Sometimes planning things just doesn’t work . . .

I had planned to dye up 2 small batches of yarn this afternoon for some things that need to get done . . . turns out the oil burner that controls the hot water is not running! Why do these things always stop working on the weekend when the odds of getting them fixed are nil? So, no hot water, no dyeing. I’m going to boil a pot of water on the stove just so I can do the dishes. . .

So instead of dyeing I spent some quality time with the fuzzy buns. Here’s Jasmine after her grooming session.

I think keeping the buns outside in their new hutch this year has made a big difference in the amount of coat they have grown. I’d have to guess there is somewhere between 1- 1 1/2 lbs of wool on this bunny! Very furry, furry bunny! Blossom doesn’t have as much as she was plucked in November and her coat is still growing in. This one will likely need to be plucked sometime in the next couple of weeks.

Baby update

We had another ultrasound this past Thursday. Everything looks just fine in there. We got to see he/she moving around a bit, see little fingers and toes etc. We intentionally didn’t find out what we are having, we plan to be surprised in July. The little peanut seems to be growing fast these days. I used a tape measure to measure my belly this past Monday and again on Friday, we’d gained an inch and a half in 5 days! No wonder I was so tired this week! I’m also starting to notice movement more often. Nothing so clear that I can say “that was a kick” as yet, just more a sense of movement and an occassional nudge, mostly at night or first thing in the morning when I’m lying still. Just enough to let me know there is definately someone in there!
