Beginning Again

When I closed the rabbitry, I believed it was for good.

After ten years of planning litters, raising babies, and carefully matching rabbits with families, I fully intended to step away and not return to breeding.

It felt like the right decision at the time.

But over the months that followed, I realized something unexpected — I missed it...deeply.

I missed planning pairings and studying pedigrees.
I missed watching tiny kits stretch and yawn in the nest box.
I missed the careful evaluation of temperament as personalities began to unfold.
And most of all, I missed working with families and witnessing that quiet, joyful moment when a rabbit meets their person for the first time.

Not the busy parts. Not the pressure.
But the heart of it.

So here we are again.

Hot Cross Buns is active — intentionally, thoughtfully, and at a sustainable pace. Smaller than before. Steadier than before. Rooted in experience and clarity.

Hot Cross Hoppenings is returning as a simple record of that life — growth, milestones, personalities, and the quiet rhythm that keeps everything grounded.

It feels good to say this:

I’m so glad to be back and welcome you to follow in this journey.
