It’s been a couple of weeks since I reported that after the rooster was separated from the girls, Eager is happy, out of the nest box, and mingling with the other hens and pullets. Eager is so happy, in fact, that she is expressing… Continue Reading “Eager Expresses Her Joy”
Road Runner has been banished from the coop. We have put him in the little coop that we used for the sick roosters last fall and winter (thoroughly sanitized of course). As you can imagine, he is not pleased! There are two excellent reasons… Continue Reading “The Rooster is Mad”
This has been another not-very-productive weekend. I had dental surgery on Friday and was just not up to doing much of anything. I did, however, wander through the garden to check how much frost damage we had from the below freezing temperatures we had… Continue Reading “First Harvest”

A big issue I have getting some of my projects done is getting the supplies to the house. Lugging home 2x4s and sheets of plywood has been a trial, and, progress has been very slow building up some of the infrastructure I want on… Continue Reading “Old Yeller Comes to Visit”
Like many, we did not go anywhere for Thanksgiving. Nevertheless, we enjoyed good food and used that time to count our blessings and note the things for which we are grateful. We also will not gather for Christmas. Just because we can’t do what… Continue Reading “Into December”
