on! Anyway, we got the ENTIRE barn done this morning(bleached, soaped, re bleached, rinsed, dryed and put back on!).

Then we did a couple of bills for our Uncle, headed back home to pick our dad up to take him to Canadian Tire. We bought a new power washer. It is pretty nice-- 1600 PSI, has the attachment for cleaner, various attachments for how hard/soft you want the water etc etc. So we finally have our own Pressure Washer for in the barn. We tried it out on the car first and it worked great : - )

And then the afternoon was basically spent running around, picking up our grandma, washing the car, chores etc.

This weekend is pretty quiet. Next weekend is crazy- we have a few people coming to look at rabbits on Saturday. Then on Sunday the entire south 4-H club is visiting our barn to see all the rabbits and to learn various things(Coccidosis treatment, deworming etc etc). We also have to go to Sooke at some point either Sunday or Monday to pick up my new trio of Champagnes from the US, and some rabbits for a friend as well drop off a couple pre-sold rabbits.

We've already sold quite a few Jersey woolies and most of the mini lops that were for sale are sold with a large waiting list for spring litters. Don't expect many steels or dilutes available this spring(show animals anyway), the waiting list is very full on those. Chestnuts are always available- nice typed animals too it is just our least favorite color!

Anyway still quite a few JW's for sale.
