Missing bunny and triple digits

One of the bunnies got out of the hutch. Got between the hutch and wire, worked the wire loose (big bunny) and got out. Then daughter and I found a baby bunny under the hutch and reasoned out that the missing bunny was the mother. Baby had an injured leg but not crippled. Brought it in, got some goat milk and been feeding it with a syringe twice a day or as the bunny tolerates, which isn't much. Can't open it's eyes yet but it's feisty!

Hit triple digits here today. Had to harvest the Romaine this morning for fear it would become bitter and run to seed by afternoon if I didn't. Have lots of lettuce on hand. Gave some to the ex, some to the bunnies, saving some for the guy who gave us the bunnies (some for humans and some for his rabbits) and still have a huge covered bowl left for me and the bunnies left over. Guess I'll be eating a lot of salads for a week or so. Iceberg hadn't formed yet, so left it out. It'll either form or run to seed. Leaving some of each out to let it seed, any way. Collect the seeds for later planting when it does.

Had to run the drip irrigation during the day today because all the plants were suffering. Happy to say it helped. Good to know, since temps are supposed to be just as high tomorrow.
