The radar says hail and maybe even severe hail. Everyone's either outside attempting to cover the crops (I think they're insane), refreshing the NEXRAD radar map like crazy, or blogging about it all while eating greek yogurt. I'm a bit lazy compared to the rest.
But some exciting things DID happen today. Zen caught 2 young mice, and me and my dad ripped out some of the weeds in the sideyard (we think they were providing cover for the mice to move around unseen, but now I'm thinking it might just have been cover for Zen. oops.). I also really want to farm. As I've said before. But I think the next thing I want to do is get meat rabbits. I don't know if I could kill them (or even see them killed), and I'm not sure if I like rabbit meat as much as, say, chicken, and it probably is just as easy to raise chickens as rabbits. (Although since I have a bit of a softspot for chickens, it might be hard to see them go.) Anyway, I'll figure out if I can find some rabbit to try, and then maybe help butcher some, if Sue hasn't killed hers already. I want to do this but I'm extremely nervous at the same time. So many unknowns. And the only way to know if I like rabbit meat is to eat rabbit meat, and the only way to know if I could kill or butcher or even take a rabbit to the butcher is to try. So I'll try. As hard as I can. Maybe someday I will know those unknowns, even if the answers are not ideal.
Oh, also, my grandma who lives in Iowa is here for the night. And tomorrow cousin Jay will be flying in from new york to stay here with us.
Expect more blog posts. I have a lot of ideas. And it sounds like with the company, life might get a lot more exciting as well.
And by the way, the worst of the storm's past. We're not going to get hail it seems. Hooray!
