cimoreneThe R-kioski that is the central/default package pickup location for regular mail and several other delivery options (eg the slightly cheaper domestic freight inside long-distance buses... which weird that they're still doing that now I think about it?) has restricted their hours right now, closes at 7 pm on weekdays... that is truly shocking. Not really a problem though. It's in easy walking distance and I could go at any time, but I waited for Wax to be done with work yesterday and we walked together and picked up a new box of insulin pen needles for Snookums.
We still have several more packages to pick up in the near future: bunny kibble (brand is important because dwarf angoras have higher protein requirements than other bunnies, from both the dwarfism and all the extra fur they grow) from Musti ja Mirri, tea tree oil from The Body Shop, a plastic soprano recorder from Thomann.
We also have to buy more fresh greens for bunny salads. Fresh greens just do not keep very long and there's nothing that can be done about that (short of building the greenhouse). We might order them for pickup later, but it doesn't seem necessary yet.
We should probably stop leaving out birdseed soon; the birdsong is changing already and the crocuses are in bloom, even though there's a bit of snow on the ground now and it may still snow this year. I didn't know this before, but Wax says it makes wild birds unhealthy if they eat it through the season when their natural foods are plentiful. I don't want to stop seeing birds through my window though, so when that happens I will have to put a birdbath of some kind out. Maybe I can attract them to nesting materials? I could put tufts of wool and angora fuzz out on the branches near where the feeders are now. Does one make a birdbath or buy one? What does one make it out of?
