We have decided to build the girls some play equipment. On our list are a see saw, a bigger sandbox, a swing set, a pirate play house, and a tree house. We started with the swing set but ran into a couple of complications so switched to the see saw. We rented … Continue reading Homemade See Saw 
So the bear did not come back to visit that we know of, thankfully. Though our dog did go kind of nuts at one point, but Kris went to check it out and didn’t see a sign of any unwanted visitors. Went out to the coop this morning to find more chicks! … Continue reading More chicks 
So much has been going on in the last couple of days! We have three broody hens. Two went broody about three weeks ago so I put eggs under both of them. The other just went broody this past week. We put even more eggs under her. We have been researching and wanting ducks since … Continue reading Ducklings and chickens and bears, oh my! 
Well, it’s spring again and we have started full force in the gardening for this year. Time to attempt to write in the blog more again. I planted some seeds in February but most of them perished. Even in a nice warm room by a super sunny window under a little fan, they were … Continue reading 2012 Garden Plans 
I have been meaning to make an advent calendar this year, but procrastinating. I finally sat down to do it tonight and realized I didn’t have all the material I need. The fabric store was already closed, but I had all my sewing stuff out and a chance to sew, so on a bit of … Continue reading Toddler Mei Tai 
Back in September, we had one of our hens go broody. I tried a few times to stop her but she was very insistent, so eventually I gave in and put a few eggs under her. I had read on Backyard Chickens that with a mother hen, chicks should be fine even at this time … Continue reading Baby chicks! 
I’ve had very little time/motivation to blog this summer. I hope to catch up slowly at some point, but who knows. I wanted to post a couple more things I have made recently though. The first is a birthday dress for Meredith. She wanted something with purple, and she loved the mushroom fabric. She knew … Continue reading Cargo pants and a birthday dress The weather has finally gotten nice again, which gave me some motivation to finish sewing the girls some dresses. So far, I’ve finished a dress for Fiona from this pattern. I kind of winged the sizing, and I think I’ve made it too big, probably more like a 2-3. It’s not quite … Continue reading More sewing 
A friend wanted to borrow a book of mine last week, and when I couldn’t find it on the one shelf we had set up already, I looked at the boxes of books we had sitting in the corner and decided it would be good motivation to finally get them out of boxes. Our older group of chicks is around 18-24 weeks of age now, so we’ve been expecting eggs any day now. A couple of mornings ago, one of the roosters woke me up in the morning crowing. It’s the first real crowing we’ve had so far. I joked with Kris that the hens were behind and … Continue reading We have eggs! |
