Hoppenings From the Homestead

October 31, 2025 - A Change in the Air

Something has shifted here at Hot Cross Buns Homestead. It’s subtle — not loud, not flashy — more like the quiet hush that settles over a field before the first snowflake drifts down. A calm that invites listening. A stirring that hints at new beginnings.

For nearly a decade, my days were defined by tiny paw prints, soft whiskers, and the gentle rhythms of raising Holland Lops. That chapter shaped my heart. It still does, but lately the air feels different. The Lord whispers that seasons change, and with them, so do we.

The rabbits remain, of course — beloved residents and cherished companions — but the center of gravity is shifting. Toward the soil. Toward the seedlings. Toward the quiet magic of compost returning life to the earth, the miracle of worms transforming scraps into nourishment, the tender hope of tiny green shoots pushing up toward the sun.

I am learning new rhythms now. I am learning to listen again, to lean into the slower growth that happens underground and unseen. This homestead is gently finding its voice — not replacing the old song, but adding harmony to it.

Change can feel tender and uncertain, like a chrysalis right before it opens. But it also feels right. Rooted. Purposeful. I am grateful to be growing into whatever comes next, one small step at a time.

If you are here walking this path with me — through bunnies, compost, homestead dreams, and beautiful unknowns — thank you. God is doing something new. I can feel it in the gentle shift of the breeze.

And I’m glad you’re here to witness it with me.
