Bunnies, Anyone?

The husband came home yesterday and asked me how my day went and I said it was fabulous. I didn’t see anyone or talk to anyone and I made a pair of culottes from the McCall’s 7131 pattern. I know I said I was going to make tops, but I changed my mind. You’ll see the culottes in tomorrow’s post because I need to give them a good final press. In the meantime, we’ll look at other stuff that is happening around here.

We now have two bunnies!

We used to have two bunnies but one disappeared. Bunny has been alone for over a year. I suspect that soon, we will have Even More Bunnies.

ETA: Right after I posted this blog entry, the husband came in from outside and said, “There are three bunnies out there.”

I did not expect them to muliply that quickly.

The morels are up, right on schedule:

I need to walk around the property to see if we have other patches.

I am trying cowpeas again this year. So far, things look promising:

This is a variety called Sage’s Cowpeas that I got from Triple Divide Seeds. Cowpeas are a southern crop and I have not had good luck with them here in Montana. Triple Divide varieties are selected for our climate so I am optimistic. I am starting all the beans inside and transplanting them once it warms up.

Hopefully, we are done with the 20F overnight temps. The forecast, at least through the first 10 days of May, is for temps in the 60s and 70s and lows in the 40s. Unfortunately, the forecast doesn’t include rain and that’s not good. May and June are our rainy months and if we don’t get rain then, the odds for a bad fire season increase exponentially.

I expect that everything in the greenhouse will take off this week and grow like crazy. I still have not moved Charlotte out there. The husband asked me yesterday if she was going to become a permanent fixture in the kitchen and I said that no, she really needs to go back out into the wild. I don’t mind catching flies for her but they are hard to come by in January and February.

We need to plant potatoes this weekend.
