We shelved the babies for nearly a week and they are all flourishing. Shelving was a lot of

Chestnut drama, oh my. Do you ever have such a buildup of excitement, anticipation & dread, so many emotions building up simultaneously as a deadline nears? That's me attempting to wrap my head around my upcoming ARBA Convention entry deadline.

Too often I go full blast, thinking to myself; just one more bunny to shear, one more task before it gets too late in the day. I challenge each of you to try this with me, take a break before you need it. In other words, to quit while you're ahead. Doing things lightly, in moderation, with a buffer, all the while being kinder to yourself. For me, it’s sitting and knitting for an hour somewhere peaceful. Currently my

It is a true blessing, I am extremely busy with my Chestnut Giant program. I am blessed with my mother’s trait of excessive worrying. Boy howdy, there are plenty of things to worry about. To help me to retain most of my sanity, the process of staying busy with something that utilizes both my brain cells and body muscles is a great benefit. The bunny barn maintenance & my fuzzy creative endeavors provide me with a ton of beneficial activities that help raise the indicator bar on that Feel Goo

Last couple years have been... a lot of things, but mostly it's been emotionally exhausting.

I'm choosing to pull up my big girl panties, pull up my chin up high, & stand in the (WWP)Wonder Woman Pose!

If you haven’t heard of the WWP, try it next time you are nearing a stressful or nerve wracking situation. Kinda like facing the new year with all its glory; new challenges, new successes, and of course the all unknowing future.

A few helpful hints deciphering the "F" Code. I have been dabbling in the color world in Giant Angoras. Due to the lack of abundant quality Colored Giant Angoras, I decided to attempt to make my own. This whole colored world is a huge learning opportunity for me. As white Giants are REW (Red Eyed White). You bred REW to REW and get REW. Pretty simple, well at least the color identification is simple. As a rabbit breeder with intent and a focused plan, nothing is ever simple.
