Jadis-Little White Witch Rabbit

 
Don't you just feel like this sometimes?
 
 
Meet Jade, an exuberant, bossy, adorable Californian. After surviving Coccidiosis (a disease most common in young rabbits) when she was eight weeks old, she lived in our basement for several weeks. She became quite the spoiled pet while living down there.
 
While Jade was residing in our basement, she acquired several quirky nicknames. Once, we started calling her "Jadis," forgetting that it was the name of the White Witch from Narnia. When I finally figured this out, I told my family, who immediately started calling the poor rabbit "Little White Witch."
 
Every morning when I feed Jade, she comes bounding up to the door, and then stops suddenly, waiting for me to pet her. If I reach in the pen to do it, she stretches out on the floor, closes her eyes, and soaks it up. If I stop petting her, she gives me a "seriously?" look, followed by an evil glare, which, if not responded to properly, is followed by a "nibble."
 
Jade also has a soft spot for granola bars. She adores the Oats and Honey flavor, and loves to join in on family snacks. First, Jade takes a bite, then my little sister takes a bite, and then Jade takes a bite again. This is how things work.
 
So, that's Jade for you. Sassy, vain, stubborn, spoiled, and lovable.

Even Rabbits Have Drama

 My Fine Arts writing moved on to Nationals! I went back and forth so much on my topic this year and didn't think that this one was my best work, but it surprised me by going on! I wrote this short story in January, so I'm very excited to finally be able to share it. I hope you enjoy "Even Rabbits Have Drama!" Saturday morning dawned, clear and cold. Serawyn hopped out her hutch door and stopped to twitch her velvety gray ears in anticipation of all that Jesus might have in store for her that day. All rabbits, being superior musicians, devote their Saturdays to a community practice session, and Serawyn was no different.   "Serawyn!" A khaki-colored doe tumbled down the hill. "Wait up!" "Oh my gosh, Lilith, you're so loud." A fluffy doe with silky, dark fur, Lyra sauntered down behind her. "Hi, Lilith! Hi, Lyra!" Serawyn grinned brightly. "Girl, your fur." Lyra pawed a few of the offensive strands. "You know si...

Baby Bunnies!!!!!!!!!

 They're here! These cuties arrived on March 26th. Here are some adorable pictures from the last couple weeks. These first two pictures were taken when the babies were about a week old. We call them "fuzzy hippopotamuses" at this stage. They just opened their eyes!!! Its a bunny pile! And finally, we have the most recent picture taken at three weeks old. They're starting to get fluffy! This is Serawyn, appropriately nicknamed "The Princess." She is very photogenic. Since she lives right next to the babies, you can only imagine her dismay when she realized that she was not the center of attention. After she tried for a solid ten minutes to fit her entire head through the wire, I rewarded her with a nose rub and a picture.  That's it! I hope you enjoyed a good dose of adorableness!  ~Just a Girl on the Homestead

Busy Life

It's been crazy lately! Between the rabbits and chickens doing exactly the opposite of anything I want them to, school just being school, and teaching piano, the writing has been put on hold for a little while. I have been enjoying the fresh air and lovely weather lately though! I found a few spots of green grass down by the creek and decided to take some pictures! The water was sparkling and looked very inviting. I had to remind myself that it was COLD. I hope you all are enjoying spring as much as I am! ~Just a Girl on the Homestead
