Fall Equinox - Mak'in Day

The fall equinox is when day and night are approximately equal, a Libra's happy place because we like balance. 
It's also the new moon, a good time to start things.
Today we canned and started our fodder schedule for the bunnies over the winter. 
We also rendered the fat collected from our goat. He was super fatty but super clean and healthy. I love that I can honor his life by using all parts.
Now that's some nice lard to make things like biscuits and soap.
We also made Garlic Oxymel to keep everyone ship shape for the up coming cold season.
... ready to harvest in two weeks on the full moon.
The yute left her water kefir in my care while out having fun with her girlfriends so... I "changed its pants"! I made sure to add some dried apricots for yum factor.
And I harvested the hazel nuts before the squirrels found them. Isn't it cute? Our first batch... more next year.

Crimson and Clover on levels 1 and 2...

Eddie on level 3. He exits to the left and the girls to the right.
Three's company! (Eddie is hiding behind the feeder).
We divided the yard so Eddie could have a buck run... now to get him to figure out how to go outside.
Stay tuned!!

Comming Soon...

There will be a blog post about Bunny Land soon. I just can't seem to get 'er done and be happy about the ending. So, as soon as I'm finished fussing over the details, I will post a progression of Bunny Land. In the mean time, enjoy a bunny picture.
