Jonathan's adorable niece Madi

I apologize for the absence, I don't even have a very good excuse other than- I just haven't felt like writing. I haven't felt like taking pictures. I don't know that it's laziness as much as feeling like I'm hibernating. The winter is not my favorite time of year. I spend nearly all the daylight hours trapping inside four walls. We get off work just in time to watch the sun drop behind the mountain. I long for warm weather and sunshine. There's only 43 days left until spring, when I'm sure to be complaining about how much work there is to be done. Still, I can't wait.

snow chores
my dad's a character

also, visits with good friends (and shared love for the Pietasters)

oh, winter

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...
