۞Sweet Interruptions # 241۞

Rabbit gumbo Sis :D

way to small for gumbo.

Deep fried lapin!!

Call your vet, and ask what to do Sis. I have never fed baby bunnies.

Before you take the baby domestic rabbits into your care and attempt to bottle feed them, please consider...

Unless the mother rabbit is known to be dead, there is a good chance that she is feeding her babies, even if she seems to be ignoring them. A mother rabbit does not constantly tend to her babies the way a mother carnivore does. Rabbit mamas feed their babies only twice per day, and then leave them alone. This is normal and natural: in the wild, a mother rabbit not in the process of feeding her offpsring stays as far away from the nest as possible to avoid attracting predators to her babies.

If mama rabbit seems to be "ignoring" her litter, check their condition before you interfere. If the babies' tummies are round and full-looking (you sometimes can see a whitish patch where the milk-filled stomach shows through the thin skin of the belly), they are warm, their skin is a healthy, dark pink, and not overly wrinkled, and they are sleeping calmly in the nest, then mama is feeding them. If the babies are very wrinkled, cold, bluish in color, have shrunken bellies, and perhaps are even crawling around looking for mama (instead of nest-sleeping, as a well-fed baby should), then you may have to intervene.

H e l l o Sistah's All!!

OMG, look at all the lovely garden pictures!

Happy Belated Birthday Cindy and Janice!! Hope your days were filled with love.

OH Gosh, Synda!!! What a gorgeous Front porch and the curtains give is such a beautiful welcome and relaxing feeling...I could just sit there for hours and hours!!

Sistah jaye, sure hope your getting in some time to relax...you sound busy,busy.
Yikers sorry about having to rip, think I'd be crying, lol...But i am sure you will get the job done, lol one seam at a time...

OK, well i've been in a whirlwind again, working too many hours and then trying to post!
At least today seems this computer don't mind working!! But then i'm trying to keep these blabby fingers at a minimum...ROFLOL, I know hard to believe.

Oh yeah.Linda Kay!! I gotta tell ya, just love the RW&B tire planters...Think they turned out beautiful...I can see you getting more..Oh you know Fusia would be lovely trailers in them!!

Sure do miss you, but try and at least stay caught up in reading.

Ackk, back to work, laundry front gardens and running MIL to and fro docs.
Poor lady, very distraught, shaking and can't even think...Think I'll head over early see if she needs anything done before we go...

Sistah, sure hope all goes well...LOL, thought about you this weekend, Re-read People's of the Mist!! What a great mystery.
Well, Got to scoot...
Enjoy the day!!
Peace and Armwraps.

Too hot here for fuchsia's. I have have tried them several times, and all they do is burn up, even in the shade!
Don't work too hard Judy!

SISTAH JUDY!!!! You're so missed by us all!!
As I had said, I'm glad you're there to help Steve's mum. She will certainly need a level headed companion.
Think there's a new book out. Then there's People of the Longhouse. Have you read that yet?

Thank you LK. That's some info that I don't know about rabbit.
Wonder if Sis Kathy read that, you know she's prone to be missing from DG for hours!!!
That's understandable about mamas straying from the babies to distract predators.

I can't do fuschias here too even with shade.
They are so beautiful for a few days, then burnt!

thanks lk, the man at the feed store told me the same thing. so now i have to wait

Praying that Momma takes care of them!

Morning everyone! Looks like it going to be another hot and humid day! Jaye, sure wish you could send some rain this way! Right now it is 75 degree's with 89% humidity!

the mama has built them a nest and they are warm. i think she may have fed them, because thier tummies seem full. keeping my fingers crossed

That is good news!

No rain today LK. It's in the 90s here, and don't you know I can't work in the garden?
Trucks need inspection, and serviced, all on the same day! Notice a good thing, the price of gas is steadily declining. It's 3.20 a gallon here.

That must be a relief to you Sis Kathy. You don't have to bottle feed those bunnies, along with Annie!
Michael would sure be upset if you had to do extra work.

yeah, i wasn't looking forward to it.

Jaye, your gas is cheaper there. it is $3.43 here.

Anyone ever see a morning glory like this one? it is so pretty, but don't know if it is supposed to be like this or just a morphed one? It has not opened all the way. Don't know if it will?

Hi Ladies,

Just checking in.......been fighting a tooth ache, going to dentist today ugh I hate going to the dentist.

Our gas is still high $4.09

The weather warming up in the low 90's

I've never seen a morning glory like that LK! It's very unique, would be the talk of the neighbourhood for sure.
Save the seeds, if they remained that way. You'd be having lots of "I want some!".

Hey Cindy. Drats to that toothache. Never a joy to have one.

Was out there thinking I need to water the plants, as I noticed the brugs in pots are drooping. Well, big mistake. Went out without any protection. Mosquitoes start feasting on my arms. You all should have seen this gal ran!

Skeeters are bad here too Jaye!

Cindy, sure hope you get that tooth fixed soon! I don't like dentist either!

