things left undone

Well the first month of the year is over. How time flies. I've been away for awhile, due to technological issues as well as life's chaos being in full force. I'm back now! With some new ideas and new motivation, even though it's been a rough week personally. But first, let's take a look at how January turned out, at least on paper.


It's been a busy month. I'm disappointed in myself for only finishing about half the things I had on my list for the January, but there's always next month. We did good avoiding fast food... for the first two weeks. Then these last two weeks have been pretty much pointless. It's just so hard when we stay in town 3 nights a week and don't have a stocked kitchen of our own. But on a brighter note, I did keep my goal to work out once a week (okay I missed one week, but it's because I was very sick.)


I'm still working on getting in touch with a bankruptcy lawyer, I called, but they never called back. Thanks to clever tax filings I'm getting enough money back to file, so that's a big weight off my shoulders. ($1500 just to prove you don't have any money. nice huh?) I also haven't gotten very far with my resumes, and haven't heard from the interview I had, and don't know if I'm going to get promoted at work or not, career life in general is stressful for me to think about.


I also didn't spend as much time as I wanted with some people in my life. But that seems to be how it always goes. I didn't get to go on a hike. Not even a short one. But there's always next month. So, enough for now. More soon, promise.

Justin and Savannah's Wedding - The Reception

The ceremony was simple and sweet, and the reception was the perfect party. A band on the porch, delicious food and drinks, cake and dancing. It was an epic night for everyone involved.   Until next time, Angela Kelly

puppy play date

Yesterday Trilli got to have a puppy play date with her best friend, Oreo, and a new boyfriend, Yeti. Everyone in our group has a dog or two, so socializing them is essential. With several large breeds covered in our pack, they can be a bit much at first. Oreo (the pit bull) is quick like lighting, nudging the others with her nose and batting her paws. Trilli (husky and lab) loves to play but has the biggest mouth, constantly barking. We're working on that. Yeti is a basset hound and great Pyrenees mix, still growing and just beautiful. He got along with the girls wonderfully, outside taking turns pouncing on each of them. It's great to watch a pack of dogs together, it's so natural for them, their own kind; friends.  Hopefully next time I'll remember to bring my camera! Until next time, Angela Kelly

a few lessons in rabbit husbandry

We now have two years of experience under our belts raising rabbits. We have learned a lot of useful information already, but we are far from experts. That's the thing with farming, with raising animals, you will never be done learning. Bring it on. As of today we have 17 rabbits in our little group, and the more animals you have the more likely you are to have problems. Here are a few of ours: the girls The first problem we had is with the smallest litter we have, which we have had in a large dog crate on the grass. They are starting to get pretty big, and coming of age, they are starting to get a little frisky. This is bad news bears. I was out watching them and saw three boys ganging up on one girl, so in a hurry I fixed up a cage and moved her into it. She was visibly shaken, breathing quickly, her hair a mess with tufts pulled out (that was the first sign I saw that something was going on.) The next d...
