This is what the ranch looks like at the onset of winter. Everything is dead or in hibernation.  An old tractor and the dogs are there in the distance, as well as the pump house which houses one or our wells that feeds our land with water.

The views out here are amazing, the clear blue skies and you would not even believe the amount of stars you can see at night. In winter the specs on white on the mountains surrounding the valley really remind you its winter but also just make you stop and take a breath and enjoy the cold fresh air.

Right now the alfalfa is in hibernation underground.  The freezing temps to freeze the ground but not deep enough to kill the seeds that will sprout in the early summer.

Well thanks for stopping by the blog and we hope to see you soon!

Our Pets

This is Snoopy one of our dogs.

To all you pet lovers out there! Pets are such a part of our lives and well being.  They make you happy when you are sad and are always there for you when you need them. They don't say much but you just know they are on your side.  Now matter what pet you have, a cat, a rabbit, a dog, a chinchilla, they are your family.  We have 3 dogs all black and white border collies and now we have to rabbits to add to the mix. Whay a joy it is to have animals that love you always no matter what you look like, no matter your job, now matter your home.  This is just a little love blog going out to all the animals that make us humans happy!

ARBA Convention

We are at the ARBA convention right now, it is a big rabbit get together.  We are there giving out samples of our hay and learning a lot about all the different breeds of rabbits, meeting lots of great people, and having fun. We have gotten a really great response to our Timothy hay which has always been the case but the oats are gaining interest as well.  Rabbits really love the small seeds found in the oat hay. We used to have rabbits, but they have all passed and now we are considering getting another one since all of the people here seem to be enjoying their rabbits as pets like we do our dogs.  Lots to see and do, thanks for supporting us!
