painting my new studio - before

what a mess
I have been going non-stop this weekend. I painted the main room when you enter our home, it was traditionally a living room, open with the kitchen, with a long hallway on one end leading to bedrooms and a bathroom, and a hall with the laundry room on the other side of the room, leading to our bedroom. I painted the space orange and yellow when we first moved back in (that was around 2011.) I liked it then but man it had worn out it's welcome with me. I went with a fresh minty green, its a very light shade, with all white trim. 

The pictures don't do it justice, and I still have a lot of work to do setting everything back up. 
I think I really like it, though.

Before pictures:


old windows - what to do with this space.... i have lots of ideas
gross yellow walls (notice the old fan...)
always a messy painter
the other walls were orange / coral, also very ugly
You will have to come back to see the after pictures!

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

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...
