New Beginnings


Greetings! Hiatus is over! After several months, I have moved over a thousand miles from my hometown and am settling in to my new home in beautiful, sunny Colorado.

And as I settle in to my new home, there are many new beginnings coming up around me. New job, new school, new garden to get started....

And then there's these little ones.

The babies! Oh my goodness.

The white chicken is a 10-week-old Bantam, and the two little reds are 2-week-old Rhode Island Reds. These little ones will be the main egg producers, and will end up larger than their white friend.

And behind them! See the ears? It's a baby bunny!

We weren't planning on getting this cutie, but we had to when we saw the chicks we had set aside snuggling with it. They love each other.

Yes, that is a video of the bunny licking the chick. Unbelievable. How do they make'm this cute?

So we are in the process of getting the plans together for building the chicken coop. I'll be putting up a post on that in the coming weeks. Other blogs you'll be sure to see: composting, potato apartment building, raised vegetable beds, building a pallet couch, and much much more! Whew! So many projects in the works.
