Ouch, that hurts

My  finger is really sore as one of our rabbits bit it this morning!  I didn't know rabbits would bite?  Well they do.  I guess the poor girl was hungry, I was filling her feeder when she decided to latch onto my little pinky.  It makes it hard to type........so this will be short.

The insurance adjuster came this morning.  The building that burned was not listed on the policy, so not covered, which we pretty much knew.  Only the garage and 2 open sided sheds were listed.  The other little buildings (misc. chicken houses and such) are really not worth enough to insure.  Until this happens, then you wish they were!  But the garage siding will have to be replaced and he said he would include the shingles on that side also. 

So, since we felt that we should wait until he came to start clean up, we did get a little done on that this afternoon.  We picked up all of the tin, which made a huge difference in the looks of things.  The roof was tin and also the sides were lined with tin inside the building, so quite a bit of tin was laying around.

No baking today, a little laundry, chores and just everyday things other than that.  Hubby has been promoted to dish washer for a few days!

Country Blessings,

Oh yes, rabbits bite and it hurts! Madison's dwarf hotot tries to eat my coat when it gets close enough to her cage and will also nibble/bite at your fingers as she apparently is starving to death and sees everything as food. Let me know if it gets to be a habit, I have a few tricks that can help cure the behavior.
It's good to hear that some of what you lost is covered by your insurance. That always helps, even if it doesn't cover everything.
Good luck with the new "dishwasher"! lol

Sure hope the bunny bite is better. I have only had rabbits once in my life and loved them-they were strictly pets when my two older ones were little. They do have their moments of mischief, though. Hope all is coming along well with getting everything re-done after the fire. God bless you, I can't imagine going through such a thing. We are keeping you in our prayers.
