the view from the second story we were building onto the cob house I am so behind! The past few weeks have been so hectic, I just haven't had time to catch up. It doesn't help that my laptop will no longer pick up the internet, making it more difficult for me to update conveniently.  I just need to work out a new routine. Anyways, onto some of the things you've been missing! - We spent five days in Kentucky at Disputanta Cob, where we learned how to build a cob house from the ground up. It was an amazing trip, truly life changing for Jonathan and I. We feel so confident in our abilities to provide for our own construction needs now. I will go into more (much, much more) detail about the cob workshop in upcoming posts. - My baby sister, Amy celebrated a birthday. She has always been my best friend in the entire world, and we are closer now than ever before. We had a cookout at her house on her birthday with my parents, then on Saturday we went to dinner at a...

cheers! The second half of our Easter Sunday involved a cookout lunch  at my sisters beautiful house in Salem, followed by visiting with our bestie Savannah. It was an amazing night. I have the greatest friends. Deacon and Amy my sweetheart happy happy day my sister Amy is my best friend in the universe Savannah is quickly becoming one of my friends too, and it's been a long, long time since I could say I had one :) Until next time, Angela Kelly  loves. forever and ever.

Rose was one of my favorite does from the beginning. Her soft brown fur and warm eyes just sucked me in. She's proved to be an excellent mother as well. One of her kits right now is black with blue eyes, and just precious. Until next time, Angela Kelly

Donna has been a great rabbit so far. She has large litters, and takes care of them well. It is a plus that of all our rabbits, she is the best breed for meat production. There is one little one that has always come to the front of the cage to say hello since it opened it eyes. I hope it's a girl, I would love to use our first baby to expand our colony of does. Until next time, Angela Kelly

 We moved the ducks yesterday. They always love getting fresh grass, leaves and dirt to peck through. Penny sent us a new kiddie pool.  We can't really level it up, but they still love it. I have been searching for some more duckies to add to the flock, but so far I haven't had any luck, except for ducklings. Maybe after the cob workshop. Until next time, Angela Kelly

We spent most of the weekend in town, celebrating Easter with our friends and family. I tried to make up for lost time today. Cleaned the house, caught up laundry, we moved the ducks, and I planted a bunch of seeds for the garden. Tonight we fixed the pull-cord on the tiller, we are making progress! Until next time, Angela Kelly

a dirty yard  We accomplished a lot this weekend! An unexpected task we did was put several loads of dirt on the front yard, to fill in the bare spots where grass won't grow. Now we just need to get some grass seed! We might have a pretty yard this summer. Jonathan's new doc martens plants are coming to life the garden to be the logs to be inoculated for mushrooms I just love the pear tree It looks like a storm is coming... Until next time, Angela Kelly

shy babies peeking out from behind the nest box  It was such a gorgeous weekend, and we accomplished quite a bit around the farm.  We are up to twenty one baby rabbits now! The first litters are growing so fast. Jonathan's mom Penny sent us two new kiddie pools,  the ducks are in heaven again. Amy, our newest mom ducky ducks the friendlies new baby, he/she always comes out to say hello Trilli does't understand why the yard is covered in dirt Back to the grind tomorrow. Until next time, Angela Kelly

Donna and one of her babies  It was so beautiful this afternoon, even though my shoulder hurts (I pulled a muscle somehow yesterday) I forced myself outside for a bit. I cleaned out a few rabbit cages, watched the ducks, enjoyed the sunshine. Everything is starting to turn so very green, soon the trees will be full and shady, the garden tilled and planted, the rabbits out on grass. I love this time of year. duckies one of the Pekins spotty bunny this guy got to have a girlfriend last weekend ;-) liking their fresh hay Rose and one of her little babes. So adorable. Until next time, Angela Kelly

Everything is coming to life. broccoli, still my only plant so far pretty flower my ivy is going well the pear tree blooming a little plant I am trying to perk back up for my grandmother I hope you are enjoying this beautiful weekend. Until next time, Angela Kelly  I love love love my little tree! Thanks again, Penny!

Bandit catching some sun  The animals are loving this warm sunny weather. Walking around outside is an adventure, watching them run about, mingle with each other, play and climb and chase things. Life without animals would be very boring. the pups hanging out in the yard Trilli (left) and Dakota (right) in the yard Dakota bear is a very handsome dog Do you have any animals that keep your life interesting? Until next time, Angela Kelly  Zae hiding in one of the many houses we have set up for the kitties
