'Evening Ladies.Whew. What a month. No, I haven't bailed on my wellness series (they will resume again asap) but I have been REALLY sick for the better part of the month. First we got hit with that ebola-esque flu, then we were well for ten days...
Homesteading
A Mid-Winter’s Coop
You've been asking...I've been putting it off.I mean, there is snow on the groundand a blue tarp still for the roof. (I concede, I will probably loose the "grass roof" arguement when we resume it this spring.)It is not really "Pinterest worthy" compared to those...
Missing my Ladies. And Farm Dreams.
This spring I am really missing my chickens. I am so mad I let them go. Honestly, If I think about it too much I get that heaviness of depression. You know the one, where you sigh and think, "Come on! This is ridiculous." At the time I really felt is was the right...
The Straight Poop…Chicken that is…

Introducing… The City Chicks.
(Let me clarify... Most of you are used to me calling my children, My Chickens. Nothing has changed, lest you get confused. My Chickens will always be My Chickens.) Funny Story.... I know, I am constantly announcing upcoming posts that never turn out to be quite so...
Urban Homesteading…. Parisienne Farmhouse Style
The big gardening project. That's right, the one I have been alluding to for the last month or so... I finally found a moment to tell you about it.Dear Anne at Nada Farm knows how badly we would like a farm of our own so she sent me a YouTube clip about that...
