I haven't posted in quite some time. A lot has changed for me lately.
I can only explain by saying I have taken a step back. Things became too much, too overwhelming for myself alone to accomplish everything and take care of everyone to the standards that they should be cared for. While caring for the animals, my personal life only stacked up, and focusing on my personal stuff, the animal and preschool farm stuff fell behind.

And it's okay to realize that sometimes we need to take a step back to move forward.
All of my goats and rabbits went to 2 different farms with wonderful individuals, and I am a hundred percent sure they will have all the love and attention they deserve.

Meanwhile, I kept my chickens. I just can't go back to store bought eggs and chickens really are good at taking care of themselves.

Meanwhile, I am taking the time to focus on family, to watch you all thrive, as I am still learning from you all!

I am not finding myself, I'm building a life that allows me to embrace who I truly am and not who I or others thought I should be. That involves so much change that a step back and a clean slate was needed. AND THIS IS OKAY AT ANY STAGE OR AGE IN LIFE!

My first batch of Angora bunnies are really growing! Out of 13, momma managed to keep 7 alive. This one here was the tiniest and it's come a long way! It's really captured my heart.
The daycare kids really love them too!

Happy Birthday to Me!
3 days ago, my ND Umami had her first baby! His father is my Angora buck Corduroy, making him a nigora!
I'm thinking since mom is Umami, I should name him Savory🤭. Savory the herd sire! His coat is wavy like a poodle pup.

Why won't you play with me!?
Sage (dog) just wants her friend back. Although Mr. Wool (rabbit) is on the road to recovery, he is not completely healed. He still needs a little more time to work up his energy and Sage is very impatient. 🥰

I have been working hard between rain storms to build/create a more interactive outdoor play and learning environment for my farm-based preschool program kids. I'm loving the new spaces and have seen them play with more imagination/enthusiasm than before!

It was nice to finally get some sun this week, I was starting to feel the storm cloud's effects on my mental emotional well-being. But in the last 2 weeks I was able to get a few preschool playground projects done. I will post the completed projects this weekend. Stay safe, keep moving forward friends! ♥️ Marla

I rescued 3 new Angora rabbits last night. It was an unfortunate situation where the owners had lost their home and were living at an RV and could no longer appropriately take care of them and knew well enough that they needed to be rehomed.

And I know they had a lot going on but these things were in worse shape than I was expecting. You can't tell in the photos. But they're so overgrown and the bottom of them is like a solid matt armor full of urine and p**p. 🥺 And I have never seen a rabbit in person whose nails were so long.

But we will work one by one to get them cleaned up and taken care of! They are beautiful creatures and will be well loved.

TELL ME YOUR GO-TO BOOKS ON THIS SUBJECT......

When looking through my library of 200 + homesteading, gardening and cooking books, I realized I didn't have any on processing all your animals or specifically on preserving their meat. Almost all of them touch on dispatching and some canning however I'm going to need to know how to preserve the meat. I'm also going to need extensive detail on butchering and cutting up the meat.

I'm glad I have such a good loving dog. Although she is always sweet, she is still a puppy and loves to play so I'd never leave her alone with the smaller animals.

But aren't they cute together!💚🩵
