In the way back machine: Calcutta the bunbun

Okay, let's hop in the way back machine. Judging by my hair and size, I'm guessing I was 7 or 8 in this photo. My family used to raise rabbits for meat when I was kid and this was Calcutta our buck. Calc lived a long time, and even eventually retiring to be an indoor bunny for the last few months of his life (waaay after all the other buns were no longer with us).

He was great...coal black from tip to tail with bright yellow eyes. =)

Cass, if I sent you a black bunny, blue knee high socks, and sandals, what would it take for you to stage a reenactment of that picture? :twisted:

It's the blue socks that do it, isn't it? ;)

That's so neat! Do you have any other farm pictures to share?

I'll dig around Cue...occ. my Dad emails me pictures from way back when. =)

Thanks Cass! I really enjoy pictures of way back when and your farm childhood intrigues me to no end. Do you ever think about moving back to a farm someday?

Adam, you are a bad bad man.

Intriqued, huh? What, that they still grow'em like that? =) I found some other pictures on my hard drive, of how the farm looks now (which isn't very farm like - all lush, beautifully landscape country resort house looking), one of me dressed up like a chicken for halloween (how about no) and one of me taking a bath in a bucket on the porch of the cabin we lived in for a couple of years when we first moved to Indiana.

But this is a family site and I can't show you a picture of me nekked in a bucket, even if I was 5! =D

I thank you...

That's so cool Cass! Does your family still live on the farm? Is it a working farm anymore? Is there still a barn?

They still live on the same property, yes. Although we called it "the farm", it wasn't a farm in the sense of growing crops or hogs or anything. My folks land is 17 acres in the rolling hills of Southern Indiana. Growing up, we had horses (alfafa eating machines we'd occ. ride), dogs, cats, rabbits, sometimes turkeys and a huuuuge vegetable garden. Two thirds of the land is woods, always full of deer and what-have mid-western fauna, although my family was never into hunting.

So, it was never a "working farm", so to speak, other than veggies and rabbit meat.

My dad still owns his family farm up in northern Indiana, corn and soybeans, which he pays his cousin to farm or we rent it to him, I'm not sure.

The original barn on the property is still sort of there...it's evolved over the past 30 years, updated and added on to, so the original barn isn't recognizable anymore and is how my parent's business (residential architectural design and build company plus interior design and high-end cabinet shop).

The original stone cabin on the property is still there (tiny one room building we lived in while my parents built a house) and has just recently been updated and now my Dad's office.

I don't think I have any pictures of any of the original structures as they were. I'll have to pester my Dad.

Thanks for all the details, sounds like a great place for a kid to grow up! Looking forward to any and all pictures. Do you know the build date on the stone building?
