We were up at the crack of dawn, 5:45 am when Gunnar, the four-year-old human rooster,\u00a0 decided to have a solo morning concert. Gunnar, the morning’s reality TV star, sounded like a rooster, and I intercepted him on his way to appease the feathery tyrant. I stopped him just in time and sent him off to transform from pajama prince to work warrior.<\/p>\n

We had breakfast, and when the babysitter arrived, we shot out the door like human cannonballs!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The drive home was as smooth as buttered snot, and we made a pit stop at Starbucks for a quick snack. That snack was our lifeline for the next two hours as we navigated through the traffic on the freeway.<\/p>\n

We were home at 11:01 am and quickly unloaded the car, loaded the washing machine, and walked the yard, looking for things we needed to go to Home Depot.\u00a0 \u00a0I bought additional 1\/2″ by 1\/2 ” fencing as the rabbits had been busted; they will not get through this fence!<\/p>\n

Our contractor has torn up the gas line. We are moving it underground and will remove the yellow cable protectors as soon as he is finished.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Bob’s son is doing this work for me.<\/p><\/div>\n

We set up the motion-sensitive sound\/light boxes in the two places where the rabbits tend to attack.\u00a0 Let’s hope it works!<\/p>\n

\"\"

Drive the bunnies crazy, please!<\/p><\/div>\n

I spent two hours making the new cages; no rabbit would get through these holes.<\/p>\n

\"\"

The new cages ought to work well.<\/p><\/div>\n

We admired our grapes, and they are doing amazingly well for being just two years old! We will have table grapes for a month!<\/p>\n

Did You Now? <\/b>California grows 97% of the nations table grapes. Grapes are available in several varieties of green, red and blue including: Fantasy, Flame, Red Globe, Ribier and Thompson.<\/p>\n

Red grapes also contain flavonoids, which help protect our heart, arteries and blood vessels.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Grapes will be for eating in about 45 days.<\/p><\/div>\n

I can see berries shortly.\u00a0 We have raspberries, blackberries, and boysenberries all mixed together.\u00a0 Strawberries are beginning to produce at the base of the berries.<\/p>\n

\"\"

The berries are going wild!<\/p><\/div>\n

As Mary worked inside, I worked outside in the 88-degree heat of the afternoon.\u00a0 I am working on getting a slight tan so I do not look like two toothpicks stuck in a marshmallow on our upcoming Caribbean trip with Colleen and Mark.<\/p>\n

\"\"

I was wearing my camouflage gardening outfit.<\/p><\/div>\n

Vicky called in the afternoon and we decided to do dinner at Renada’s Italian Bistro in Orange at the circle.\u00a0 The Z’s joined us and we had a great time reviewing the Z’s trip to Pittsburgh and our trip to Ireland.<\/p>\n

When we got home, we were done.. beddy-bye time!<\/p>\n
