This month was about a lot of things coming together... so much to be thankful for right now: all the support in achieving Eagle Scout, Great Grandma’s 100th birthday, new tools for the farm. What an amazing month. A fun final bonus track: Ever hear 30 rabbits drinking? One of my favorite sounds while we're doing some cleaning and setting out the grass and hay bales.

Ever feel like you're fighting the current? Destination unknown? Two years ago I had just bought a house boat and was working on plans to bring it 100 miles upstream. I didn’t yet know where I was going to land because we hadn't purchased the island yet. Lots of similarities to today’s uncertainty as all of our contracts for Easter and school programs and libraries are cancelled. Somehow it worked out even better than I'd ever imagined and I trust that this time of social distancing will push us to try new outreach methods. More time for farm chores and homework. More time to fine-tune the business plan. More time, period. Thankful for your support as we plan to head 'upstream'

Sounds of birds chirping at Peacebunny Cottage with the bunnies hopping in the nearby pasture. Girls giggling while learning about bunnies at a birthday party. All things that are part of my "happy places."
An aboriginal saying in Australia has been made into the school song for Hope Vale School. "Nganhthaan Waandaar Nganhthan Ngurraar" means one is a white Cuckatoo and one is a black Cuckatoo—different but together. In a world with so much division, my simple podcast will just be about birds, bunnies, gentle rain and giggles. Moments we share that transcend all that can divide us. Enjoy.

From Madame Blanchard’s Rabbitry in France in 1912 to the Peacebunny Cottage... We are the new home for four 9-12 pound rabbits with striking black eyeliner and satin sheen white fur. We are so grateful to partner with experienced breeders of champions to keep these purebred beauties from extinction. Tator Tot is a dwarf Hotot ( not endangered plus with stray splotches called a sport) but a distant relative who is one of our most popular bunny pals. Please visit YouTube channel this week and subscribe. Have a hoppy day!!

Springtime means several weekday scout events, lush grass at the Cottage and stress relief stations at universities. Super pumped about the new-for-us canoe trailer after months of watching online sales— game changer!

All the bunnies have been safe at Peacebunny Cottage. We knew that the island would have seasonal floods and we experienced high water last year... So no surprise. With no permanent structures we have no risks. Prayers for those who have so much to lose...
