Tomatoes, uh, find a way.

Miss Heather is a very sweet girl. Taking after both of her parents with her temperament.

I am so grateful to finally be able to get back out with my rabbits. Its been two months of sickness and recovery after my appendix ruptured, I didnt notice, finally DID notice, sought help and was sent home twice before finally getting surgery on my gangrenous organ 11 days after first diagnoses. 😅 battling sepsis for 3 weeks was not fun, and unfortunately my rabbitry showed that. My husband did the best he could, especially since he had to take over ALL of my usual jobs (Stay at home mom of two under 4...) but one of my goals for this week now that I've been cleared? Deep. Cleaning. Cages.

Yall, between my 2 weeks of off and on hospital time, surgery, and recovery, my poor peppers and tomatoes are barely making it here lol. My husband is a patient man, because this is the kitchen table for the last couple of days, and probably the next few as well until this cold snap passes.

Our engagement has dropped off a cliff and I refuse to accept that quietly, so we’re doing the only logical thing… turning this post into a free for all community thread.

Ask questions about rabbits, ducks, homesteading, motherhood, or farm life.
Show me what you had for breakfast.
Rant about your day.
Post pictures of your animals.
Confess your worst farm impulse purchase.
Tell me the animal you swore was a girl… and then it crowed.
Tell me your favorite cereal and why it’s objectively the best one.
Argue about the correct way to cook bacon.
I genuinely do not care. Comment anything. Literally anything.

If you’ve ever wanted to introduce yourself but felt awkward doing it, this is your moment. If you’ve been following quietly from the sidelines, come say hi. If you just enjoy the chaos, pull up a chair. Like the post, drop a comment, share it if you feel like helping a small farm page fight the algorithm gods. Let’s wake this page back up!

I am home. Long uphill battle before my surgery in 6-8 weeks, but I lived! I even got to enjoy the first rainstorm on our new back deck. My husband handled the kids and the farm like a pro, and I appreciate him so much for stepping in and caring for everyone. And shoutout to my sister who gave up her week to come with me to the hospital and bravely refrained from fighting a doctor.

My appendix ruptured thursday night and I popped a tums and went back to sleep. I was able to function kind of OK until Sunday night, when I remembered appendicitis is a thing and went into the ER. I have a lot of infection and such that encapsulated the betrayer organ, so I get to be on hard-core antibiotics for a few days/weeks until we can try for a slightly less risky surgery in 6-8 weeks. Could absolutely use some prayers for wellness and maybe some wisdom...
Probably a lot of wisdom.

Needed a high place to put my grow out plants. A girls best friend is actually pallets, saw horses, and strategically placed t-posts. (And toddler nap time.)
