spring cleaning begins

After officially kicking all the cats out of the house yesterday, my spring cleaning has finally began. Begun. Whichever. I started with one of the dirtiest places in the house- the laundry room. Everything was moved, gone through, scrubbed down, swept, vacuumed, mopped, and reorganized from top to bottom. I am exhausted, but feel very accomplished.

Although Jonathan does not much participate in my seasonal cleaning escapades, he did stay busy this afternoon building our first homemade rabbit cage. It's about time for some more rabbits!

Oh yeah, and I think I bought about 400 seed onions to plant. Too many, or not enough? There are opinions on each side, but only time will tell.

Until next time,

P.S. The photo is Zae being pitiful and adorable on the way to the vet this morning.

planting broccoli

Last year I was too late to start the early season plants, but not this time!  I even used my farmers almanac calender to plan the dates to start seeds!  I sure hope this broccoli grows!  It's like a little sneak peak of spring... Until next time, Angela Kelly

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...

welcome home

Well things do change quickly. We have been back home for just over a week now, after reaching the breaking point at the farm. I won't go into the gory details here (I do try to save the negative for my family and Jonathan to hear), but we are very happy to be home. We are excited to be starting our own farm, though it will be a slow process. There are already signs of accomplishment, we cleaned up a rabbit hutch from a neighbor, and have spent a reasonable amount of time in the wood pile. I have been working on the social media for the farm, you can see the facebook page here , and I will have the blog up in a few days. I decided to create a new and separate blog for the farm, because I still want to fill this space with my creativity and our life together, but I need something to be a little more focused and professional for marketing. So- you have two blogs to read! (Well, you will soon.)  Until next time, Angela Kelly
