When taken care of properly, a flower can bloom even in the dimist of lights. When only given care as a duty, a stalk will grow but, the flower never blooms. When neglected the stalks may form but eventually the whole plant dies leaving a sad wilted form of itself.... much like any human, animal or plant in general. How you take care and provide for something is a reflection of yourself... a tomato plant may grow on very little care, but the fruit it produces will not be what it once could have been when you started neglecting it... your actions are what causes this... not the plants... not the flowers, not the animals or the humans...yours. so before blaming the plant, the sun, the water, the flower, animal or human.... look back on your past actions to see what caused it. When cared for properly anything can grow and flourish. ❤️🌱🌿🍇

CALLING ALL RABBIT LOVERS!!!!!

We need help. As yall know we expanded our rabbitry to accommodate our growing herd. It is now a large 45hole barn with room for 5 more pens... with that said.... i didnt insulate the roof 😭😭😭😭 its a large 13x26 carport with a large awning on the front for extra shade. Most of our materials I gathered myself over time (pallets, wire, shadecloths, pen materials ect...) and with the help of my amazing husband building the carport frame and roof i was able to finish it off with the add-ons, adding pens, shading it ect.. so here's where we need help. I need to insulate the roof! This is one reason ive been asking everyone to vote for us on "The greatest couple" we just dont have the funds to get the supplies we need to insulate the roof... if anyone has any R board insulation sheets laying around (free or cheap) that you dont need, We could seriously use it!!! If you dont but would like to donate to the rabbitry fund I have cashapp, just pm me for that info. Its going to roughly cost us about $300 to fully insulate it due to our small town oklahoma heat! That is 17 sheets of R-board 1" thick atleast, Tape to fill in the cracks, screws and a few 2x2s to hold it all up. Unless you know or are someone who would spray foam the entire thing at a huge discount... (we priced that too 😔😭, its just too hot and I have put them in the best shady spot with the best breeze I could. This Rabbitry is my passion, my hobby and food for our family as well. It has brought us sooo much joy knowing each and everyone is cared for and loved.
If you cannot help, I completely understand, as I too am in a bind. Bless those who can, and bless those who cant because we are all going through something no matter what it is. God will provide. Picture of our boy Squirtle the Tort Rex such a sweet handsome boy!
