Cage Free

There's guys whacking concrete to bits with huge metal posts in our yard the last few days. For some reason, this is the Loud time at our house, Loud and Destructive. We're making way for new spaces, we're making room for our huge tree, we're making room for Barry's dad maybe, to come live here.

There were all these remnants of the cage that was around the back of Moose's house, and I hated to see all that wire thrown out. So Nathan and Katie and I made a new bunny cage with some of the pieces. We were sawing and cussing and poking ourselves with sticks and Nathan was using his drill. But then it got really really fun, cause at sunset we had finished this wonderful cage!! Out back, hidden in the chicken area, an oasis of joy for bunnies, under the trees. We stuck them in and they seemed happy - flopped immediated in their hay-filled litter box to relax.

So tomorrow we can destroy the old eyesore of a cage in our driveway. It was heaps of sand and spiders. Should be fun to take apart.

Of course I didn't play with Lilly all day because we were doing the cage - this was after Nathan's orthodontist appt where the doctor said oh your kids are so well behaved and then ten minutes later in the car I'm telling them they're assholes for fighting the instant we get in the car. Course I said "jerk" because we're PG rated.

Anyway, it was nice to finish something useful. Tomorrow I'll try to relax. We do have to put a door on the new cage - but I'm sure Nathan can help us figure it out.
