Yep, the heat is the only reason they are inside. They will get booted out again once fall rolls around.....and this fall/winter/spring I will work on converting my chicken coop to a rabbit/chicken house and next summer a window air unit will go in. These cages just happen to be the exact size to all fit along one wall of the chicken coop

Yep, big long ones. The leaves turn really pretty pink, orange, and red in the fall (thats how I find new patches each year, watch for the signature leaves and then remember the location for next year.) and the berries usually turn black/red when ripe. They have seeds inside.
I spent 8 hours at the ER last night and am waiting on dr's to call me cuz I'm confused.
So been feeling crummy and had chest pressure and mega headaches...they did chest x-rays, ct scan of my brain, and blood panels. The ct scan came out negative so my headaches may be attributed to my herniated discs in my neck, I don't know. They ran 2 heart markers for my blood and the first one was above the normal and the second one was negative so they said it was my call to be admitted or go home...but as the dr. said it, it sounded like, you're ok, you can go home but because of your heart disease I do have enough evidence to admit you...but it's your call but I have to document it...so it was like...huh? I guess he just has to cover his butt but at that point spending 8 hours there because they were so busy and plus they gave me a shot in the arm that was stronger than morphine cuz of the headache...which made a huge improvement on my neck pain and headaches but then replace that pain with the feelings of jitteryness and anxiety so I wanted to run screaming from my room but I was plugged into heart monitor, finger thingy monitoring my oxygen levels, arm cuff, and oxygen up my nose...but then when they unhooked me to go to the bathroom my head was all woozy and running probably wound't have been a good idea. I think I'd rather live with the pain then feel that way again.
So now that I'm more coherant I'd like to understand the blood stuff, so I'm waiting on a call...but of course both of my dr's are on vacation...le sigh...at least the heart dr. that's taking over my heart dr.'s stuff is the guy that did my second surgery...I liked him...even if he scared me telling the cold hard truth about how my surgery went. So to say I'm scared and nervous about my health...well...I am...so that's where we are.
I just want my life back...that means, my girls and everything ok with the house...things paid, my car fixed, things in order...and feelin better than I do.

I have em at my old house and my girls always picked em and threw them at the chickens...and I do mean, threw them AT the chickens...if they hit the rooster or any other chicken or duck...they'd be so pleased with themselves. It was kinda funny watching them fight over the berries and get one and run with it.
I've never had a gooseberry, but I'd sure like to try them. I admire the bushes in the catalogs every year, but haven't ordered one because I'm not sure we'd like them.
sparkles, DH says he doesn't care if we go blueberry picking as long as we're within a half hour of a hospital. Bee allergy on my part. Good thinking on his part. Do you know how far the farm is from GR?
boo, congrats on the new grandbaby! Debi, congrats on the new ride! Bows,
on the house. Duckie and Algae and maple,
for all of you. Nells,
as usual. Iowa Roo Mom, I am sorry your job sucks so much right now.
Boyd, good job on keeping your wabbits alive through that nasty heat wave.
