I'd LOVE to see Vermont, but am a homebody, tied to the farm, so I only imagine the trees my Costco maple syrup comes from! Bunny chores: water, feed, clean pans, play with baby bunnies, gather dandelion greens for treats, turn the fans on.... I leave the bunny-milking to the baby bunnies! Never a dull moment on the farm!Hilltophomesteaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11926731207526014550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3422560465284732696.post-15047808722835366342013-07-15T20:32:50.908-07:002013-07-15T20:32:50.908-07:00Everything looks so inviting!

How exciting!<br />I so enjoy visiting your blog and also reading RMW's comments. ;)N.

(Let it be duly noted here in Blogland that your "snack china" is Franciscan ware, the Apple pattern. Well done.) And of course your waffle batter would be "from scratch" and use real butter (did you churn it yourself?) and real maple syrup (from the annual trip to Vermont, perhaps, where you retrieved it straight from the tree?). And you top it all off by spending the day pouring concrete, along with the ever-present milking chores and bunny chores (I have no idea what "bunny chores" means. Food? Water? A mid-morning 10K hop-along race? Hosing out the warrens? Surely you don't milk the bunnies too.)<br /><br />I'm not mocking, really I'm not. I'm in awe.rhymeswithplaguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10870439618129001633noreply@blogger.com
