Barn restoration begins in earnest. We began working in a spring snow storm. A little windy up on those high ladders, but you've got to start sometime. We removed the broken second story door, cut a new hole for a first story door, and framed them both. We will be using the old planks to cover the second story hole. We needed the first story door to get access to the 100 years of moldy hay that is on the first story floor. I'm sure it will take us several years to get everything we want done to the barn finished. We'd love to make it look tip-top and pretty. We'd love for it to last another 100 years.
Oh, good news and bad news. We found the most beautiful thing in the back of the barn. A nest of tiny little bunny babies. They were so adorable. Actually, Luna, our hunting dog, found them. She didn't kill them though. The bad news is that we don't want more bunnies on our place. We certainly don't want them in the garden. No, we didn't drown them. I know we should have, but we just couldn't. Hmmmm.

I love bunnies--but like our Mojo, they aren't good garden buddies are they?
ReplyDeleteIf you guys touched them. They probably wont live anyway.Wild rabbits dont want to raise babies if they have been disturbed. But at least you can say YOU didn't kill them. lol
ReplyDeleteThat barn project sort of reminds me of our house. It too is very tall. We also modified a door--made it a window for now. Later, when our decks are on the house we'll put a door up again, and also be able to reach the top floor to finish our siding. So much to do!
ReplyDeleteWe plan on planting lettuce soon, and bunnies Love lettuce.
