rabbits, mushrooms, and a new car

It has been a stressful few weeks, our car blew up and is still waiting at the bottom of our driveway to be towed to the house. We drove to West Virginia and bought my dream car, a 2004 Subaru Forester. It is already the perfect farm car, with so much storage space for markets. Unfortunately, because of the payments (added on top of our broken down car's payments) and higher insurance, Jonathan has to give up his extra day off from our day job, which means less time to do farm work. It could be worse though, hopefully we will find a way to sell the old car soon enough. We spent today working on more mushroom baskets and weeding the garden which was completely over run. I wrote about the mushrooms and shared more photos on the farm blog, here. The rabbits are growing fast and I love these spotty babies.

 Well, it is late and my comfy bed is calling me. Goodnight.

This is a rabbit we have saved for my sister, Amy. He is quite handsome and survived the great escape.

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
