busy busy bees. finally.

photo from this time last year, when we just arrived on the farm.

There are still two long weeks until spring officially begins, but I can feel it in the air already, despite snow this week. I have been pre-spring cleaning by organizing, re-arranging and decorating the office, the den, and the bedroom. I didn't realize how much I felt like I didn't live here, didn't belong here, until now. When we moved back from the farm so much had changed, we had a house full of people, and while I love them all dearly it felt as if this was no longer "our" home. I'm trying to change that. Now that the house is quieter I am trying to spread our things out of the bedroom (which has been incredibly cluttered and stuffy) into the rest of the house. And you know what? It feels really good.

Next week I plan to start spring cleaning, but first- a big farm work weekend (since the weather is going to be so beautiful and spring-like.) The list includes finishing the first rabbit tractor, assembling the chicken coop frame, visiting neighbors to pick up the floor plastic for the green house and several steel drums for heating, trying to get the tiller running, and hopefully even downing a few trees for mushroom logs.

Whew, I'm tired already.

Until next time friends,

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...

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

baby blue duck eggs make me smile

Since the day before the storm last week we have been getting nearly a duck egg a day. Beautiful baby blue duck eggs. It makes me very happy. The little wicker duckie makes me smile too. I have a red one two, they were goodwill gifts from my sister. I adore them. Until next time, Angela Kelly
