things you've been missing




It's been a crazy amazing few months! I am thankful to tell you that Jonathan and I are settling into this new chapter of our lives very comfortably. Life gives us so many opportunities, it's scary to take them sometimes, but the risky ones are definitely worth it. We just got back online, so I will try to get back into the rhythm of things, slowly. I have to say it has felt a bit like vacation, not thinking about this space. Not taking pictures, writing, sharing. A part of me misses it, but a pretty big part also likes the feeling of invisibility. 
Any-hoo, here's a few of the things you've been missing, which I will try to share in more detail soon;


  • The Wedding: two of our best friends were married on Friday the 13th
    • there was planning, decorating, and shopping trips
    • bachelor and bachelorette parties, rehearsal dinners and a bridal shower
    • a whole array of last minute crises and disasters
    • amazing times had by all, tons of photos, food, dancing, and love
  • Our New Place: we found an adorable duplex in Salem
    • all the farm animals were rehomed successfully
    • midnight u-haul packing, and moving everything by ourselves
    • a housewarming cookout, lots of new puppy friends for Trilli
  • New York City: we had the adventure of a lifetime and the city stole my heart
    • the six of us (our usual crew) rented a van and drove to Jersey
    • caught a crowded train into Manhattan and checked into a luxury hotel
    • saw The Slackers on a cruise ship while sight seeing all of NYC
    • spent a day exploring Times Square, Central Park, and Midtown
    • it was absolutely the most amazing trip of my whole life

I can't wait to share more about all of these adventures, plus things to come. We are now finishing up the planning for my sister, Amy's wedding in October, which will bring lots of new things to write about. It was a nice break, but it feels good to be writing again. Fall is creeping into the air, and I am curled in our comfy chair with a cup of hot coffee and a blanket, and things feel just perfect. Goodnight friends :)

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...

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
