Bunny Love

Take a peek at what Midsummers Day magic brought to Norwood Road.

Oh my goodness aren't they sweet. 5 -6 days old today, growing and making little noises and crawling about. Mama is really well and feeding and eating heaps ! She is a red-eyed white Lionhead bunny and daddy is a broken (that's brown spotted) Holland Lop bunny. The babies are :: two REW's (Red eyed whites), two brokens (browns) and two specked blacks ! So.... obviously the genotype in either mama or daddy has black bunny in them. What fun. :)

the hand spun

From the Imaginarium BLOG:


There was a time, when every piece of fabric was hand 

spun…That time will come again…


Every sail on every ship…Every garment…The tents that 

kept out the night, hand spun all.


The spindle in all its forms is one of the oldest tools. It 

will probably be with us at the end of all things.


When, every sail on every ship…Every garment…The 

tents that keep out the night, will be once again, hand 

spun all.

Happy birthday son. Break a , I mean ... no!!!

{Musings}

Hello, its almost February. 
It's almost 4 weeks now just the four of us.
Almost spring? 
Sigh.
Sometimes, things feel hard. Sometimes, they feel easier. I think it's sometimes based on the weather, my feelings, their moods. 
Sometimes everyone feels like crying or screaming all day . Sometimes the sun shines and the spirits are lifted and everyone feels happy and hopeful and creative. Sometimes, its a sit by the fire and spin or knit day; while the kids go about things in their own free will. 

Free will is a good topic to write about, and to think about. An unstructured hour, day, or moment in time is important. For all of us, both young and old. So many times, its just refreshing to "do what you want". Without someone guiding you or setting rules for this and that and saying for how long or in what way or whatever.
To make your own mistakes and go from there. To not know exactly everything, or anything at all. To simply breathe and try and enjoy being alive. 

It's almost February. I think spring is coming soon. 
Winter's nice too.
