About Me

Greenberry House, Blue Ridge Mountains, Virginia. I am a hand spinner and I raise German Angora rabbits for their fiber at the old family farm. I'm planning a market garden and we're in the process of starting three family businesses here connected with our heritage. For more about my pets and daily life check out my other blog at http://greenberry.blogspot.com.

My Symphony

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 the stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart; to bear on cheerfully, do all bravely, awaiting occasions, worry never; in a word to, like the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common."--William Henry Channing

What's New?

In the Bunny House

Beautiful chocolate doe bred for mid March litters. Lovely buck from summer litters that carries chocolate gene for sale.
