Rabbits and writing, homeschooling and homesteading, coffee and weirdness. Creating a life I want to live and enjoying the journey.

Are people interested in using Nostr for local trade? Locality could be determined through hashtags.

Thoughts?

At the pond.

The husband fished, I explored the woods with the kiddos and the dog.

Enjoying the mild weather before the hot and humid days of summer get here.

Produce from a local farm. Strawberry season is coming to a close here, so we went berry picking while we could.

I don't want to work there

A little poetry to start the day, created by someone I follow on another social site.

It was a cool start to the morning in Southern Alabama but it's warming up fast. Looking to be a beautiful day.

Good morning #[1]! I don't know why but I love seeing your coffee posts. Rock on and have a great day.

Posting a picture of this abandoned kitten because I know someone needs this adorableness right now.

Also, a good lesson in building a strong community because within 12 hours we were able to find it a foster mama and a home.

Also this might post twice.

Last summer our border collie/ Aussie was bit by a Mojave Diamondback Rattlesnake just outside of Quartzsite, AZ. He was bit twice, one was a dry bite and the other was a wet bite, both were on his paws, one front paw and the other a back paw. I was able to get him to the vet (who was amazing) within a half hour from the time he was bitten, antivenom works best if administered within a half hour of the bite. They kept him overnight and released him to us the the next day, they only had to give him one dose of antivenom. But told us he definitely was not out of the woods as the next week or so would determine how his paws were going to heal and if he'd need to have his paw that received the wet bite amputated.

We took him home and I put together a mixture of herbs, lavender, cleavers, calendula, and a tiny bit of comfrey and mixed them with some Manuka honey and applied it to his bites to help draw out and heal his wounds.

I used several references to come up with this mixture of herbs including a book called The Complete Herbal Handbook for Dog and Cat by Juliette De Bairacli Levy. The book is incredible and has so much information about using herbs on pets. The book is old and not in print anymore and Miss Juliette has passed from old age many years ago but I keep her books on hand for these emergencies.

Oh and after two day we went back to the vet amd he was very happy with his healing and told us to keep doing what we were doing and that he was healing so well that he had no concerns about amputation.

I'm definitely going to check these books out. Thanks for the info!

I think it does too but every Asian garment looks like a kimono to me because I'm pretty ignorant when it somes to Asian culture.

I do think this is Chinese though, and kimonos are Japanese if I'm right? Again, I don't really know.

A little hello from Mother Earth on Beltane Eve. We found it on our afternoon walk yesterday.

GM #nostr family! Is there anyone out there who might be able to help me identify what this garment is? My mom got it at a yard sale for $1. It's beautiful and well made with a lot of intricate stitching on the cuffs and collar.

Thanks for helping me resolve this mystery!

Good to know. I've got a 4 year old and almost 2 year old, so they probably would NOT make it through the tour. But the general store and food sound like an adventure, so we'll check it out.

I like this little dude. He's got a good personality. He likes to snuggle. He greets me every morning when I feed the rabbits. And he's got these cool violet eyes.

And in a few weeks I'll take his life to sustain mine. Or my dog's.

Until you are raising your own animals, until you are looking in their eyes every day, until you take their lives to sustain yours...there's a level of appreciation there that might be unmatched.
