Yes I traded 6 eggs and tomato sauce for rice mix and herb mix, eggs for sun chokes, ect. We prepackaged everything and labeled it. There were 16 people trading. Very well organized.

Have some bunnies due next week, 2 litters of vlops, 1 polish and then 2 more in a month. 
can't wait for kits! Still undecided about Jin.... I just not sure if he's trustworthy, very hard to keep his attention.... i talked to a local trainer. She does do training type lessons for $40 each.... of course I have also found a haflinger available.... priced within reason.... tempted to go see her. Though not sure DH is willing. ![:\](/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/side.png "side :\")
very tempting to sell some bunnies so I can maybe pick out my own horse.... or should I just be grateful to have 1 good trail horse. 
it's been more than nice weather.... I am ok if winter is done, but I doubt it.

So... I talked to kids, talked to my Mom, talked to DH.... and decided we just need to return Jin and I am horse shopping!! Of course DH says the one I want to go see is too expensive... ($900)
I am keeping it under $1000... & big enough I can ride. But hopefully calm enough kids can learn basics on.... can't find something much cheaper that's broke. he wants to trail ride as a family... oh well. I have put more bunnies up for sale.....

Sorry things haven't worked out with Jin for ya, and hope things will work out for ya in getting one that is suitable for your purposes. It is always best to err on the side of caution when kids are involved. So, I wish ya well in your search.

No kits yet. 99.9% Twilight will have them, it's only day 30 for her and 99% sure Celestia and Elsa is not. 
All bunnies on the sales list are sold or a deposit received...
Have talked to lots if people about horses.... have been offered 5 free ones... none quite what I am looking for.... have 2 I hope to go see, neither free. Waiting on current photo of 1, and a video on the other. Trying to be patient.

Twilight had 8 kits last Friday. Here are the 6 that survived their first week.
Going to see a haflinger in 2 weeks. he was the one we were waiting on a video of.
not perfect but he appears to have the personality I am looking for....
May have to stop horse shopping though.... DH is having to get have some medical tests for his heart. Should be thankful for a single year of little medical needs... but it really sucks how much a broken leg can affect your health forever. 
praying we can get a barn up still. But medical expenses will add up fast. But he needs it. Just hope for answers.
Made a new fb page today to sell my eggs and baked goods. Hoping I can make a better effort to pay for feed.

I sure know how they can add up after my 2 attacks...hope the tests reveal a manageable situation for both of your sakes. But, it is much better knowing than guessing when it comes to the heart. When things are caught early it can usually be managed by diet and meds...hang in there it may not turn out to be too bad.
The kits sure are cute and good luck on the Haflinger.

Sold 3 dozen Mini cupcakes for Valentines Day! I also took some for our simple supper at church, gave some to neighbors and Jocelyn's bus driver as thank yous....
so thankful for a good start of my "cottage" business. it grows.
Anxious to see Richie next week.... owner keeps sending photos....
hopeful, but not set on it working out. His Coggins got pulled this week, hooves getting trimmed today and with the mild temps she is going to harness him up this weekend. So yes with the 4 hr drive to get there we are going to take the trailer. 
still trying to figure a way to get a barn up.... of course DH needs/wants a cargo trailer for his pulling garden tractos, hopefully a big enough one it can double as a small garage for them.... so... barn may be on the backburner... ugh! Oh well. That's the way things go. Am grateful he's had on the heart monitor on... it appears to be "catching" events. He has an echocardiogram tomorrow. Am not as anxious as I first was, God is control. I will praise Him in our struggles.
