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.

I found this drawing I did a few years ago

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

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

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...
