Rabbit

Fall is here. It has already started to cool off. Kids have been back in school for about a month. I have returned to the library. And I have been working on getting my fall garden in.
The most exciting this happening around my house right now. Is that I decided to get a pet. Now I love all animals, but I wanted the best pet for me. Do to allergies in my house, cats are not an option. And I am not willing to give up garden space for a dog run. So I decided to adopt a rabbit. It was kinda funny how much work was involved. I had to fill out an application, have an interview. Then had to pick a rabbit, that not only did I like. But one that like me too.
Now the shelter has over 200 rabbits so there were a lot to choose from. I had already decided that I wanted a male rabbit. (I couldn't give up being the only female in the house.) I also didn't want a white rabbit and I was looking for a single. So that helped narrow down my choices. Now after deciding what rabbits that I like, I had to see what rabbits liked me.
The rabbit that I needed up with is Tokey. He is about 2 years 9 months old. He is a black Rex(velveteen) rabbit. He has spent half his life at the shelter. So his world got much bigger a few days ago.
Do to a sinus infection this post took a lot longer than I was planning. So I am stop now and keep your fingers crossed that I get better at posting. I know that I have so much to let you.

One Hand

lavender Being one handed has slowed me down. Like how to write this post without the computer keyboard and I don't own a smartphone. But as you can see I figured out a way. The thing that gets to me the most is that I can't walk pace or jog. The doctor said no and it painful. Thankfully there is still yoga that I can do. I switched to little projects that can be done one handed. And there are plenty of them.  Since I put building the garden on hold. It has gone through a whole redesign. Before I was hoping to have room to grow a few extra plants and now I will have plenty of room. Check out My Garden page to see the redesign and other updates on the garden. The best thing over the weekend was. Having a friend come over to help me out with my housecleaning. She sweep, mopped, emptied the dishwasher, loaded the dishwasher, wiped down the counters and sweep the stairs. It was so nice to have them done. They were all things that needed to be done.

How to irrigate the garden

One of my garden project that I been working on is: How to irrigate the garden. In the Texas summer heat vegetables need lots of water everyday. And I am already under water restrictions. I can only use a sprinkler head or system two days a week. And it also not the most efficient way to water the garden. And I wanted an idea that I could use recycled materials. After some searching on the Internet. I found IcePop-Drip-Irrigation . The short version: A frozen water bottle wrapped with a mylar chip bag. (Because I am anal about what I eat and about recycling. Both water bottles and chip bags are not some thing you find a lot of in my house. But it amazing what you can find at your local construction site.) I did change one thing to suit me and the garden better. I have a lot of more plants to water and it will be and early morning chore. So I drilled holes in the lids. Now I can just set them out in the garden and I don't have to wait for daylight. Hand Update: It is healing an...
