there's a storm coming

"There's a storm coming,

but it won't match

the storms inside darling,

that's for sure."

New Year's Resolutions are something everyone has a different opinion about,

and I've been through them all.

Too many, not enough,

two weeks of giving up a bad habit

then always resorting to my old ways.

Work out more. Eat out less. Stop drinking soda. Quit smoking.

I always start out with the best intentions,

unfortunately that's about as far as I usually get.

Well, this year is going to be different.

I am giving myself one big challenge to complete in 2015,

something I have wanted to do for years, and started to do in November:

Write a book.

My goal is to have a complete final draft by the end of the year.

A work of fiction,

a woman retelling her struggle with anxiety and depression.

Something I am very familiar with and feel compelled to write about.

Inspired by some of my own experiences,

and the struggles of others I have known over the years.

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

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...
