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,

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

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

the dogs of luna acres - always ready to go

Our little farm is quite over run with animals, although most of them not the working farm type. The three dogs take turns guarding the place and sleeping on the couch. They all have their flaws and strengths, but not one of them what most would consider "well trained". We love them all the same, we know it our own fault for not working harder for them. We are blessed with space for them to run relatively free on their own. The yard this time of year is littered with deer legs and bones, the occasional head or spinal cord. It's a good life for these dogs. Trilli and Dakota ready to go Dakota eating the snow Bandit, the oldest pup, is still always ready for a walk, even if he doesn't make it all the way there the view this afternoon It's funny, even with all the freedom, they are always ready to go for a walk. Until next time, Angela Kelly
