family first - a summer visit

This week my sisters three kids came to stay on the farm with us, the first time we have ever had all three of them together. I love them all so much, but we don't get to see them often. They all live in Wytheville, which is about an hour and a half drive from home. Reading that statement, I realize how close it actually is, it's just the convenient excuse we have for our infrequent visits. We need to see each other more often, much more often. Unfortunately I did have to work nearly every day they were here, but there is still time afterwards and between. They took the farm like naturals, helping all of us with the feeding and watering. Spoiling the rabbits with love and affection. We were inspired by my sister Amy's new homemade scarf, and made three of our own, personalized with some wooden beads. I love all three, but I have to admit Brittany's tye-dye one is the coolest.

Also, a few random shots of our rotten mutts.

Until next time,

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
