I'm glad my brothers were home

Dad is still in the hospital. We are hoping that he will be well enough to go back to the nursing home tomorrow. I'm going over this afternoon with my youngest brother, mother, and my two boys to visit before Luke flies back to California.

We had an eventful day yesterday. My mother, Luke, my husband and I took my two boys, and my niece and nephew apple picking. I have to say that I absolutely love the farm where we went picking. We've been going there for over 25 years now, and I feel a special connection to the place. DH and I had wanted to buy this farm, but we were a week too late in finding out that it was for sale. I have to say that the current owner has done wonderful things to the property, including fixing up the antique colonial that sits on the property.

Anyway, the kids had a wonderful time, and Dale taught them how to pick apples. Dale is an expert apple picker, having picked for an Easthampton apple farm for several years when he was younger. The kids got the hang of picking quickly, and we filled 2 peck bags in short order with Empires.

As for today, I did have a sad discovery this morning. I found one of the 3 week old baby bunnies dead in the nest. It appeared to have a broken neck. I suspect that Annie might have accidentally killed the baby when she jumped in to nurse this morning due to the way the baby was laying. This is one of those unfortunate things that happens, but the rest of the litter is healthy and active.
