getaway part two - Union Station

 The drive to Harrisonburg only took us about two and a half hours. It was a relaxing journey, with beautiful fall scenery to enjoy. We arrived in downtown Harrisonburg around noon and immediately began to seek sustenance. The Union Station Restaurant and Bar had caught my attention online when I was researching this trip, and when we stumbled upon it we just had to try it out. It is on the second floor of an old warehouse building, which they saved from being demolished when an old seed store went out of business. The decor is industrial chic, lots of iron work and dark wood. The bar is tucked into a corner, you hardly know it's there. As for the food, I very rarely eat soup in a restaurant, but when the waitress said the soup of the day was chorizo chili, I just had to give it a try. Paired with a griled cheese sandwich, it was an incredible lunch. Jonathan enjoyed his panini just as much. We left feeling full and satisfied. I would highly recommend giving it a shot if you are ever in downtown Harrisonburg.

 
   
   

It was a delightful way to start our trip.

Until next time,

a tribute to Zaphod

It has been nearly a month since the untimely death of our dearest kitty. It is late tonight, I cannot sleep and my mind is filled with grief and sorrow still. I have heard it said that loving animals is only setting oneself up for pain in the end. I may have believed it, but until now I have never felt it. Not to say that I have not lost a pet in the past, in fact several, but fortunately they had all lived long and happy lives before old age and illness took them away. This cannot be said for Zaphod. His life only lasted two short years, and it is the knowing he was meant to spend another decade with us that pains me the most.  We adopted Zaphod when he was only five weeks old, a tiny grey fuzz ball too small to eat. He refused a bottle or wet food, and we honestly worried he was not going to survive those first few days. After several trips to the vet for IV fluids and two weeks of force feeding, he accept a bowl of dry food for his first real meal, despite...

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...
