Bunnies for meat and a stroll through Historic Schoenbrunn

Today I wanted to show off some of the bunnies from the farm, you all met John the neighbor before, what a critter he is, you just never know what he is going to do or get into! I always find "treasures" on my back porch that he thinks I will like, if it's something he is going to trash, he brings it to my porch instead just in case I want it LOL and Cora knows also that "Laurrie will take it", so she gives John the goods and he drags them over here, gotta love them!

the neighbors! We get our beef and lovely brown eggs from these folks (as well as all those treasures)

and like I said, you just NEVER have a clue what he will drag out of one of his barns or sheds, one day he showed up in our driveway on THIS! all proud as a peacock too LOL

 talk about vintage LOL

I guess you just have to get them out on occasion to keep the beasts running!

 now meet the "meat bunnies" they get HUGE, and are awesome in the freezer, yea I know, they are cute

but they do make some great suppers, at least we know what goes into them, and well, can I just say they are the best bunnies in my opinion :)

We are fortunate enough to live near HISTORIC SCHOENBRUNN VILLAGE

in fact, my husband grew up real close to there, the park was his stomping grounds as a kid and now his brother actually owns a portion of the park area - we call it the family pond, there is an acre old gravel pit pond that we love to go swimming and have gatherings at during the hot summer months!

but for today I will show you the park area at Schoenbrunn, many a family walk has been taken there, family reunions held there too in this pavilion

so pretty and peaceful there (still have picnic tables in there too)

 the grounds used to be covered with picnic tables and little grills, today only one single grill remains, and the grill/grate portion is missing

 it's not used so much anymore and you can rarely find anyone down here, I used to mow this area as a volunteer every Monday :)

 then there is the "wishing well" it doesn't hold water any longer but it's still a gorgeous piece of history

lots of family photos taken around here

We even had a hog roast down here for one of our reunions, plenty of space for all the generations to play and run around, trails to walk and lots of wildlife to see

the road my brother in law made from his pond property over to the park, lovely fall walk :)

Hope you enjoyed your little visit ~ please stop back again soon.
