thankful all year long

The holiday season is upon us. Thanksgiving was incredible this year, despite our family gathering being postponed to the weekend in order to include many important members (my dad and sister). This left us Thanksgiving day itself to visit Jonathan's family, and for the first time ever we enjoyed a holiday united as one. My mom and cousin Billy rode in with us, Dad and Wanda came over later in the evening for dinner, and Amy and Deacon stopped by as well. It really meant a lot to us to have all of our family in one place on a holiday. We love you all so very much. I couldn't thank Mike and Penny enough for having us all.

I have been just awful at keeping up with the social media world as of late, time and energy being devoted instead to real life relationships and activities. This is all well and good, but I do miss sharing. And speaking of sharing- I feel that I have failed to share anything truly personal and meaningful in quite some time. I want this to be a place that displays my life, creativity, and struggles, but also my beliefs and views now and then, when it's appropriate. This is especially true in the area of farming and eating, with us paying such true attention to our diets now a days, and enjoying the knowledge of eating local food (meats in particular). That is for another time, but I do plan to get on it soon!

Until next time,

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

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...

welcome home

Well things do change quickly. We have been back home for just over a week now, after reaching the breaking point at the farm. I won't go into the gory details here (I do try to save the negative for my family and Jonathan to hear), but we are very happy to be home. We are excited to be starting our own farm, though it will be a slow process. There are already signs of accomplishment, we cleaned up a rabbit hutch from a neighbor, and have spent a reasonable amount of time in the wood pile. I have been working on the social media for the farm, you can see the facebook page here , and I will have the blog up in a few days. I decided to create a new and separate blog for the farm, because I still want to fill this space with my creativity and our life together, but I need something to be a little more focused and professional for marketing. So- you have two blogs to read! (Well, you will soon.) Until next time, Angela Kelly
