Sharing our restoration journey of an 1890's homestead in the PNW!
FYI: none of these pictures have anything to do with the words, so just pay attention to whichever you're most interested in :D! I spent 2014-15 in school doing prerequisites for the Radiologic Technologist (X-ray Tech) program. I spent 2015-2018 on the waitlist for said program (while working a fantastic job that I was incredibly… Continue reading The Beginning
Okay, so maybe it's not exactly a farm....yet. But here's a picture update of all of our animals and gardens! First and foremost. The goats are the most amazing addition! I love Ben and Jerry. They are crazy and obnoxious, but they are so hard not to love :). The birds and Korben Dallas the… Continue reading Farm Update
I love snow. I love how quiet it makes the world. And how it makes everything so beautiful and soft. And that it feels like the holidays. And that it's terrifying to travel in so that even a trip to the grocery store feels like an adventure. We actually got snowed in for a week… Continue reading Snow
I remember thinking last year that we were having absolutely gorgeous weather for October. I have a few pictures that look like it's August, but are dated October (and I'm sure it wasn't August heat!). We got lucky enough to see some of that same October sunshine this year, with close to half the month… Continue reading Gorgeous Octobers
As I haven't posted any updates in a couple of months, you'll be glad to hear that all six of our chickens are still alive and well. And surprise!! We added four ducklings to the flock a while back as well! Welcome to the homestead Dana, Dena, Dina, and Donna! We hope you're all females.… Continue reading Chickens, Eggs, and Ducks?!
I think the chicks are officially chickens. They're 9 weeks old and are mostly weaned from the heat lamp - I'm still turning it on at night for them; but that stops this weekend! They also finally got their big run put in this past weekend and they are loving it. People tease me practically… Continue reading The Ladies
I don't have a ton of new information regarding the chickens. The other morning I woke up in an absolute panic that I forgot to shut their coop, I rushed out to check on them only to realize that my in-laws are incredible people. We got home semi late and I went straight into the… Continue reading Chick Update!
A week ago the chicks finally made the big move to The Great Outdoors! It was pretty exciting (and equally scary, we hear lots of coyotes out here - not to mention the bald eagles and hawks that fly over!) The first couple nights I was pretty nervous. But they have done beautifully, we just… Continue reading The Great Outdoors!
We've officially had the girls for one month! They're still currently in the brooder in the joint living space, and looking a little bit short on space. They are getting noisier and crazier, and they seem to get in little disagreements that cause a ruckus and a flurry of feathers - well - fluffs, the… Continue reading One Month
From the above blurry image, it's easy to tell these chicks are getting difficult to catch on camera while all six are sitting still! It's hard to believe we've already had this little chicks for 3 whole weeks today. But after seeing some baby chicks at the farm store this weekend, it's even harder to… Continue reading 3 Weeks Old
