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,

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...
