Overdue! The Therapeutic Post for Me
I'm overdue for a post, but what else is new? The rabbits have been continuously evaluated and some Silver Fox and American rabbits moved on to their new homes.

The Fastest Update I Ever Had

Silver Foxes and Americans Galore!
We have so many rabbit kits right now, I feel like I'm swimming in them.

You see, I love asparagus… Continue reading The Vegetable I Wish We Grew

I've currently left all pages except the blog here very blank to allow for a "cleaner" look at our… Continue reading New Site!
A Change is Brewing
So many things have happened in the last few days that I don't know where to begin. I will be spending the next week and maybe a little longer finessing some of the pages at the top of this site, and then updating what has changed. It's beautiful and intense.We're always up for it.
A Post on Evaluating Rabbits
While I continue to stall on telling you about the newest additions, I found this article about evaluating rabbits.

In case it's something you want to learn about too, check it out here: Hill Rise Rabbitry's Guide to Evaluating… Continue reading A Post on Evaluating Rabbits
