Sharing our restoration journey of an 1890's homestead in the PNW!
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?!
First of all, let me apologize for the long absence. We've been awful busy out here! I'll start by sharing on our recent additions to the homestead, as of June 10, we've got two little baby barn kittens! We'd been searching for some barn kittens; as I'm sure you can imagine, living in the middle… Continue reading Kittens
The plants on the property have been going crazy. We've had rainy gloomy days followed by hot sunny summer days over and over for quite a while now. I suppose that's the best kind of Spring. I'm a big fan of summer. I'm not such a big fan of Spring. But since getting invested in… Continue reading Property Update
This week has been pretty busy. Heck, this year has been pretty busy. My husband has had a huge project going on at work for the past month, and now they are going to be moving the company to a new building in a few weeks to top it off! He's been pretty beat lately.… Continue reading Still Continuing the Lift!
This week I have a ton of flower pictures to share again; May is gorgeous around here. But we also did quite a bit of work, that doesn't look like a ton of work. We got the chicken run all fenced in - including some fishing net over the top to discourage the eagles. We… Continue reading The Lift Continued…
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!
First of all, apologies for the neglect. I know you've been dying to hear what's going on, when in reality there's been a lack of updates due to the lack of updates :). On a positive note, there's been a ton of change in the foliage and what they say is true, April showers bring… Continue reading The Lift
We didn't get to do too much with the Cabin again this weekend, but that didn't keep us from being productive! We've learned that there is always more to be done around here! My father-in-law brought home a beautiful tractor and I was given the privilege of the maiden voyage running the tiller! I did… Continue reading Homestead Living
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!
