wanting

  

It's snowing. Yet somehow, it feels like spring. The grass it turning green again, the garlic is shooting up, the water isn't frozen, there are birds everywhere- in the yard. I just took my coffee and walked down to check on the bunnies. It is incredible to be home when the sun is still in the sky. Thanks to a combination of daylight savings and our new work schedule (which is bad for the paychecks but good for our farm-project time.) This week I've accomplished quite a few tedious business tasks, including getting our sales tax identification and making our business official, Luna Acres Homestead, LLC. I started some seeds and then, in desperation, bought a $20 green-house shelf to protect them from the kitties. We also picked up four big steel barrels and a roll of poly-plastic-stuff for the greenhouse last weekend. The frame for the rabbit tractor is almost finished. Oh and I painted name tag signs for all the breeding rabbits. Silly, I know, but sue me. I love animals. After work today we stopped by Tractor Supply and they had chicks. Tons of chicks. What a test of willpower that was. We have to hurry up with this chicken coop already.



 There is so much work to be done, and yet sometimes it's hard to figure out where to start.

Until next time,

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...

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
