Rainbow Scones and Rabbits

One of my favorite things to do is write rabbit stories. My latest one is titled "Rainbow Scones," and I have decided to share it. It focuses on two of my favorite rabbits, Aravis and Silly.


It was a quiet morning for Aravis, who was sipping her cup of tea out on her porch. Or at least it was quiet, until…

“Good MORNING!!!!!!!!” Silly bounded up the steps, a basket over one arm, “Isn’t it gorgeous out today?!?”

“Mmm-hmm. Just lovely.” Aravis wanted to groan.

“And guess WHAT!?” Silly was bouncing around on her toes.

Aravis gravely sipped her tea. “What?”

“I brought SCONES!!!! With SPRINKLES on them!”

“Dear God, please give me patience.” Aravis prayed silently to herself, before turning to Silly. “Oh really? I just adore scones!”

“I KNOW! That’s why I brought them!”

“Would you like some tea with your scones?”

“Hmmmm. Sure!” Silly placed a huge plate of rainbow-speckled scones on Aravis’ picnic table. A minute later, Aravis came out with a cup of herbal tea for her.

“Now hurry up and eat one!!!!!!!!” Silly was wiggling around on her seat.

Aravis took a delicate bite. “They are…um…extremely… cheerful!” She was pretty sure there was more rainbow sprinkles than scone in that bite.

“I’m sooooooooo glad you like them!!!!!!!!” Silly squealed. “I should take some to Izzy tomorrow!”

“I’m sure she’ll just adore them.”

“OR,” Silly gasped, “We could have a PARTY!!!”

“Mmmm. A party.” Aravis choked down the last of her scone.

“And we could have rainbow streamers, and a rainbow tablecloth, and lots and lots of rainbow scones! And we can do it really soon!”

“Definitely.”

“How about TOMORROW!?!?!” Silly bounced around on Aravis’ porch, waving her half-eaten scone, and surrounded by a veil of falling sprinkles.

“Um, I kinda have plans tomorrow. But maybe you could give me your scones recipe, and I could make a big batch for Izzy’s tea party next week.”

“Okay!! I’ll run home and email it to you! And you can keep the rest of these scones!!” With that, Silly leapt off the porch and bounded toward her house, trailing sprinkles all the way.

Aravis sighed in relief as Silly disappeared around a bend. She had, once again, survived one of Silly’s tremendously creative, but epically awful culinary creations, that, when paired with her never-ending optimism, could be quite a “treat.”



Silly is the black and white rabbit. She really doesn't like pictures. Aravis is the black rabbit, who extremely enjoyed the whole picture-taking experience.

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
