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 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...

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
