Swamp Monster

Swamp Monster

We lovingly call her squish and olive but mostly she is swamp monster. She finds all the dirt outside wallows like a pig in mud holes and eat everything. I am constantly yelling what are you eating most times it sticks and socks.  She is the most amazing little dog and is always happy. Olive is a very bright and seems to know when I’m upset as I suddenly find myself covered in squishy Olive.    

The End

The End

We are done with the home improvement of our current home.  The realtor came Thursday and took pictures of our current home.  As soon as we pick a farm property we like we will put our house up for sale (so we don’t become homeless).  I spent all day yesterday relaxing with the dogs.  I canned cream of mushroom soup, made rabbit broth and canned it, sewed squares for my new quilt project, and worked with Olive on obedience.  This…

Missing the buns today

Missing the buns today

At Cacia Farms we like to ensure that all of our rabbits enjoy life as much as possible, even the ones intended for our freezer. We provide them with top quality food, plenty of room to grow and live in, as well as many treats to have. Our adult rabbits that we use for breeding all have unique personalities. Pete loves to run and he also likes to visit his girls. Pete is not a huge fan of hard treats…

Said no farmer ever…

Said no farmer ever…

I feel every farmer out that is always thinking if I had a few more acres, a few more dollars, and few more hours.  In my case it is all of the above recently.  Its very exciting to think about buying a bigger farm but at the same time extremely stressful.  Not only do we have to think about buying a home we will be happy and comfortable in but also one that all of the animals will be happy…

Out of Steam

I spent the day shuttling rabbits to our friends barn for her to watch while we sell our house.  Dixie did remain with us since she has a brand new litter.  Olive went with me today to be my copilot, which she did a great job of.  I stopped to get gas and stopped again for food at sonic on the way.  While we were waiting for our food Olive suddenly realized the car was full of rabbits… excellent observation…

I sit here and watch as the memories play by, The moment when I walked out of this house to marry you. The dinners I made us in the kitchen, The houseplants I killed in this house. We made this house a home for us, Now we are leaving it to someone else. Buying a new house that we must fill, We must start over build a new home. I am over the moon about buying a farm, Looking out…

Snow Angels

Snow Angels

We spent a good portion of the evening moving our rabbit hutches and compost from our backyard into the front yard driveway.  Both the compost as well as the hutches are quite heavy.   The hutches also boast the quality of being both heavy, large, and awkward.  We used a sled to pull them through the 2 foot deep snow.  Once they were in the driveway I was so happy to be done with this project I flopped down in…

Spring

Spring

Our family in more southern states talk about 80 degree weather and sunny skies.  When I look out my window I see 2 feet of snow and gray skies.  I try very hard to invision blue skies and warm day and cannot wait to see my daffodils poke their cute little heads out of the ground.  Spring is only 30 days away and I cannot wait!