Well the tooth is getting fixed alright!!! he's gonna yank it OUT. It's a wisdom tooth on top and he says I don't need it and it may clear up the problem I've been having with my ear too. Plus I need a lot of other work done, dang it's not cheap these days.

I wouldn't be surprised if it did fix your ear problem......... after all, your teeth, sinus cavities and your ear canals are all so close to each other... pressure from one onto another causes big problems........

You are absolutely correct, Susan.
Cindy, would that be a big relief if your ear issues are improved greatly?

Morning sistahs. Coffee is on, big huge choco muffins. Feel like something sweet today.

Ahhh 1st of June. Halfway through the year and soon I'll be another year older but no wiser!!! Lol!!

Thanks for the coffee Jaye! And those muffins sound yummy!

Good Morning Ladies,

UGH it's going to be 99 today.........Think I'll head to the river.

How about some fresh strawberries to go with those Choco Muffins???

YUM! Those look really nice Cindy!

Good morning!!

Oh yummy! Fresh strawberries right off the vine!!
How cool Cindy, you have tire planters too, pretty color.
Oh sure hope and pray with getting your dental work it does help to alleviate the ear issues, hahaha,
yep go jump in the river and stay cool!

Was glad to see the momma rabbit is taking care of the bunnies, kathy.

Omg, discovered a baby possum the other day, lol adding another critter to our wild zoo.

Sistah Jaye...were you able to get your quilt top worked on?
Just found a pattern I want to use, now to re-size it to what i need..or maybe I'll just do one I know how to do, already.

Geezelouise, it so cold, my fingers are numb! But...at least it stopped raining.

Yippy and yay, we are staying home this weekend...Going to the south side for a Biker fest called Throttle Fest, should be lots of fun, going to see Jacyle, so I sure hope the rain is done.

Today,spending the day sewing...ended up a no sew day yesterday.

OH my Gosh, Sistah! Thank you so so much for letting me know about the People of the Longhouse...had no idea they were continuing the series...woohoo, found one of our libraries has 1 copy...and yeppers a new one coming Due Oct 2012!! I'm excited, even though i forgot the name, lol..

Oh, bummer you can't have Fusia plants, Maybe you have something similar to fit your climates there in Tx and NC areas??

Linda Kay, wow, what a Stunning surprise your Morning Glory!!

Well, i best get the pedal to floor...lots to work on today.

Hope you all stay cool, warm and dry, or lol, wet if you need.

Don't work too hard Judy!

Cindy, is the river clean? I have this phobia of getting germs from a public swimming pool, or a river, but never the sea. Don't know why I should think that way.

Sis Judy, I managed to rip what needed ripping, and progressing along!
There's another new series and I forgot the name.. got to look it up. Oct. 12 is noted... I'm addicted to their books. Thanks to you!
You'd be Yahooing at the bike fest, I'm sure!! Enjoy yourself, and look for RWB stuffs too at the concession stands.

It started raining and Kel managed to mow 1/4 of the lawn. It's too good to be true, that he would finish that in one day :((

LK, what have you been doing today?

Just got back from shopping, went to the post office, and bought lottery tickets! Pray they are the lucky numbers!

I'll be waiting on my longarm, LK :D

^_^ Me too, but if I get that, I will have to add to the house and make a large sewing room!

Hmm.. would be nice if we live closeby. We can pool our resources and share a longarm.
I got the room LK.. waiting on $jackpot$. Thank God, dreams are free!! Lol!

Yes Jaye where we go the river is very clean, the water is so cold cuz of snow run off. Yes snow!, it snowed over Memorial Weekend. A friend of my mom's went camping and it snowed two days.


We are taking Doug's mom out to dinner late Mother's Day. She was in Oregon on MD, so we are doing it now, plus late b-day for me too. Doug went to pick her on the motorcycle waiting for them to come back so I can get a pix

Yes, dreams are free!

Have a good dinner Cindy!

Get some extra dessert for me Cindy!

$32 million being drawn in about an hour..tax free and ready to be picked up Monday! Plenty of time to get those long arms and airplane tickets

Wooohoooo Betty!! Hope you're the winner!

personally wouldn't want to win that much, but could treat friends..

My ultimate win would be $250,000 that way things wouldn't have to change

Betty, your lotto is tax free? We have to pay almost 37% taxes on ours if we win!

I'd be asking the cops to lock me up for at least a month, if I were to win that much. That way, I won't go crazy spending!
Same here Betty. Family and friends will benefit, and a couple of schools. Then there's the ideal kiddy park I've always wanted for this town.

Us Baptists aren't supposed to gamble.. like buying lottery tickets. I call it an investment!!
Just like the stock market, you win some, you lose some!!

Not a penny of tax..if I won tonight I could pick up check Monday for the entire amount..

LK, is state tax taken out of the winnings too?
Anyway, I'd pay.. it's still money I never had!

Return of bad weather. I'm glad the cats outside could seek shelter in Kel's workshop.
Marion, I might need that ark!
