Qucikie? Anyone?

I'm only in town for a couple of hours.  There is no internet on the farm. No hot water, spring water from the mountain is piped in.  We cook on a fire, no refrigeration, and no real electricity.  We have 2 solar panels but sometimes that's not enough to charge the phones and use the lights.

Death total:
one rooster - bone disease, could no longer walk.
one dad bunny - we don't know why
one mom bunny - we dont know why, died the day after the dad bunny
Four 1 week old bunnies left behind by mom.  I only had cow milk to feed them.  They were too young!
One baby bunny died of unknown causes
One baby bunny didn't come home after they day outside
One baby bunny due to a snake bite, we think.

I have 3 baby bunnies of 10 left.  I cried a LOT this week.  The bunnies all come to be when I call "here baby bunbuns!"

The last 2 days we've had to chase down the bull 3 times.  Yesterday we got a new mom and baby cow.  We now have 3 mamas, 3 babies and one naughty bull to care for.

More details soon!  I only have limited time in town today for interneting!  xo
