Now on to the happy news! Our family got a bunny last night. It was inevitable. For 2 years Sis has begged and begged. She has whined each year when we go to the county fair and she see's all the cuties. But she, and we, were not ready for a bunny! But i think, dear ones, now it was time.
We happened to be in our local feed store buying doggie toys, and checking out electrical fence wire. They had 1 left. There were 10 last week, and last night only ONE. He was adorable. My heart ached for him but i didn't let on. The feed store is one of daddy's clients, so he happened to be there as well. So we begged - and hubby was so good to say yes. (I think he was more surprised that i was ready to say yes)
The first question i got (from multiple sisters) is whether this was the Katie (our missing cat) replacement. The answer is NO. We still hope - and pray daily that she will find her way back to us. It's merely us settling in our new place. We want it to be homey, with lots of love, lots of animals, and our little piece of farm life if you will. Animals require more care, more time. That's what we want too.
Slower pace, more family time - and to enjoy the piece and quiet and BE STILL. Do you know what i mean? I crave that opportunity. If having more animals (bring on the horses!) means i spend more time at home - then bring it on. The peace i have looking out my window..the peace the Lord has placed in my heart is overwhelming. Amidst all the to do's of getting this house completed i have PEACE. And life is good.
And "Patches" is awesome! He's the newest member - an opportunity to help us all slow down and appreciate him. He soft, he's cute, he's cuddly. He's FAMILY.
(I left the camera at my office so all i have is this bad cell phone pic, sorry!)
