Because we have a tendency to put a lot on our plates at one time, things around here tend not to get done until they absolutely need to be done. Every little thing seems to get prioritized and placed either on the list of things that absolutely must be crammed into today or the list […]
This project really deserves some long overdue love on this blog. We have dabbled with the idea of a mobile chicken coop for several years. The idea of it made sense in so many ways. Being able to rotate our chickens around our pastures and gardens would not only help with the fertilization of our […]
Since I missed posting flower pictures just about every Friday in June and July, here’s a few of my favorite pictures from the summer of our flowers heading to market.

The last of my tulips are on their last legs but going out with a bang. Falling toward the light from the window, they still look pretty. Until next year…
We’ve seen a few box turtles lately. Or just the same one floating around the garden. Milan found “his” turtle this morning in the swiss chard and sugar snap peas. As we walked down the next row he decided to check his boot to make sure there wasn’t a turtle in there. All clear. Now, […]
