Looking Back at Our Building Year. Top Story - February 2024.
Away, 2023--Onward, 2024! So, last year was a building year. More accurately, it was a REbuilding year. In 2023, Kathleen and I found ourselves bottlenecked with our dogs. I only had one goat left and he was a male, which is fine unless you have dairy goats for milk! Dan and I had become dissatisfied with buying our laying hens from other people, and so embarked on creating our own landrace. He and I also re-evaluated what we were doing, gardening-wise, now that he's recovering and feeling more like himself. And, finally, I decided to make another attempt at raising quail for meat and for eggs. Phew! We were busy, even though we didn't seem to be doing much!

It’s music to my Bunny’s ears
British spelling The secret life of the rabbits Playing classical music to pets — and animals in general — can reduce their stress levels and improve their welfare. It works with humans as well. However, the music we play to our dear pets, especially to pet rabbits, must be carefully selected. Rabbits have an extremely good hearing.

The Guppy Girl
She has presence: a quiet solitude, standing amid tanks of betas, goldfish, mollies, guppies, her unremarkable brown hair straight, uncomplicated. “My name is Elizabeth.” She focuses full attention on my wrinkled face. She looks official, yet young.
