new pet, irises are blooming....others

This is Beauty , our new rabbit, black beauty is her name, just got her yesterday....I know I should have waited to breed her, but couldn't find anything on how long you need to wait when you first get a doe rabbit, So I bred her to Moe, lionhead buck who has Siamese coloring.

Here is my youngest daughters baby bunnies, they are approximately about 3 weeks old...Daddy was Moe, thinking about keeping one of the calicos...she had a total of 7 , we lost one this past week, it was so tiny.....

Some of the baby chicks that I am keeping back as of right now, might rehome a few once they are grown or put in the freezer depending on what they are.....there is Columbian bantam cochins, and some out of my Blue/Splash bantam cochin pen, a couple of EE for my youngest and a few egg layers in there as well....and two buff bantam cochins.
I have turned the heat lamp off during these very warm days, some are almost feathered out and ready to move them out of where I got them at , as soon as a pen is build, never ending project here, lol

                                        Here is one of the Columbian bantam cochin chicks

                                                            Now on to the garden............

       one of my Blackberry  are blooming, I looked at the patch I usually go and pick at, and the farmer has either sprayed or mowed them down....so I will only be picking from the garden this year, I guess. The other blackberries in the garden that are big enough to bloom are beginning to bloom as well.

                              
                     One of the 3 tomato planters I have....decided to plant them in a pot this year
                                                                        so far

My irises are blooming and thinking about it here.....just love my irises....

a new addition

We have a new addition here on the farm. Another rabbit , who just happens to be a doe. Her name is Hope. Here is the story on how we got her. My mom who lives in town , was outside and she seen something white and she went to investigate and low and behold a bunny. Needless to say she got it and bought it to us She first tried to catch it with a carrot, it wasn`t interested in that, then lettuce leaf and that is when she caught it. Hope belongs to the oldest daughter, her rabbit that she bought in the summer months died from the heat. Now I can have some baby rabbits, someday. Yah. The other rabbit we have is a buck and small as well. His name is fluffy, I think he might be possible have lion head in him ,cause he has somewhat of a small mane. Hope looks like a dawf bunny with the small ears. The oldest daughter named her Savannah Hope , Hope for short. At first she wouldn`t eat rabbit pellets, but now she is.
