The weather here has been very wet lately! Tomorrow? 100% chance of rain. The day after that, the day after that, and the day after that! Don't get me wrong, I love the rain. Love it. With all this rain though, we've had a tight timeline for planting the beans and peas. Also, it's a little hard to work in the rain. Some things we can't get wet, and it gets slippery too. The plants here seem to be doing very well! Our blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, and trees look rather happy with all this moisture.
Anyways, if you're wondering about the other half of the title of this post, we did in fact get bunnies and goats! Bunnies and rabbits are the same, I just prefer bunnies. :P Two days ago, we got back here after a week. We were going to get two bunnies. Cocoa and Ebony! I was sooo excited. Our flight was a little delayed (one-and-a-half hours) due to the rain in Seattle, so just sitting in the airplane with not much to do had me really overthinking about those bunnies. Once we landed, I was saying: "Get the baggage! The bunnies await!" Driving to Costco for gas: "Fill up! The bunnies await!" Shopping for milk: "The bunnies await!!!" Yes. I did this pretty much the entire day, which I believe worked its magic. Soon, we were at the house that housed them. We were greeted by the owners/breeders, and they took us around their house to retrieve the two bunnies! First, we got Ebony who was just the right size to fit into the carrier we had brought for him. He is dark brown with brown eyes that look all innocent. Then we got Cocoa, who was a little bigger, but fit in just fine too. She is white with what looks like chocolate dipped ears and a chocolate dipped nose. The other bunnies there were much bigger than them, so we got lucky. After my dad paid for them, we got Cocoa and Ebony into the car with us, and drove them home right away. Once we got home, we situated them in their grassy plot of land, and they both set off exploring. Ebony ate a whole bunch of grass and stretched his legs out, not used to having so much space. Cocoa found her house almost immediately and dove in right away. She and Ebony stayed there until we had to show them to their food and water source. We decided to rename them. They seem very happy now although the weather could be better.
They very next day, we got goats. Well, Jared and I actually had homework, so my dad went out to town to get them himself. I don't have the full story, but he brought Daisy and Shamrock back in the trunk. They were both born on January 17, 2017. Sisters! We can tell them both apart pretty easily. Daisy has black spots on her back and under her eyes that make her look a little like an anime character, and she is not a really big human-lover. Shamrock is all white and is very friendly. They are both very cute. Both are Nigerian dwarfs! The midgets of the goat species basically. They both eat out of my hand happily, but are living under their trailer instead of in it. Things to work on, but they can stay down there for now. :)
That's about all. Thank you for reading! I'll keep you updated.
This is Cocoa!
