🐰 Broken Silver Fox buns are HERE!

For those unfamiliar with Silver Fox rabbits, there are currently only two recognized colors: black and chocolate and blue has been making incredible progress toward recognition! Blue is the dilute of black, while lilac is the dilute of chocolate. And then there are torts… a bit of an anomaly, and hands down my FAVORITE! 😍

When we moved last year, I had to significantly downsize. Unfortunately, that meant letting my tort carriers go, and I’ve regretted that decision ever since!

I’ve been following Hinkle Homestead for years, and Lianna has done remarkable work developing project colors. Unfortunately, the timing never worked out for a trip to Illinois, so I continued admiring her rabbits from afar here in Iowa.

Enter Lianna’s dad. ❤️

He was traveling from Colorado to Illinois and, let me tell you, he’s the kind of dad any girl would dream of having! He graciously stopped in Des Moines to pick up a couple of my does to take to Hinkle Homestead. Then, on his way back, he made another stop to bring me some very special additions!

🐰 Cookie, a broken black doe carrying tort, whom Lianna bred for me before her trip!

🐰 A broken chocolate buck, another exciting addition!

Cookie’s gems joined us a couple of weeks ago, and I couldn’t be more excited about what’s ahead!

It’s truly an honor to have a couple of rabbits produced here join Hinkle Homestead’s program. And now, after years of admiring Lianna’s work, I get to welcome some of those beautiful genetics into my own rabbitry.

And would you just LOOK at these broken torts and tort kits?! 😍🐰

Sometimes things have a funny way of coming full circle. ❤️

This kid was out hunting with dad and decided to stop by and give me a little dance! 😍

When you have a Military Ball at 1800… but the cow still has to be milked. 😂🐄💁‍♀️

Laney was looking at me like, “What the hell is going on here?”

And for all that effort? A little time on the dance floor later and those curls were nowhere to be found. 💃🏻🤦‍♀️

Farm life doesn’t care what’s on the calendar. ❤️🐄

I have a love/hate relationship with butter. The trick is letting the cream age for 24-48 hrs before making butter!

These beauties came from Salinas and were really just planted for fun so the girls could use them for their birthday party… but apparently they’re super sweet too. 👀

The Black Midnight pumpkins are growing beautifully! 🖤🎃

I really only planted these for fun so the girls could use them for their birthday party, but apparently they’re also supposed to be super sweet!

Looks like they may be doing double duty this year, birthday decorations first, then I might have to convince Jake Garrison to turn one into a pumpkin pie. 😂🥧

Tried to punch out some holes in the kitchen sink today…

When the countertop guy AND Google tell you they just “punch out,” don’t believe them. 🤣

They do, in fact, punch out… just maybe not in the nice, clean, controlled way I had envisioned. 😂

Another lesson learned during the kitchen remodel!

We (and by we, I mean JT and Ryan 🤣) made HUGE steps toward a finished kitchen this week! 🙌🏼

It still feels like “we” have a ton left to do, but we are so close to having a fully finished and usable kitchen!

These two guys have somehow managed to take all the random visions in my head and actually make them happen. ❤️ And I think the black countertops might even be growing on Ryan, our contractor (and friend) who has patiently gone along with all of my ideas. 😂

Also, ladies… Ryan is single. Applications can be submitted directly to me. I’ll be handling the initial screening process. 🤣🤣

Seriously though, I couldn’t be happier with how this kitchen is coming together. It’s finally starting to look like the kitchen I pictured from the beginning. ❤️🏡

I planted TWO Martin House Gourd plants (aka Bottle Gourds) this year on my 12-foot hoop.

Two. Plants. 😂

Apparently, they took that as a personal challenge.

They have completely taken over the entire hoop, escaped into the pasture, climbed into the tomatoes, and somehow even made their way over to the blueberries. At this point, I’m pretty sure they own this section of the garden. 🤦‍♀️😂

But look at these gourds!! 😍 I’m excited to see how many we end up with once everything dies back this fall.

I sure hope my 4-H kids enjoy making birdhouses out of these, because we are going to have PLENTY to work with! 😂

Lesson learned: next year, the Martin House Gourds get their OWN hoop… far, far away from everything else. 🌱😂
