I start asking questions. Mr Spot had walked out to his car and left the door open. He looked up and something was hopping into the house.<br /><br />We searched and searched to no avail. After giving up we went on to bed, leaving the door open so the little creature could hop outside.<br /><br />At 1:55 I hear little thumper in my bathroom. I start tapping Mr. Polka Spot on the leg, until he wakes. We go to investigate.<br /><br />When we look into the tub, there we find....<br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">LITTLE BUNNY FOO FOO<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/32497048@N00/2375498104/" title="P3280159 by sweetrattle, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2264/2375498104_a5f5743589.jpg" width="500" height="375" alt="P3280159" /></a><br /></div> Mr Polka Spot saves lite little fellow<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/32497048@N00/2377546768/" title="bunny-web-2 by sweetrattle, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3099/2377546768_ed4ab32926.jpg" width="375" height="500" alt="bunny-web-2" /></a><br /><br /></div> Awe how sweet!!!!We talk to him and pet him for a few minutes, and he's perfectly content to be held. So what do we do with him until we can move the cage the next afternoon?<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/32497048@N00/2376702965/" title="Bunny-for-web by sweetrattle, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2253/2376702965_6803689852.jpg" width="375" height="500" alt="Bunny-for-web" /></a><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/32497048@N00/2377616362/" title="bunny-for-web-3 by sweetrattle, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2144/2377616362_839eeb8389.jpg" width="375" height="500" alt="bunny-for-web-3" /></a><br /></div><br />Put him in the Polka Spot Kids' gallon sized pickle jar!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/32497048@N00/2377618754/" title="bunny-for-web-4 by sweetrattle, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2143/2377618754_bd2ac96dbd.jpg" width="375" height="500" alt="bunny-for-web-4" /></a><span style="text-decoration: underline;"></span><br /><span style="text-decoration: underline;"></span></div> <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><br /></span>So what next? I kept him in the jar, or the bathtub for most of the next day. I did take him out to pet and hold while watching tv for about an hour. Mr. Spot came home with a lovely cage, we put him in it then went to deliver Polka Spot Son6 to his mother. When we made it home he had escaped!!!<br /><br />Now we are shopping for another bunny. We are thinking of maybe a breeding pair next time.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2279313594926062024-9023175929127229849?l=polkaspotfarm.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Christihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05044237162813504816noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2279313594926062024.post-65551587738618816482008-03-31T11:05:00.000-07:002008-03-31T20:07:23.840-07:00Wordless Wednesday: Wednesday Edition<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3117/2376787595_9140be2d8a_m.jpg"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/32497048@N00/2376787595/" title="polka-spot-girl-for-web by sweetrattle, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3117/2376787595_9140be2d8a.jpg" width="375" height="500" alt="polka-spot-girl-for-web" /></a></a><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2279313594926062024-6555158773861881648?l=polkaspotfarm.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Christihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05044237162813504816noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2279313594926062024.post-72605680557469919402008-03-24T09:21:00.000-07:002008-03-24T09:52:37.936-07:00<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/32497048@N00/2357733219/" title="Polka-Spot-Kids by sweetrattle, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3029/2357733219_4682db0d93.jpg" width="500" height="375" alt="Polka-Spot-Kids" /></a><br /><br /><br />The polka spot kids helped on Good Friday. I think it was early to start but Mr. Polka Spot thinks we will be ok. Worst case scenario we can replant some things.<br /><br />From plants we started roma tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, onions, bellpeppers, chyenne pepper, jalepeno peppers, some other peppers that I don't remember.<br /><br />From seeds we started pink eyed purple hull peas, green lima beans, kale, spinach, salad mix, romaine, cantalope, watermelon and broccli.<br /><br />Today the plan is to start the herbs, but I think that I will wait for a little while. We found some cool hanging pots for the Patio. Mr. Polka Spot hung them yesterday.<br /><br />If you've missed it, I have a personal blog over at <a href="http://sweetsouthernknits.blogspot.com">Sweet Southern Knits</a><br />I will try to move all of my gardening posts from there to here over the next few months. I have lots on my plate right now so I know it won't be in the next 3 weeks.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2279313594926062024-7260568055746991940?l=polkaspotfarm.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Christihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05044237162813504816noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2279313594926062024.post-50613535694076653192008-03-05T15:42:00.000-08:002008-03-05T15:43:55.973-08:00Now we have a name!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2279313594926062024-5061353569407665319?l=polkaspotfarm.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Christihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05044237162813504816noreply@blogger.com0
