Homestead dreams of harmony and such…

Our hens got their first taste of outdoor spring fun today. They are just a few weeks away from being old enough for outdoor life and today was their first glimpse of the outdoors. Boy were they unsure in the beginning but they eventually took to chasing bugs and having fun in the yard. There...

On trusting the natural healing process of the body: Jack is healed.

I realized I never really updated you guys about the healing of Jack our orange cat. Remember the cracked jawbone, the limp he walked with and his starved state when he came home following his 2 weeks missing in action? For financial reasons we didn’t rush him off the the vet. He wasn’t appearing to...

Jack’s Odyssey

It has been two weeks since we’ve seen Jack, our indoor kitty that moved outside. N spotted a road kill cat a few days ago near the house and came to me asking if I wanted him to investigate and see if it was our Jack. We first thought he had run off and shacked...

Wound watch and why we don’t rush for help.

I like hanging my clothes to dry in the sunshine and collecting rain water for the garden. It’s not necessarily because I am cheap or “hippy” or because I am obsessed with saving the earth. It is because I like working in cooperation with nature rather than against it. I don’t run to the doctor...

Critters in my back yard: Rabbits, snakes, spiders, frogs and more.

There are only about 3 weeks left until I’ll be at The Farm. I am doing great and Tater seems to be planning to stay inside for a bit longer (thank goodness). I’ve told her she has to stay put until June 4th at least, that way she’ll be full term! In the meantime we...

Pets are adjusted, I think. Hell has frozen over!

The animals are finally beginning to settle down, it is a freaking miracle! We aren’t waking to Dixie pawing at the door or excessive yowling from Hailey in the middle of the night AND everyone seems to be getting the hang of their new lives & homes. Dixie now uses her nifty dog house for...

Weekend #2 in our new place, it’s been busy!

I’ve got 3 posts in my saved drafts that I’ve been working on. I’ve written them pretty well but cant seem to actually finish them. They are even decent writing pieces that focus on specific topics rather than my usual “here are the updates” posts like this one. I’ve been trying to bust out some...
