Settling in

Lets see... to catch you up to the story, we moved in last Thursday but since only the kid's furniture had arrived, we slept in two full sized beds until (most) of the rest of the furniture came on Tuesday. We got the rabbits (all 11 of them) settled in to their new area on the side of the house and the chickens have made themselves at home in the chicken area and have kindly given us more eggs even through the stress of the move. Not much else going on besides boxes, boxes and more boxes. Ughhhhh. I'm never moving again. Honest.
For Father's Day John got himself a shiny new ZTR mower and realized that it still took him nearly two hours to mow our yard, side yard, guest house yard and chicken yard. Ian will now be taking over the mowing. I used the new mower to clear about a half acre on the other side of the rabbit fence for the vegetable garden and promply chopped the top off a (very well hidden) clean-out pipe for our drain field. Ahh well... nothing stays new for long on a farm I guess.
Watched the frogs jumping and turtles swimming in our tank (read "pond" for those not from rural areas) Barn swallows have made a mud nest front and back but they eat lots of insects so it's fine by me.
