Here’s to a New Year, a New Leaf, and a New House!

Dream Butchering Board
So, even though I am no longer raising rabbits right now, I still intend on butchering the ones that I buy at livestock auction. I just got a new Dutch […]
End of Camp Acres
Another one of the baby Californians died this week. They had plenty of food and water, and were slowly added on to grass. I think we may have introduced them […]
Bunny Love!
I think that my scale must have been broken when I did the first weigh in on the rabbits. (I have had nothing but issues with this digital scale). The […]
Spicy Chicken Burgers

Chicken Program #2: Finished Tractor!
We made many different colors of paint (acrylic) available to girls aged 6-9 (and the helping CIT2’s). I didn’t know exactly what would happen in this mural of craziness, but […]
Chicken Program #1
So, last week, I featured the rabbit program. They are still majorly successful due to the cute, fuzzy factor. Well, what about the chickens? Today, I was going to do […]

Bloo and I finished the chicken tractor before lunch today. It is a beautiful masterpiece, even though some of the plywood got warped in the storm we had Tuesday night. […]
