optimism and small changes

Things have been a little bit stressful on a personal note, inside my head, for the last few weeks. 
Today after a busy morning outside, we re-arranged our bedroom during a thunderstorm and I already feel better. I don't write often about the tribulations of our blessings, it would be an outright lie to say that it is always easy to live with my parents. No matter what we do it never truly feels like ours. We got a new corner chair from Jonathan's mom and it fits perfectly under the tree mural I painted, and is so very comfortable. I think that this change to our room will help me feel more like I belong, or something. 

The grass is always greener...

outside things are looking good. Nearly everything in the garden is sprouting. We only have peppers and corn left to plant. The rabbits are growing. We fixed the rabbit tractor so it is completely escape proof. We also got another cage from Jonathan's cousin Pam (thanks again!) that we made into a tractor, which now houses the next litter we just weaned.

potatoes are sprouting and growing fast

We made little name signs for the breeding rabbits.

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.
