this week in pictures

A new Friday ritual perhaps?

It has been a hard week, but it's nice to see the fruits of our labor (if you will). I finally have more pictures to share, and have decided that I will try to start uploading a photo blog every friday with bits and pieces of the week (that way you don't get my nice posts with ten million pictures all at once.) Enjoy!

a painting I just finished

do I really need to explain?

This is Bruno (or Falcor to Jonathan), one of our guard dogs.

I'm loving the flowers blooming all over the place.

Things are growing!

The brooder we made for the chickens.

Close up of the brooder.

This little guy is Nicholas. He is the smallest of three triplet lambs, and is super friendly since he's been bottle fed.

This tiny baby was born on Wednesday.

The baby bunnies are getting so big.

This handsome fellow is a Chinchila rabbit, and he is awesome.

This is Pi, another baby this week.

Meet Werewolf.

He's such a sweetie.

He has gotten a bit fatter since this picture.

dozens and dozens of eggs

how did I get myself into this mess?

One of the little babies born on Wednesday.

There were twin yews (girls) born this morning, and mom seemed to only think she had one baby.

One of another twins born yesterday (I think it was yesterday.)

Some chickens taking a dust bath in their new home today.

They love fresh grass (a little too much since they decided to lay their eggs all over the place!)

Farewell, pretty waitress hands.

Until next time,

a new beginning

Hello there strangers. I'm sharing this with you on my new iPhone. I'm not usually big on having new fancy things, but I'm excited. My absence in this space has been mostly due to a terrible computer that makes it nearly impossible to work on. I hope now I can finally be productive in this space again. I've missed you.

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

raising rabbits: newborns in a wind storm

bunbuns love lettuces :) We had eighteen baby rabbits last week, the first litters of the year. We also had a super wind storm the very day after they were born, which knocked the hutch over, and nearly scared me to death. We were in town and had to rush the hour home to check on them, and amazingly enough, they all survived. We shuffled them around, moved two moms with babies inside the house, secured the rest, prepared for the storm. We made it through okay. It's been almost a week now, and they are starting to get their fur and move around a lot, so we will be moving them back outside very soon. It has been pretty cool having them so close, keeping an eye on them all the time, watching them grow. Raising rabbits is always an adventure, and we are learning more every day. I sure am enjoying the process, though. the new mommy eating some lettuce newborns more babies - they look like little aliens the rabbits at sunset Until next time, Angela Kelly...
