Summer Garden week 7 and new chicks
Every year around this time I start questioning why we plant so many squash, because they ultimately start to consume your life, there is only some much squash 4 people can eat. It never fails I think well let only plant 4 zucchini 4 yellow squash, but 4 turns into at least 8 each. Because […]
Summer Garden week 6
The garden is still growing and producing extremely well, we haven’t had any rain in what seems like forever so I am watering about every other day. I am also picking yellow and zucchini squash almost everyday and have had tons and tons. Good thing we just love it. I have some more zucchini recipes […]

Tales from the Coop
Last week I did a tales from the crib post so I thought I would do one from the chicken coop. Cribs and Coops that about sums up my life lately. I spend lots of time cleaning each. As I’ve might have mentioned before chickens are such curious, funny, little personalities, they like to be […]
Summer Garden week 1
For the first time I can say WE planted the garden this weekend, usually DT does it by himself but he forced convinced me I need to give it a go. So I did and it was actually kinda fun doing it together. Not that I’ve never planted anything before, just not our vegetable garden. […]
