IMG_2709It’s one of those days. What do we talk about today? We did things. We have plans for the weekend. Sue’s been working her butt off. Just like always. Sun comes up beautifully each morning (see photo at left) and sets just a gorgeously in the evening (see final photo). Chickens adventure out and come back to roost in the evening. The Goat Boys play their silly goat boy games. Animal visitors come and go; some have made a home here – not that we really want them. shall we have a little look at what I’m talking about?

thankfullySue is always up for a challenge, whatever needs to be done to make something work better, she’ll tackle it – even if its something she has never, ever tried before. Thankfully, we have amazing friends and neighbors who are often willing to lend a hand when the job needs another tackler (or two). Continue reading →

literary chickensA very good friend of mine gave me a book of chicken portraits, “Literary Chickens” by Beth Moon. The photos are done so wonderfully; the photographer captures perfectly the personality of each of her little chicken subjects. The photos are all black and white and are paired with literary quotes that match the photo. It’s a wonderful book to look through. I am no where near that type of amazing photographer… but I do have a portrait for you. Continue reading →

Garden woes

woesMy mom and I speak on the phone every week. Lately, she’s been keeping me informed about all her garden successes. I’m just a little bit jealous. They’ve had so much more rain than normal this spring – it’s made mom’s plants all just take off. We’re more than a little bit behind on the garden front. Continue reading →

chickAs you know, we usually receive three or so batches of chicks over the summer months. Most of these are meat birds, but we have others in there, this year, as well. This last week we received our final shipment for the summer. We also ended up with some surprise babies from one of our friends in town. I’ll explain and share some photos below. Continue reading →

Coop shuffle

shuffleWe do a lot of odd things around here. I’ve mentioned several times that we must be an endless source of entertainment for our neighbors. One of the more fun but odd things we do is the coop shuffle. It happens periodically when we have chicks that need to move out of the brooder. Continue reading →

112°

IMG_6074Need I say more? I’m almost tempted to stop right now, but I do have an update on one of the ongoing projects. So, I’ll just start off by saying that this was a photo of our weather station readout at around 3pm today. Yes, it was 112° when we were out ding chores this afternoon. It’s is so blame hot the trees are wilting even as we water them. We can’t keep the potted plants in the nursery area wet enough, and the gabion garden dries out in a couple of hours after watering. This hot spell is only supposed to last through tomorrow. I really hope it is true; the chickens and the trees and everyone will just feel so much better. Continue reading →

IMG_6051Hello everyone! We hope you all passed a happy Independence day! Ours was quiet, but we did take dessert up to our lovely neighbors and had dessert in their tree house. It was lovely. Sue’s Strawberry Brownie layer cake experiment turned out very well. Yum! Continue reading →

is there a theme?

themeFor a long while now, I’ve been having trouble with content generation. I wonder if this is how pastors sometimes feel when they have to come up with deep meaningful sermons week after week. At least I need neither be deep nor meaningful; however, I really feel that I should have some type of underlying theme for each of these blogs. Theme: an idea that recurs in or pervades a work of art or literature. In reality, these blogs aren’t a work of art and they certainly cannot be considered literature by any stretch of the imagination, but – the answer to the question posed in the title?- no. No, there is not a theme. Just a few paragraphs of information about what we’re dong here. Continue reading →
