It was 32 degrees this morning, started up the fire in the wood stove,still crackling from last night, Had a hot cup of Chia and Chocolate, and began to russle-up some breakfast. This year is interesting as we are down to taking care of two rabbits and an odd pair of ducks. In the past our coop was full of activity. Filled with chickens, our mascot turkey, rabbits, goats, pot bellied pig, many times our managerie would include a rescued animal such as a squirrel, fawn or injured bird. I imagine that it was more like a petting zoo than a farm, for they never had to fear the ax. Currently, most have lived out their lives in peace and then were lovingly buried in our little ‘cemetary’. Our 2 rabbits were a rescue and have provided me with excellent fertailizer. We aquired each duck seperately and last month one decided to lay for us, so today’s breakfast will included those little gifts. Next we’ll be setting up the outdoors for winter. Hopefully all these signs I have been seeing will mean that this one will be a good one and our draught will be over.
