The Photo E-Book is DONE!!!!

It’s finally done!

All the writing, and photography, graphics, proofreading, editing and more.

All done and ready for folks to take a gander at and enjoy!

A small donation to our fencing fund will get you this lovely 104 page e-book with tales of our various critters and most importantly, a portfolio collection of photography over the last year by my dear daughter, Jessica! (Okay, a few by good old Mom, too!)

All proceeds will help us to finish the last 600 feet of fencing that we need to make the entire property usable and safe for our beloved little friends.

CLICK HERE to visit the e-book information and order page.

We so appreciate everyone that might be able to help out a wee bit, and even if you can’t, that’s perfectly fine… in fact, we just ask that you send some good thoughts out way to help the positive feeling of our little Fence-A-Palooza event going forward!

It’s such an amazing blessing how already, even before the book was finished, people have been catching the wind of need and such wonderful things have been happening! We’ve already gotten 300 feet done, through great deals, free fencing and just weird occurrences! (Like finding a roll of fence way in the back buried under years of weeds!!!) Each little step gets us towards a goal that gives the little Windhaven flock the maximum of rotational grazing as well as safe harbor from the outside world.

If you’ve enjoyed this blog and all of our adventures (and misadventures!) and would like to be a part of the final fencing countdown… then your donation to the cause will be super wonderful! And you will have our heartfelt thanks and gratitude as well as a super nice full color photo e-book! We might even get a few of the best shots available as screen saver downloads if you’d like, with our thanks!

A 330 foot roll of field fence costs $160. Posts needed, about $100. And two gates, $90. We’re hoping to work towards getting this all done before the snow flies! I’m sure we’ll make it. We’re using all our windfall earnings as well, just with our own company sales, photo shoots, crafts, eggs and such. And I’m sure that good things will keep happening, little special blessings along the way!

And most certainly… all the hoofies here at Windhaven would shake a leg with a whinny of heartfelt thanks when they hit those luscious pastures of green, just waiting for them!!!

Most sincerely….. Sherri, Jessy and Maggie!!!

Meet Momo and Tora…

I am happy to report that Jessy has not given up her dream to have her rabbitry.

She has purchased two sweet little pedigreed French Angora does… a pair of sisters.  Just eight weeks old, and sweet and can be.  It will be quite a while before they will be helping out with babies of their own, but in the meanwhile, she has her plans in the works.  She might be getting an older doe soon, also pedigreed.

Momo is the white one, with the calico splotches… and Tora is the dark blue one.  Beautiful bunnies for sure!  They are settling in and are doing just nicely for sure.

Sophie bunny welcomes the two new little sisters to the hutch.  Sophie is the baby from Grizelda that Jessy is keeping because of her beautiful black and grey coloring.   She is a French and English cross Angora.

I’m so glad that Jessy has decided to continue on, after the two does she had plans with passed away so suddenly.  It was very hard but just something that happens.  One was elderly and one was an unknown/accidental situation.  It’s why breeding animals for big profit is really not the thing…  it can take you years to establish your rabbitry and to get the right animals at the right ages and all.  Hardly something you do just for cash.  It’s something you love.  And Jessy’s bunnies are super nice, sweet and calm because she takes a lot of time with them.

And the babies are just so darn adorable!  And the fiber!  oh my… haha…  don’t get me going on the beautiful angora wool!

It’s a good thing…

Dirty Feet…

I caught these two snoozing out on the hammock.

Duke and Maggie were catching a little zzzzzz-s out in the warm sunshine, after doing chores barefooted.  Apparently.  And then they heard the camera shutter and I was in trouble!  Haha….

I love that we get dirty.

Getting dirty means you’re working and you’re enjoying what you’re doing and don’t give a hoot if you get totally farm filthy!

I tell you, our clothes have taken a licking and are showing true wear and tear for the first time in our lives!  Why I have a pair of work jeans that I think even after you wash them, they could stand up by themselves in the corner!  There is good hard-earned work dirt in every weave of that denim.  And paint and stains from this project and that.  Sheep slobber, pony poop, chicken feathers…  it’s all there.

And proud of it!

When you live in the city and have a nice little city life, you just don’t know what DIRTY is until you spend a month or two doing livestock chores and rehabbing an old farm.  Then you will learn what dirty means.  There’s been a few times that I took a shower after a hard day of work, got out and thought, shoot, I’m not totally clean yet, after looking at my filthy feet after a good stiff scrub!  And it’s back in the shower.

So I think it’s delightful to see my kids with dirty filthy feet after a hard day’s playing and work.  It’s a badge of contentment, I figure.

I think we need more hammocks at Windhaven.  At least another couple for sure.
