More pictures and crazy ideas ...

Here are some pictures of the kittens, Baptiste, Paul and Tom.
They arrived on June 24th.

When the pictures were taken, Tom wasn't in love with me like he is now so I wasn't able to take him so we could make a close up. Now Tom L.O.V.E.S me ... but really. He climbs on the door the see me working in the kitchen. Even husband is not that obsessed!

I got a strange idea that is not so strange after all ... Cayenne has fur, tons of it, it's look wooly. I think I will spin it and try to knit with it.

I'll keep you posted.

Since the cat vid was a hit ...

...here is part two.

I just have 10 minutes ...

But I want to take those 10 minutes to tell how much happiness I feel right now.
I was talking to a friend this morning, and I wanted to tell her how happy I was, I realized that I couldn't find words.
Being here is all I've ever wanted. All that work is hard, but I don't see it as work. I see it as life.

Yesterday night, Husband and I spent the night studying several books. We study a lot. I realized too that writing here was like a way of processing the info.

I think I will soon write lil articles about my discoveries. I know that for some it would be probably common sense and things they know for so long but to me it's all brand new.

I also want to thank 1stman. Your comments mean a lot to me. When someone comments, it tells me someone reads, it's like my message in a bottle, is read. Thanks for commenting.

I am probably the only person in the world ...

... who walks her cat down.


The Infinite Subject

Tonight, I was having dinner at my parent's home with my parents, 2 of my uncles, 2 of my aunts and my best friend. I suddenly realized during the dinner how infinite the subject of what we are living is. We talked about it for all the evening and it never got boring. There is something exquisite and infinitely poetic in what we are doing. some people were intelligent enough to see it.

I have a passion burning inside me when talking about my farm.
I am born again.

To Rabbit or Not To Rabbit ...

That is the question.

If you've seen the last pictures I've posted, you probably came across the picture of Oreo. We also adopted Coton, a champion Rex Rabbit, his "wife" Neige and some X-breeded brown rabbit that we named Carla Bruni (tee hee hee).

We also got some information about meat rabbit breeding.

It's a low starting cost production that is opened to most people. Thing is. I am not sure. I am a softie. It's hard for me to deal with death. On that part, I am not even sure my husband would be able to let them go.

We could also be pet rabbit producer. Then again, even if it's "heartbreak proof" the competition is huge in that area here and I don't know if I will be capable of.

So ... we have to think this over.
