Black and white…or white and black.

Where are they?

OH, there…

Now what?

I’ve seen hunting dogs do this…pick up their leg and point!

Hmmm…that didn’t work.

Poof! He’s gone~!

OK, I’ll move on to something a little larger.

At our place, rabbits roam free.

That’s the way we like it.

And so do the rabbits.

Black or white.

Doesn’t matter.

We currently have 14+ mature rabbits.

Most are does.

Hmmm…I’ve never excelled at math, however…

We may have a population explosion on our hands.

One can only hope.

Until tomorrow ~ God willing,

Amish Adventure Awaits

Filed under: farm — Tags: , , — Administrator @ 3:55 am

The day has arrived. I’m heading down to get our lambs.

And a pair for AC Ellen.

I will be coming home with five in the early evening. Three for us.

Three that will require names. My favorite part ~ naming new babies.

I have loved dealing with the Amish over the years.

No cell phones.

No computers.

Just pen to paper.

I did get a call one year from an Amish family ~ the Hershbergers. They asked their driver to contact me and invite me to a barn raising. Unfortunately, I couldn’t get away from my all-important place of employment, where I still work today.

That is a mistake I will not make again, should the opportunity present itself.

Miss Sultry Summer has arrived at Russ-Stick Acres.

Hot days, and cooler nights.

Thank the Lord for the cooler nights.

Already my mind is focused on cool October training days…

But that will have to wait its turn.

Pigs are growin’, lambs are on the way, and Rustic Russ and I saw 3 new little bunnies in the barn today.

Black with white dots on the top of their heads.

Tiny little ones that would fit in the palm of your hand.

That, makes our hearts sing. We love our free-ranging rabbits.

Stay tuned for lots of Amish pics as I head down to the land of Blueberry Jam and homemade bread.

Until tomorrow ~ Amish bound and lovin’ it ~ God willing,

We have a new family ~ the farmin’ folks at GRIT

Filed under: farm — Tags: , , , — Administrator @ 3:48 am

It’s been quite a week.

Excitement over our new calf.

Cooking down sap, into syrup.

Magnificent maple syrup.

And a new bunny.

Compliments of AC Ellen.

Cadbury, who is now heading to LuLu’s for a permanent home.

Not to fret.

We still have our “free ranging” American Silver Fox rabbits ~ outside and cage free.

But wait, there’s more.

Our little ‘ole Blog, RUSS-STICK RAMBLINGS, is now featured on the glossy GRIT magazine’s website. CLICK HERE.

For those of you who haven’t heard of the magazine, check it out. Click here.

GRIT has been celebrating rural America since 1882.

However, this ain’t your Grandpa’s GRIT

You’ve come a long way baby.

We are proud, and honored, to be a member of the GRIT family.

We hope you follow along too, and check out the other GRIT blogs and bloggers.

Until tomorrow ~ God willing,

TGIF (Today God is FIRST)
