an experiment in free writing


I am sitting at our dining table, sipping coffee and eating oatmeal, preparing for another day. I am trying to think of a topic to write about, but not having much success, so I decided to use an old high school english class tool- free writing. The idea is to put words to paper for a few minutes, even if you don't have an idea of what to write, just to get your brain going. I have tons of ideas for great blogs, the problem is I never get around to taking the right photos at the right time to make it all come together. Perhaps I will share some of my ideas? I've been thinking it would be fun to make some food posts, since I have been cooking much more here on the farm. It isn't anything fancy, but simple home made meals and treats, using what I have and can find. Another idea is art posts. Since stocking up on card stock a few weeks ago I have been a paper project machine. Since it is Mother's Day coming up this weekend, I am working on gifts for my dear mothers (mine and Jonathan's, whom we both consider our own.) This afternoon I will begin putting them together (with camera in hand, for once!) Music and poetry are two other topics which provide endless posts, though not as personal as the others (since I can neither play music nor write poetry.) The farm obviously gives me a plethera of ideas worthy of blogging, it is only a matter of putting them together. I have been working on an interesting and informative post about chickens, which I will (hopefully!) get finished sometime this week. The last idea I have been mulling over is writing several blogs and uploading them at the same sitting (since I do not have steady access to the internet), and I can schedule them to post on certain days and times. That means- I could have a whole weeks worth of posts, actually online! Well it is nearing time to get outside and break a sweat, so for now, farewell. Any feedback regarding my ideas is welcome!

a tribute to Zaphod

It has been nearly a month since the untimely death of our dearest kitty. It is late tonight, I cannot sleep and my mind is filled with grief and sorrow still. I have heard it said that loving animals is only setting oneself up for pain in the end. I may have believed it, but until now I have never felt it. Not to say that I have not lost a pet in the past, in fact several, but fortunately they had all lived long and happy lives before old age and illness took them away. This cannot be said for Zaphod. His life only lasted two short years, and it is the knowing he was meant to spend another decade with us that pains me the most.  We adopted Zaphod when he was only five weeks old, a tiny grey fuzz ball too small to eat. He refused a bottle or wet food, and we honestly worried he was not going to survive those first few days. After several trips to the vet for IV fluids and two weeks of force feeding, he accept a bowl of dry food for his first real meal, despite my

a new chapter

Things are changing around here.  I haven't even finished my cob series, but life just keeps getting in the way. Jonathan and I are currently looking for a new place to call home. Sometimes you have to accept that things aren't working, and do something different.  Unfortunately we are going to have to quit our farmers market. We are looking for homes for our animals, and selling off what we can. We will miss everyone so much, but his is a new chapter in our lives. We are excited about finding a place closer to our friends and family, where we can visit and hang out more often. We can't wait to have a house to call our own again, or an apartment, or whatever it may end up being. We haven't had a place all our own since we lived in the studio apartment just after getting back together. I think that was in 2010, whew! It hurts to have to start over, but we are trying not to be discouraged. We have confidence in ourselves and each other, and we're gonna be just fine

the point is

DISCLAIMER: This post contains material that may be considered graphic or inappropriate to some individuals. Continue at your own risk. You have been warned. Ok.Thanks.Carry on. My aunt, my dad's sister, came to stay last night. She has never stayed the night before, in fact we haven't ever seen her too much, holidays and whatnot. Several times a year. She is a nice lady, but she has some issues, we'll leave it at that. My problem is this: as soon as we arrived home last night, around 9:30 at night, after being gone since 9 that morning, the moment we see each other, the first words out of her mouth are, "you're poor bunny rabbits are freezing to death out there!" Imagine my long exasperated sigh here. Having farm animals isn't the same as having pets. I think Jon Katz said it best in a post last week, "I can give them shelter, warm water, good hay, I cannot make them comfortable or keep them warm, they accept their lives." We raise rabbits
