Ah! I'll have to update my blog roll. I've been a blogger slacker lately.
ReplyDeleteI love this new lay out - I just don't know how to make blogger behave to get pictures in the header and now on the sides.
Love to hear how the farm has taken off. It seems like you all were just settling in and then I look and you guys are really going for it. I'm starting to get envious.
What kind of bunnies do you have?
The bunnies are New Zealand Whites. Big ones, but not as big as yours!
ReplyDeleteI like your new blog! Very, um, agrarian...I haven't been around in a while either, so thank for commenting on my blog. You married a musician too?
