Cooler temps, clean rabbit cages, and homemade chili

90s on Monday and 60s on Tuesday, what a temperature change. Guess it's expected in the fall.. I remember wearing a hoodie and still wrapping in a blanket while watching my daughter do her color gaurd routine during half time at the school football game..
Cooler temps also gets me in the mood for homemade chili.. So I'd like to share my recipe..

The ingredients are simple.    

2 lbs hamburger meat.                                    

1 pkg of Williams chili seasoning.                 

1 small yellow onion.                                        

1 can rotel diced tomatoe and green chillies

2 cans of tomato sauce.                                  

Brown the hamburger meat with onion..( chopped)
Drain..
Mix the diced tomatoes and green chillies and
Seasoning..
Pour the cans of tomatoe sauce in then fill each tomato sauce cans with water and pour in the pan.. Simmer on medium for about 30 min.. Use a laddle and dip some into big bowls and enjoy.. You can add cheese, sour cream, or crackers..


Now I'll move on to my next project from outside..
Cleaning the rabbit cages .. It's a nasty job but someone has to do it.. My cages were stacked 3 high with tarp in between to catch the manure.. I separated them and removed the tarp, while trying not to dump it on me..lol. I still manage to get rabbit poop on me.. It's a given not to wear good clothes while working in animal area..
I managed to get tarps in wheelbarrow and getting it dumped on the spot I plan to till for spring.

Clean cages.. 

Tarps are also use as protection from wind and rain.. I am working on more solid shelter before winter. Temps are still to warm for them to be indoors..                                                                      

Now the cages are clean, I'll begin my breeding of the rabbits..
Next I'll make a temporary chicken coop for the free range hens..
Hope you enjoy my story and let me know if you make the chili... How's the weather where y'all are.
