One very long but great weekend
Mood:  celebratory
Now Playing: "Beach Baby" by First Class on AOL's Summer Daze
Topic: Various things
We had a wonderful weekend. The July 4th parade was a great success. We attended three different parties on July 4th in the evening, and yesterday was spent shopping for a pool.

The pool is one of those big blue things that are showing up in yards all over the country. They are much less expensive than a regular above ground pool, but a starting place to see if we like the work involved in owning a pool.

So far, it took us 10 hours to fill it; yes, it is that big. But I've been trying to set up the ladder so the boys can go into it, and I'm not having much success. So we are waiting for DH to get home to do the job; he'll probably have it together in 10 minutes as opposed to my hour tangling with it. :)

Other than that, not much else is going on. The rabbits are doing well, and now that we are having days in the mid 70's, they are much more comfortable. Merlot, my newest buck was shorn 10-14 days before coming here the first week of June; his fur is now over 2 inches long. I'm seeing over 1/4" of growth each week, and I'm really impressed with this. For a summer growth, that is spectacular.

Annie's babies are almost 4 months old. I'm seeing great shoulder width on Jack Frost along with a good coat, who is going to a nice lady up in Maine, and the other three does are showing good coats too. Once they are at 4 months, I plan to evaluate them according to IAGARB, and figure out which doe stays here, and which ones go to their new homes.
