Christmas Bun Buns

You might remember that our dear Miss Loppy, once thought to be a boy bunny.......had a batch of SEVEN bunnies this fall. The only thing better than THREE baby bunnies.....is SEVEN baby bunnies. Oh the joy of raising these little honeys. ♥

Like the last set, they grew oh so very fast, and it was a delight to see them go from tiny little fragile beings to these fluffy little puff balls.

Recently, we took them to our local grange to be sold. I just didn't have the time to try to sell them myself, so I hoped they could do as good of a job as they did the last time, and they sure did.

Within 4 days, all of them had gone to wonderful homes. All to regular customers. What a blessing. So good to know that they will be cherished and well cared for.

It isn't hard to see why they were snapped up so quickly, huh? Who wouldn't want one of these little darlings under the tree?

Unlike that last time, we did not have more baby bunnies waiting at home for Sugar to love on, so it was a bit harder for her to give them up. Especially her favorite one. sigh.....oh the lessons she is learning.

She held on tight, and asked me more than once if we could please just keep her, but I had to hold firm. We already have 5 bunnies, and do not need more. It wasn't easy on either of us, but I like to believe that in some sort of way it was GOOD for us.

There was one thing that made it just a tiny bit easier though. My friend ended up grabbing this one up, and took her home. She is well loved, and we can come visit if we want to. It has been over a week, and Sugar hasn't asked about her, so I think she has settled into the idea of her having a new and loving home. It really helped knowing that other little children will now have a bunny to love.

Oh.....and of course I promised that we'd have more baby bunnies this spring. That is something we all can look forward to. In the mean time.....we like to think that many folks are enjoying their fuzzy little Christmas bun buns! ♥

Sending Christmas Wishes

Every year, I look so very forward to creating our Christmas card. Some years, a great deal of thought goes into the entire process. Other years, I find myself just throwing it all together.

This year, I had something all together different planned, but when we got a touch of snow a few days before Christmas I knew it was too good of a chance to pass up. I had to forgo the fabulous Christmas dress I had just finished making, and threw a quick outfit that was a bit warmer on Sugar Bear, and we went out to play in the snow.

It is also important to note that I can NEVER decide which card I like best, so I usually end up ordering at least three different ones. THESE are the final choices this year.

This year, I'm participating in the 3rd annual Bloggy Holiday Card Exchange. What a wonderful thing. Head on over by clicking the button above to see everyone's Holiday creations!

Merry Christmas, my friends! ♥

A bit of Snow

I mentioned a few weeks back that our area got a bit of snow, and I took full advantage of the two days it was here. One never knows if snow will emerge again in the same winter season, so you have to make sure and enjoy it while it lasts.



Luckily, I ALWAYS have my camera with me, so I was able to take a break from my work, and head outside for some fun. The time I had was brief, but I think I spent it well.




There is just something so fascinating about snow. I don't live where it snows often, so I find myself thoroughly enthralled with it when it's here. If I had to deal with it day in and day out, I'm sure I'd feel differently.



Whenever I have the privilege of watching snow fall, I get this incredible sensation that somehow time is slowing down......almost as if the earth is literally ceasing to spin. Everything seems to be in slow motion. I adore this feeling. I could just stand there and watch the flakes gently float to the ground all day.


While watching the snow make their way to the ground is a favorite pastime, photographing it as it accumulates on anything BUT the ground is a passion. What fun I had walking around looking for little piles of snow on the fence, trees, and bushes.



Snapping away....finding new angles to look at it.......letting the light shine in.


What a moment to treasure. For a minute, I wasn't at work......I wasn't responsible for anything....I wasn't hurrying to the next thing. I was just THERE......and just ME.



I was just so very blessed. What an amazing world in which we live. I love that I can have those moments, and capture them so that I might never forget......



Just how lucky I am! LIFE IS GOOD!
