🐰 You Deserve a Day Like This — Join Us Sunday

Published 6 months ago • 1 min read

Sometimes the most restorative thing we can do is nothing at all—on purpose.

Hi Reader,

This Sunday, June 8 from 10AM to 3PM, Rock Island Farm is open for bunny snuggles—and you’re invited. Just a moment to slow down and feel something soft, still, and real.

On Sunday, you’ll find:
🐰 Adoptable Holland Lop rabbits – kits, gentle adult does, and a few scrappy bucks
🎣 Fishing by the pond – bring your own pole or use one of ours
🐓 Chickens and bunnies to visit and hold
🪑 Shaded spots to sit or make flower crowns
🧺 Plenty of space to bring your own snacks, tire swing, and more
🚗 Free parking + volunteers to guide you
🌧️ Covered porch and pop-up tents – so we’re ready rain or shine

There’s no cost to attend. No RSVP. No pressure to adopt.

Just an open gate and a few hours of calm.
Come as you are. Bring the kids, a friend, or simply yourself.

Rock Island Farm
3172 Rock Island Road
Scottsville, VA 24590

If you’ve ever lived overseas — especially in Europe — you might recognize the feeling. Holiday markets had a way of doing that. This feels like our version. I’ll be there with Weld + Wire...

What if we counted the saves?

September 5, 2025 Friends, I’ve been sitting with this thought, and I finally wrote it down. What if suicide prevention wasn’t measured in funerals? What if, instead of repeating 22 veterans die a day, we actually knew how many survived? What if every hospitalization, every 988 call, every rope or pill a caregiver hid was counted as the prevention it really was? My veteran has survived nine suicide-related hospitalizations since 2014. Each one was a save. But none of them exist in America’s...
