Did not drop off face of the earth...well, at least am back

I can't believe that so many months have gone by. Some have been wonderful and some....well, you know, life. I have backed off a bit with the rabbits. Had a few losses that were hard to take. And realized that I wanted to concentrate on my french angoras. Did one breeding this year. Plan on a few more. Think if I concentrate on getting my lines established it will be better than doing too much. Will not be attending many shows this year. I love going but think it better if I wait until I have more stock. Bred Jett and Obsidian and had 9 babies. I was surprised at so many. We lost a runt and I think we may lose another runt too. I just will not do supplemental feeding. I figure if they cannot make it then perhaps, it is for the best.

Here are some pics:
Momma

The black ones

The tort

The white ones. Except I think one of them is maybe cream

All the babies


The kids seem to be doing well. Rosie is busy with "Words of Fire" and David should graduate this year. Hurray!!!. He will be going to prom next week. Anna is growing up and I don't want her to. But I haven't figured out how to keep her little. Julius is married and living in Illinois. He is maturing.

The ducks are wonderful. They have started laying again. The indian runners built a little next under the rabbit house and it took us awhile to find them. So Eggs R Us is back up and running. The local food coop is buying them from us and I can't wait for the farmer's market to start up again.
