Blue New Zealand Rabbits Join the Homestead
A short post since I am running 0-60 right now, but I wanted to introduce you to the newest members of our farm.
Not to worry. These little guys are not going to be eaten.
They are blue New Zealand rabbits. The blue trait is so new the rabbit association doesn't recognize them as a distinct breed yet, but they will soon, I think.
I was very impressed with the breeder. Not only were these bunnies friendly and healthy, but the breeder kept meticulous records--always a good sign.
The farm is bustling despite the heat. I am searching in earnest for a paramour for Lucy and Heidi. I'd like a young buckling to better my chances that he won't have any bad habits. The girls have been a delight, so I'm hoping to have equally good luck with a buck.

Google Reader: I still can't decide which reader to use. I've got my feeds on Feedly and The Old Reader. Each has its good and bad points. I'm more than a little miffed with Google Reader for upsetting the apple cart. What are you using?

And I'm using Bloglovin' for the time being for reading the blogs I don't have on e-mail subscription.
I'm still using my dashboard to read blogs I've 'followed'. Never did get into the actual Google reader thingie. We'll see if my dashboard goes away, too.
The only thing we can be sure of is change.
Exactly what are bunnies good for anyway? Besides looking cute?
Out of curiosity, what are you doing with them, since they're not for meat? They don't, at a glance, look like fiber bunnies to me.
Re blog reader: I use Feedly now. It's easy to customize, and as I get used to the slightly different layout, I'm finding I actually like it better than Google Reader.
And i switched over to feedly yesterday. It is what it is at this point
Re: It is what it is at this point.
Yup.
So far, they ask for very little.
Maria my email blog posts are still my "reader" but have cut down to less than 50 since my husband's little stunt at end of May. He starts his new "career" on Monday July 29th as the City position in LaGrange is now his since he passed his physical and so forth.
Now your days will be your own again. :)
Gonna have more kids, eh? You sure have your hands full!
I'm using BlogLovin' and I also have my reads on Flipboard. It depends on my mood as to which way I read.

I've loaded everything into Wordpress for now, mostly so I wouldn't lose any, and have subscribed via email to the ones I really don't want to miss. I think once my new smartphone is up and running I'll end up with Feedly because of the sync aspect. Shrug, we'll see.
Hi, Maria. Don't work too hard over there. How hot is it? We're getting baked over here on the west coast. We were just recently in San Diego, and now we already can't wait to get back! It was perfect weather. *sigh*
Take care, my friend.

I know I'm doing something wrong.
It's hot here too, but then it's always hot. We're actually enjoying a cold snap. Only the mid 90s. :)
I don't like to talk about the "real" side of farming because I know some readers can't handle that part.
Not to worry though. These two in the picture will never be eaten.
But these little guys will not know the pot.
