What I've Been Up To

 Things have been kinda crazy over here, lately! Here are some of the things that have been happening!


Chester, my favorite rabbit, decided to stop eating. After being inside for two weeks and gaining his appetite back, I moved him outside again, where he promptly went right back off his feed. I moved him back into my room, where he has remained for the couple weeks. He's absolutely thrilled about it, and takes delight in having my full attention. 

I was having extreme trouble finding a decent book to read. I finally found one a day or two ago. It was a decent length, and with all my schoolwork, it took me a bit to finish it. After being in agony over finding out what happened in the end, I finally finished it. So, now I'm sad again because I don't have a book to read. It's a vicious cycle.

I've been playing piano a lot lately. No surprise there. I've currently been memorizing Moonlight Sonata by Beethoven. I absolutely adore the grand octaves in it. I think I drive my poor family crazy with my loud and emotional playing. I've also been playing God of Wonders by Third Day, which again has a lot of grand octaves in it.

Writing has also been one of my favored activities as of late. I always enjoy writing rabbit stories, and attempting to capture my rabbits' quirky and complex personalities. I have very recently started another project, that I hope my writing skills will be worthy of. Since Sebastian is such a central character in most of my stories, I thought it would be fun to write his biography. It has proved to be difficult, but also quite enjoyable so far. 

And then, of course, there's just the random, everyday things I do. Chasing my sisters around with dish towels, singing at the top of my lungs when I'm outside feeding the rabbits, running and exploring around the local state park for hours with our friends, riding the RipStik around the kitchen, dashing madly after our renegade bantam chicken while mimicking the mysterious voice from Frozen II, and of course, school. 

So, yes, life has been crazy lately, but also really fun!

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
