catching up

I haven't felt much like writing the past few days. In fact I haven't felt much like doing anything. I haven't been sick really, although nausea and headaches did come and go, and my head is all allergy-fogged, but more than anything I just feel exhausted. Making the rounds to check the animals leaves me gasping for breath. Fortunately we didn't have any major plans this weekend so I mainly rested. 

There are a few things we accomplished this week:

1. put the new handles on the kitchen cabinets and scrubbed them
2. cleaned the sides and back of the stove and refridgerator
3. set up inside cat boxes (I will share more on that later)
4. made a menu for the upcoming month using all natural recipes from Healthy Choices
5. planned a shopping list to the Good Food Good People Co-op and Eats Natural Foods
6. researched recipes for homemade breads, cereal, zone bars, and more
7. cleaned the house
8. had dinner with my sister and her fiance here at the farm (Sunday)
9. had dinner with my sister and her fiance at their place in town (Thursday)
10. plus all the usual chores, firewood, animals, maintenance and more that is never ending


Oh yeah, and I just started my first sourdough. I will have to share more about that later, too.

Until next time,

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...

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
