HoldingMrs. Coco Bun’s nose twitched nervously as she saw her little black puffball lifted out of the cozy nest she’d lined with her own fur.
Coco’s twin bunnies, both the color of midnight with not even the faintest hint of anything but black fur are but 12 days old.
Snuggled in Michaela’s hand, a soft baby bunny peeked open one little eye, ever so slightly, and it twinkled like a little diamond. Lynn 12 comments to Holding |
I am the mother of four delightful children: a 23-year-old son, a 20-year-old son, a 17-year-old son, and a bright and bubbly 13-year-old daughter. I share an apartment home with my 17-year-old son and 13-year-old daughter. My little home on the internet is called Rose Cottage because of my love for gardening, roses, and all things romantic and Victorian. Welcome. I'm a North Carolina girl and I love sharing North Carolina links and information. I do medical transcription from home. My hobbies include making sweet little dolls from clay who are named and have their own stories to tell. I also make old-fashioned brooches. These are for sale in my Etsy shop. For 13 years continuously, I homeschooled some or all of our four children, but the time came that our homeschool had to be closed. It was the end of a beautiful chapter in my life. I will always be a strong supporter of homeschooling and I will continue to review books and maintain my homeschool website, The Healthy Homeschool.    
To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly; to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart; to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions, hurry never. In a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common. This is to be my symphony.
I would

oh. my.
Is there anything in this world sweeter than tiny baby things? I just want to reach through my computer screen and give that wee bunny a snuggle♥
OH! that brings me back to the days when we had LOTS of rabbits when i was Michaela’s age–nothing sweeter than a fuzzy baby bunny, so warm and soft. what a blessed little girl(and little bunnies!). they all grow up fast. . . .
soooo cute!!
too cute!
Dear Lynn,
Too adorable! What little bundles of bunnies.
Love,
Marqueta
What sweet little babies! My son wants some little rabbits around here, though we haven’t been completely swayed yet. I think these little sweet things may work in his favor.
Awwww!
Diane, they are so fuzzy and cute!!
April, I hope that Michaela will have sweet memories of these years.
Tonya and Janet, aren’t they cute!!!
Marqueta, they are little fuzzy bundles indeed!
Missy, the thing about bunnies is that some really don’t like to be held that much. Children are so in love with them when they are little, but they do scratch when they get bigger. Well, they can. Ours our friendly and you can pet them. We love picking clover and lamb’s quarter and plaintain and feeding them, but they don’t care to be picked up very much. We still love them though.
Pam,
What a sweet little bundle of fur! Do they have names yet?
Jenn
So, so lovely! Made me smile…
Hug.
Dear Lynn,
I have been reading your blog for about one month and I just wanted you to know how deeply it inspires and replenishes me. The pictures, you gentle love of nature, your love of Charlotte Mason and your ideas have lifted my spirits more than once. I have a daughter who is 9 and your idea of the year of the doll was so touching I asked Annie if she would like to do this and she of course said yes. We made our first room the other day out of a box from the grocery store.
I wanted to ask you a question since you work part-time from home. I also work part-time from home. I am a single mother to one child who attends a University Model Christian School two days a week and home school three days per week. I do foster/adoption home studies as a contractor so I can set my own hours and schedule and try to work when she is with her dad or when at school. I have found myself getting so tired and burned out lately really wishing I didn’t have to work, but I do. I am very thankful that I can work about 15 hours per week and that is all but still it is tiring schooling (which I absolutely love), working, cleaning etc. My question is, how do you do it all???? I read about your recent medical problems and I am praying that God will heal you and restore your body completely. I am a Christian as well. How much do you work during the week?
Sorry to ramble, but just wanted to say thank you for the beauty of your writings and your blog.
Bless you,
Ashley
Jenn, Michaela has named them Midnight and Boomerang, though I cannot begin to tell them apart! Boomerang moves all over the cage, hence the name.
Rute, thank you.
Ashley, thank you so much. And just enjoy the doll house. This, for us, has been spread out over nearly two years now and it is a very relaxed, cumulative thing that has become a part of our relationship. We are always finding little things now and saying, “Oh that would be cute in a doll house!”
I know exactly how you feel about working. It is not easy. If I did not love homeschooling so much, there’s no way I could keep going. And there are days that we don’t get as much done in an interactive sense (the way I really like it best), but I have found that I can find plenty to keep Michaela busy. I work 24 hours a week. I’d say math is the one thing I worry about when I’m not consistent with it. But for other subjects there are so many things that she can do without me. Word finds, drawing, writing, keeping a journal, painting, and handicrafts are all things we do for school. And thanks for asking about my health. I’m feeling better all the time and hope to continue on that path.
Thanks again,
Lynn
