I just had to say it. I went three days ago to pick up a breeding pair of free Mini Rex bunnies from a family who had lost their husband/father very suddenly and the kids couldn't bear to do 4-H anymore without their Dad
It was a sad situation but they were just the most lovely people I have met in a loong time.
Not only did they give us the bunnies, their crates for going home, their food bowls, their water bottles, and ALL of their 4-H paperwork and workbooks, BUT to top it off we were admiring their Guinea Hens that they ranging on the property and I told her that I hoped to get some next year and she asked me if I wanted some hatching eggs, for free! She gave me a whole dozen hatching eggs that are now on day two in my bator.
I cannot get them out of my head. The two children were teenagers and were so poliet and down to earth and the Mom was just great.
I plan to send them a little something as a Thank You.
We have a bad tick problem here on our farm and I have Lyme Disease myself. Our littlest daughter who is three was treated this year for tick fever after a bite. But everyone locally wanted $5-$9 per Guinea Keet and there was no way I could swing that price until next year. These eggs were a real blessing, she said they've been giving them to her neighbor and he's been hatching them out like crazy. I cannot wait to see how many we get.
There still are some really great people out there.
Life is good!
