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 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...

love and communication

That's how life has felt lately, like a storm of anger and frustration. Thankfully things have turned around this last week, and life is sunny again. It's cold outside, and thanks to my distaste for winter weather (thank you, seasonal depression) farm projects have been relatively non-existent, except caring for the rabbits, who have settled into the farm quite nicely. I am still working on our master plan, which I cannot wait to share when it's finished.  Christmas and New Years were a blur with everything going on, but we still enjoyed ourselves (in doses). We spent time with both of our families, and ate entirely too much good food. New Years was also our anniversary, it has been an incredible three years sweetheart. We didn't do anything too fancy, but we did enjoy dinner, a few drinks with my sister (if that doesn't show you how important she is to us) and a couple of good movies. We did have the weekend off together to cuddle and do mushy couple stuff...
