Wild Bunnies

We inadvertently destroyed a wild rabbit warren in he front yard while pulling weeds. There were five babies still in it so we put them in a cage to see how they would do. Two of them are still alive after about a month. We've read that wild rabbits don't do well in captivity but it seemed better than leaving them out in the yard to die. When they get big we'll eat them.

 Fiver.

 Hazel.

 We trimmed the posts on the driveway fence today. Lisa rode down pulling the trailer with the generator.

 The chainsaw is electric, thus the generator.

 After dropping off the generator and saw we went back down and picked up the tops. I got to drive this time.

 We took them to the burn pile and visited with Abbey and Libby.

 Freshly trimmed posts. Lisa will paint the exposed areas.

 I finished the wire end and hung the gate.

 To finish the ends you pull the wire around the post and weave it around itself. It makes a nice tight joint.

 This was one of the scratch and dent gates from Tarter Fence Co. in Liberty. We're making another Liberty run this week. I have a day off since I worked all day Saturday.
