Cause for consern or am I just impatient? + BUNNIES at some point.

This evenings sky! I love color.
  For the last two mornings I have run out the front door at 6:00 to turn the light on hoping to see one of our new girls laying in a nest box atop a beautiful white treasure just for me! Then again at about 7:30, but so far nothing..... Have I not given them enough time to settle in? Most likely not. Plus they are use to being let out to free range. Which I will let them do in a few days, but I want them to get use to their new home so they know where to go for safety and bed time. Maybe that will make them happy enough to lay me some white delight!
  Today the kids thought is was so cute, and so did I, that one of the B.Rock girls had dug a good sized whole and proceeded to lay in it and throw dirt all over herself and any one that was standing to close to her. Oddly enough she sings in her dirt bath as I do in the shower, though it was quite a cute lil tune she Melody she was chirping! Something about sunshine, rainbows and meal worms all around.
  My goofy girls can't figure out why the dryer wont start when they push the start button....... Anyone else see the problem here?

  Bunnies, Bunnies, Bunnies. What do you think of? Cute fluffy lil pets, right. Normally I do to, but now I will be thinking of how to cook them. I have found that rabbit meat is Very healthy, not only that but less expensive than raising cows and they don't take up as much room. Although I do not believe that "tipping bunnies" will work as well. 
  I will be building the rabbit hutches myself because I will have more time to put my thoughts together. As for the chicken nesting boxes, my super human Chief threw that together the night before we got the girls, as if it were just a quick sandwich. My brain does not work like that for some reason, I am very slow to think and remembering anything does not happen. Everything must be written down, unless it is something that I repeat quite often. It is a scary thing, but no worries on to what I know. I already have the idea of what I want it to look like and where I will put them as well as the measurements. Just have to make sure I have all the materials to put together.
  I have a few friends that are a bit put off by the idea, but that is fine. They are not the ones that pay our grocery bill for 5 kids and 2 adults. I hope to be able to lessen the stress put on my husband by some of the bills, by dropping the amount spent at the grocery store and at the same time having healthier food for our family. As well as being a great learning experience for us all. Milking goats will be another thing in our nearish future. That way Maxx (our youngest) and my Chief will have some relief from their lactose intolerance. They are both really missing ice cream and I will be making goat milk ice cream for them. It will take some getting use to but it is worth it!
  I hear my bed calling.... So we will see what tomorrow brings us.
