meet Hopper

Spring has sprung, and it is a busy time when you are starting a farm AND working a real job. There just aren't enough hours in the day, and some nights I feel so tired I just don't have the energy to accomplish much. I feel like the list of unaccomplished tasks is growing too rapidly, but we are making progress, and I know everything will get done in due time. I wrote about the growing animals over on the farm blog, check it out, here. For now, just one. This is Hopper, one of the only two bucks we have, and he has had a messed up foot since we got him, and my nephew, Stephen, suggested the name Hopper (although not because of his foot, but because of how he hopped away from strange children's hands, smart bunny.) He is a sweet boy and we hope to keep him for many years. 



Until next time,

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
