Don't know how many of you remember the work I was doing on my back yard 3 summers ago.

[IMG]]

[IMG]]

Nearly 18 tons of dirt, a few bags of grass seed and fertilizer and this is what I finally got....

It's like a green carpet now!



But I hit a bunny with the weed wacker under my garage right after that.... :(

I went into the garage to get a shovel to put it out of it's misery. When I came out it was trembling under the siding of the garage hiding. It didn't even try to jump when I nudged it. I pulled it out and it wasn't bleeding and had all of its limbs. I put it in a mini-cooler i had in my garage with a lot of grass clippings and some of a salad I had in the fridge and a tiny holder for water and checked up on it every few hours and held it and petted it.

When I first had it, it did finally try to escape from me and I kept holding it back with the other hand because I still had a lot of yardwork to do and didn't want to clip it again hiding somewhere else.

I was worried when I was trying to let it go though because it didn't make any effort to leave. Either it had become so comfortable around me that it didn't want to go or it wasn't doing well. It was making the bunny "clicking" noises and didn't look like it was in pain, but I was worried because it didn't make a move to leave. Eventually I put it into the hole in my side yard I believed to be it's original nest and made bedding with clipped grass and covered it with a bunch more. I checked on it twice more before I went to sleep and gave it a bunch of the salad before I went to bed hoping that mom would come along.

Checked on him the next day and he was gone. The bedding was still there, but not a scrap of evidence of the salad was left.

I'd love to know for sure that he is safe, but I'm going to smile about it. No evidence left for me to think otherwise, and I know I made the right decision by not making him a pet. I don't know the first thing about raising baby bunnies......



Anyways... here's some pics.

Cute, innhe?

I hit a Canadian Goose awhile back, don't think I killed it...really don't care. They're filthy animals, bunnies are cute. Geese crap everywhere and are always crapping on my car, again, don't care that I hit it.

Those that work in the claims adjusters business say hit the bunny, every time. Or dog, cat, what ever. More damage and loss of life comes from those who try to swerve and avoid critters than from staying focused on the road and letting fate take its course.

Yes, chooks in the backyard.

Probably Irish in origin.

"I grew up in Ireland and while not a native Irish (i.e. 'Gaelic') speaker,
there were numerous Irish words which had survived into common daily usage.
As a little lad I (and everyone else in Ireland who had chickens) would call
the chickens for feeding by repeatedly calling the word 'tioc' which is the
Irish for 'come' and pronounced 'chook'. Nobody referred to the chickens as
chooks, though: it was just the word used to call them. The chickens were
well acclimatised to this and would know it was feeding time when they heard
that call.

(Now that I think about it, amuses me to remember that people would commonly
stretch out occasional 'tioc' so that the effect was a 'chooooook, chook,
chook, chook, chook, choooooook, chook, chook etc. etc. with the result of
actually sounding like a chicken.)

This bit is pure speculation but I imagine that the early Irish keepers of
chickens in Aus used the same call, and non-Irish speaking locals may have
thought they were calling the chickens 'chooks' rather than calling TO the
chickens to 'come' for their meal."

someone sent this to me recently

Chickens are considered farm animals in many cities in the states, and even in our rural po-dunk little corner have been BANNED, along with goats, sheep, pigs, mini-horses, and just about everything your nosy-ass neighbor says "drops his home value." A had a woman come out screaming at me the other day because my Chihuahua pissed on the edge of her lawn. Do you KNOW how much pee a Chihuahua puts out at any one point in time????

If that is YOUR fence, you could cut it in half and put in new posts, wouldn't cost too much. We did that here. Ripped the six foot fence down to four and it held for six years.

Is that your step-dad's way of describing a potential partner for you? Or is this an even more bizarre name for chickens? If it's the former, you both need to do some 'Relationships For Dummies - Stop Treating Women Like Disembodied Parts ' workshops.

Bummer. Back yard chickens and vegie patch are considered to add value to homes. Roosters are banned in urban environments.

Where I do, The Litigious States Of America. Don't park too far from the curb, don't park too close. Don't hit your attacker TOO hard (cops can kill you if they want, though), don't do an illegal drug (legal ones are okay), don't cyber-bully (unless you have a hit talk-radio show), and don't have chickens or a vegetable garden outside of farm-land areas (feeding yourself takes all the profits out of Big Farming).

I know nothing about Indiana. When I've looked it up on wikipedia, it tells me that its in the midwest and great lakes region, but it looks far more east than west and just below one of the Great Lakes (Michigan?)

Gettin' old, but still a hippie at heart...


Well, my gawd, I read a thread put up by Six. My only excuse is that the last of my own dwarf rabbits (we had up to five at one point) died Saturday of old age, and "bunnies" in the title...I ignored it as long as I could but curiosity got the better of me.

I'm really glad the bunny was okay. All I really wanted to add was that in the NORTH Bay, can't speak for East, S.F. or Peninsula, we've got tons of critters. Goats, cows, horses, chickens, not dead "downtown" in the major cities, but within a mile of central Santa Rosa, Petaluma, Novato, San Rafael, etc. It's one of the things that makes running the dogs fun on the creek trails we do...people's homes back right up onto the creek and there's all kinds of critters to excite the dogs. Especially wild turkeys, which we see every day and which are oodles of fun for the dogs to "chase", 'cuz they're stupid and run straight down the trail until we get close enough for them to decide to fly.

So not ALL of California is like you describe, Chris. Veggies are grown in many gardens, and critters abound. Just for the sake of clarity.

Geez you're in a rural location and can't own animals? That double sucks. I imagined you in highrise or densely populated urban area.

