The Adventures of 2015- Part 5: August & September

August

We threw a surprise birthday party for my bestie, Savannah.



Joan Jett and the Blackhearts

The legendary Joan Jett came to Roanoke's Elmwood Park.




and this.



September

Max

We fostered the sweetest dog, Max, 
until we found him a forever home. 
He melted my heart.




The Flood

 We survived a flood that surrounded our house
with our rad new neighbors.





Backyard Disfunction

An epic backyard punk extravaganza. 
There was way too much wine, 
an insane amount of dirt and dust,
and many many bruises.
It was fun.



 Until next time,

Angela Kelly

planting broccoli

Last year I was too late to start the early season plants, but not this time!  I even used my farmers almanac calender to plan the dates to start seeds!  I sure hope this broccoli grows!  It's like a little sneak peak of spring... 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...

welcome home

Well things do change quickly. We have been back home for just over a week now, after reaching the breaking point at the farm. I won't go into the gory details here (I do try to save the negative for my family and Jonathan to hear), but we are very happy to be home. We are excited to be starting our own farm, though it will be a slow process. There are already signs of accomplishment, we cleaned up a rabbit hutch from a neighbor, and have spent a reasonable amount of time in the wood pile. I have been working on the social media for the farm, you can see the facebook page here , and I will have the blog up in a few days. I decided to create a new and separate blog for the farm, because I still want to fill this space with my creativity and our life together, but I need something to be a little more focused and professional for marketing. So- you have two blogs to read! (Well, you will soon.)  Until next time, Angela Kelly
