meet the very first additions to our farm

We welcomed three precious rabbits to the farm this week. They are all girls (does, in the farming world) but three different breeds (all known for their meat) in three different colors. They don't have names yet, but they certainly need them since they will probably be around for the next 5 years. They are all still young, so we will wait a few months before we get a boy (a buck.) I have enjoyed the past several days, waking up early and going out late after work to check on them. 

It's a pretty good feeling to have something depending on you.

pretty brown lady, she is a Dutch cross

white with grey ears, tail, and nose- she is a New Zealand / Tennessee Redback cross

this fancy girl is a pure Dutch- she is certainly the prettiest

Apologies for the red eyes and low quality photographs,
but I am finding that life is too short for editing.

Until next time, live simply,

Angela and Jonathan
