of Christmas and New Years Eve - here's to the next chapter

Zae likes our new quilt
"Just because something needs to be said,
doesn't necessarily mean that it needs to be heard."

Trilli was very tuckered out after all the Christmas excitement (also, new couch cover for Christmas)
Christmas was wonderful but also very challenging, and I wrote about it but I'm not sure that it needs to be shared. There are words running through my veins that need to spill out, but I am so hesitant to share too much information.. too much truth about my self, my past, my scars. At the same time, there's so much past inside my present (feist). Perhaps another day.

plant explosion
There was delicious food. Gifts. Family. Friends. It was truly a lovely day, until my grandmother's blood pressure dropped causing her to drift in and out of consciousness. Many tears were shed and while my mom and big sis went to the hospital with her the rest of us (my little sister, the guys, and my nieces and nephew) hugged and shared stories and held hands and just loved her. She is home and recovering now, and I just love her so very much. 

still in the process of redecorating
After my last post about societies materialism, I can say that even the youngest in our family realize what is important. Some presents were even lost and mixed up in the chaos, but they were all very focused on the family, and it was just very touching. 

Jonathan's sister always knows what to get him!
Today is New Year's Eve. It also marks five years since Jonathan and I found our way back to each other, after a year lost, wandering the world hollow and alone. From our little studio apartment in the city, to a giant farm hours from home on the internship, to starting our own little farm, and finding our way back to the city- it has been a great adventure. The very best parts are just about to begin. We announced to friends and family that our wedding will be on April 18th at our little house on the river. Here's to the next chapter.

new quilt + old canopy + kittens = perfect daydreams
Until next time,

a new beginning

Hello there strangers. I'm sharing this with you on my new iPhone. I'm not usually big on having new fancy things, but I'm excited. My absence in this space has been mostly due to a terrible computer that makes it nearly impossible to work on. I hope now I can finally be productive in this space again. I've missed you.

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

raising rabbits: newborns in a wind storm

bunbuns love lettuces :)  We had eighteen baby rabbits last week, the first litters of the year. We also had a super wind storm the very day after they were born, which knocked the hutch over, and nearly scared me to death. We were in town and had to rush the hour home to check on them, and amazingly enough, they all survived. We shuffled them around, moved two moms with babies inside the house, secured the rest, prepared for the storm. We made it through okay. It's been almost a week now, and they are starting to get their fur and move around a lot, so we will be moving them back outside very soon. It has been pretty cool having them so close, keeping an eye on them all the time, watching them grow. Raising rabbits is always an adventure, and we are learning more every day. I sure am enjoying the process, though. the new mommy eating some lettuce newborns more babies - they look like little aliens the rabbits at sunset Until next time, Angela Kelly...
