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 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 my

a new chapter

Things are changing around here.  I haven't even finished my cob series, but life just keeps getting in the way. Jonathan and I are currently looking for a new place to call home. Sometimes you have to accept that things aren't working, and do something different.  Unfortunately we are going to have to quit our farmers market. We are looking for homes for our animals, and selling off what we can. We will miss everyone so much, but his is a new chapter in our lives. We are excited about finding a place closer to our friends and family, where we can visit and hang out more often. We can't wait to have a house to call our own again, or an apartment, or whatever it may end up being. We haven't had a place all our own since we lived in the studio apartment just after getting back together. I think that was in 2010, whew! It hurts to have to start over, but we are trying not to be discouraged. We have confidence in ourselves and each other, and we're gonna be just fine

the point is

My aunt, my dad's sister, came to stay last night. She has never stayed the night before, in fact we haven't ever seen her too much, holidays and whatnot. Several times a year. She is a nice lady, but she has some issues, we'll leave it at that. My problem is this: as soon as we arrived home last night, around 9:30 at night, after being gone since 9 that morning, the moment we see each other, the first words out of her mouth are, "you're poor bunny rabbits are freezing to death out there!" Imagine my long exasperated sigh here. Having farm animals isn't the same as having pets. I think Jon Katz said it best in a post last week, "I can give them shelter, warm water, good hay, I cannot make them comfortable or keep them warm, they accept their lives." We raise rabbits
