Cold, blustery day

The day started out fairly warm and rainy.  Spent the morning cleaning the rabbit cages and moving rabbits here and there.  Oleander has weaned her kits, and I moved her to a cage of her own.  She looks beautiful, and will be ready for the New Years eve show.   Gave Maybelline a "harecut".   The 2 New Zealand does are due to kindle this week, so they got nest boxes.  Just as I left the barn, it started to snow hard, but we did not get any accumulation, and the 2 inches we had melted away in the rain last night. 
I made an apple pie after lunch - what a wonderful smell filled the kitchen.  Then tried my hand at rabbit liver pate.  What I licked off the spoon tastes GOOD!   Once its chilled, I'll post a picture of the finished product.  If it turns out well, I'll make a batch to pass out to customers at the farmers market this coming Saturday.  This will be the last market of the year, since the next 2 Saturdays are holidays. 
Chuck is down at the barn, moving the BFL ewe flock from the far pasture close into the barn area.  Its time to start feeding them hay, and remove the breeding rams.   The 3 rams will get moved into a pen in the barn to hang out together this winter, and the four remaining ram lambs will move across the road into the feeder lamb barn.  
The sun has dropped behind the hills to the west, and the wind is really picking up.  We are to have 17 degrees tonight, and that is the high for tomorrow, so the wind chills will be unpleasant.    A dinner of rabbit and dumplings, with apple pie for dessert sounds pretty good right now!