We have plenty of middle of nowhere and nothing to do places as well. I just don't live in one of them.

I still plan a trip to the States one day. So any recommendations appreciated. Rural Indiapolis probably not on my list

Haha... It's my neighbor's fence.... or at least we believe it is. He moved in 3 years before the people who couldn't pay the mortgage did here. The fence is built so the "nice side" is facing him, but it's built on what is obviously his land. Where we both grew up if you put up a privacy fence it was law that you put the "nice side" facing the neighbors unless you both agreed to put up fences and put the nice sides facing yourselves.

I will eventually get to it, because I LOVE my back yard, but I have to pay for gutters and sumps and gennys and a 2nd furnace and central air first.

Hopefully 2014 is the year of Jack and I won't have to try to save up 5-6 years before I can do all that major stuff before I start getting to do the fun stuff again. :)


I felt guilty paying $4.50 for a used pair of Levis that "roughly" fit me for work a few weeks back on half-price Saturday at Goodwill.

At my old job, in my current situation, I could have paid people to do it all for me this year with cash, spent 2015 doing ALL of the fun stuff, and by 2016 I could live the life of a 37 year old Playboy without a care in the world.....

Blah Blah Blah....

It is what it is....

No worries, no complaints....

I'll get to covering up that horrific fence one of these days. I'm gonna put a self-sustaining pond in the back like one of my mentors did when I have the money to burn. My insomnia would be no match for the white noise of my own back yard shielded on all fours by 6' cedar privacy fences. :)

I apologize if it's redundant at this point Wish, but if you didn't see a thread where I posted this song, It's my personal Anthem today.



NO more counting dollars... We'll be counting STARS!

Sorry MD.....

That was my SD's way of bonding with me without getting "too close".....

As shitty a hand my Mom's was dealt in her life, she somehow found the right guy in middle-life. Yeah, he calls a woman a "pair of legs" to me, but wouldn't ever ask me about it in front of my mom like that. :)

For different reasons, I can't say that he is unfalteringly the most impressive Man I've ever known because I still give that title to my actual Dad with what he's done with my less fortunate brothers.

It was a thrill of a race though and if he came in 2nd place it was only by a Chair.

Hehe.....

Sorry about that Wish. Nobody EVER bothers me here.

There's a "Neighborhood Watch" but I'm not a due-paying member to the cheezy-poof meetings.

Outside of being personally invited over to a neighbors house for dinner when I'm outside doing yardwork, they leave me alone and I leave them alone. I've lived here over 3 years in August and not once has somebody even tampered with a lock here even though I'm only 3 miles away from the heart of Gary, IN by the way the crow flys.


For all I know, there is "lore" being built up about me.....

I'm the possibly crazy, potentially cereal-killer dude at the end of the block.

All I know is that anywhere from 8-12 hours I'm away from my home for work at night with nobody else home and nobody has tried to break in for what will be the 3rd Anniversary in August.



They'd be part right.....

Try to break into my next-doors neighbor's house if I'm lucid and you're going to have a day of reckoning you never fathomed.....

Anything I contribute to my block I'm happy to do. If I'm the scary guy at the end of it, I'm cool with that too. :)

Move up to NWI Wish!

It's the BEST of BOTH worlds.....

Everything I LOVED about Illinois with pretty much everything I hated about Illinois nonextant.

I'm on over 17,000 sq/ft property across from a ditch. I have two young struggling families living next and behind me. The house across the street is half a football field away one way, and the other way is a ditch.

Meanwhile, If I have a hankerning for Wendy's it's only 5 blocks away.

I seriously found the perfect house for me. I might not be ready to get rid of all modern conviences, but when I'm at home I'm basically living in the forest.

1. NEVER feel bad about buying anything at goodwill. Paying retail is LUNACY these days, and they help adults with literacy and jobs.

2. Yes, having an eleven year old I've heard "Counting Stars" a hundred times already. It's a fun song, yeah...

3. If the bad side of the fence faces you, it's probably yours then. The leaning and falling on someone would worry me, is all I'm saying. We just put up over a hundred feet of four ft fencing ourselves

4. Can't move north if I ever want to move myself again. We're thinkin' desert when we retire just to get away from the rain... You should try walking a dog. You learn just who the bastards are in your neighborhood, and trust me, they exist...

Hey Wish :)

1. The barely 16 year old kids with seemingly no probs at my local goodwill perplex me.... I can think of at least 10 people I personally know who would be much greater benefited by that part time minimum wage income than the self-induced fertadas there today.

2. Counting Stars IS awesome, and your eleven year old is much smarter than you give credit for.

3. The leaning fence is well beyond the 1,000 sq/ft I dug up and re-seeded. Not my problem. :)

4. Dog walking is a great idea. I know I shouldn't have any reason to need a reason, but maybe I've found a Reason....

I won't post "The Reason" because that song sux....

;)

2. Yes, having an eleven year old I've heard "Counting Stars" a hundred times already. It's a fun song, yeah...

3. If the bad side of the fence faces you, it's probably yours then. The leaning and falling on someone would worry me, is all I'm saying. We just put up over a hundred feet of four ft fencing ourselves

4. Can't move north if I ever want to move myself again. We're thinkin' desert when we retire just to get away from the rain... You should try walking a dog. You learn just who the bastards are in your neighborhood, and trust me, they exist...

How do YOU know the 16 yr old have no problems, maybe they got kicked out or have kids of their own, these things happen...

Well, anyway, most of the ones around here hire people who have low IQ or other disorders so maybe it's a hit or miss thing. Supposedly they do other things for charity because I asked once, and even if they don't rifleing through others people stuff is always fun

And yeah, my kid has great taste in music
