Wanderers

September 9, 2020 By Jan 29 Comments

Luke the Wanderer

I've always loved this saying, especially back in the day when we went hiking a lot. These days, while we stick close to home, Luke and I (or Luke and the Dadz) are often wanderers. We both let Luke mostly choose where he wants to go when we're out on our walks. Some days Luke sticks closer to the trails, other days he likes to follow his nose through the woods. On my day … [Read more...]

Small Farm Scenes

#FarmLife

The one thing I will miss the most with summer ending is the evenings spent out on our deck simply watching our birds enjoying their free ranging. We've already had some evenings that were too chilly or rainy for sitting out, but there will still be plenty more to enjoy. The colors in our gardens are slowly fading but they are not giving up yet. As you can see in the … [Read more...]

Farm to Table – Kale BLT Pasta Salad Recipe

August 28, 2020 By Jan 23 Comments

This is such a great summer harvest recipe, but I've gotta tell ya - it does not feel like summer here right now, our weather has plunged into autumn quite suddenly! However, it's still harvest time for the veggies, and this is one of my favorite recipes for using fresh kale and cherry tomatoes from the garden. I shared our other, Baked Eggs with Kale & Cherry Tomatoes, … [Read more...]

A Growing Flock

August 21, 2020 By Jan 23 Comments

Barking Dog Organic Farm

Our second incubator hatch went better than the first! We ended up with 7 chicks and 2 guinea keets. While still not phenomenal, we are happy with it. We think we know part of what we did wrong with the incubator last time, but in the end it turned out that many of the eggs simply weren't fertile. We only picked eggs from the hens we thought were some of our rooster Charlie's … [Read more...]

What’s in a Dog Walk?

August 19, 2020 By Jan 32 Comments

Lab Mix Posing for Photos

There is so much more to a dog walk than just the walking!  A Farm Dog's Finds: We're not sure if this was a turkey or a hawk feather (I think turkey but there's been a lot of hawks around lately too). Either way, Luke thinks they are fun to crunch on! Speaking of eating while on walks, who else has to constantly say "Stop grazing!" when they're out on a dog walk? … [Read more...]

Lab Mix Luke Supervises Kitchen Duties

Some cooler nights here and there remind us here on the farm that Summer is beginning its wind down. We just had another hot spell though, so it’s not giving in yet! We had a spell mid-summer where the gardens were looking kind of bland. I got in and chopped down some of the weeds and things have been doing better since then! I think our lack of rain (we are considered in a … [Read more...]

Cucumber Overload!

August 12, 2020 By Jan 34 Comments

Cucumbers and Dip

Our cucumber harvest is really outdoing itself this year! We pick about this many every other day: We've been selling some in our little farmstand and at my shop, and I'm trying to find time to make some refrigerator pickles and maybe a cucumber salad. When we start to get overloaded, we give the older ones to the farm birds, they love them (they prefer it if we cut … [Read more...]

Quizl Time!

Quizl Time!

It's no secret I've long been a fan of the pet company West Paw. We have many of their pet beds and toys in our home; but lately it's been the Quizl* that has been Luke's favorite, and my favorite as well. It makes me feel far less guilty when I have to leave him home alone to go to my shop. (By the way, this post is not sponsored; though some of the links in it are affiliate … [Read more...]

Growing Up Fast!

August 5, 2020 By Jan 26 Comments

Mama Hen & Chicks

It's hard to believe the chicks are already just over 3 weeks old; they are growing like little weeds! "Look at me - I can drink out of the big girls' drinker!!" However, we still like to mostly stick close to our Mama. ♥ By the way, our incubator is full of eggs, we're trying again! In less than two weeks, we may have even more new additions! We are happy to be … [Read more...]

Happy National Mutt Day!

July 31, 2020 By Jan 26 Comments

Happy National Mutt Day

July 31st and December 2nd are both celebrated as National Mutt Day, also known as National Mixed Breed Dog Day. Luke says he prefers to be called a "mixed breed" though I think "mutt" has a better ring to it for this day. However, we respect his wishes. :) National Mutt Day was started in 2005 to raise awareness for mixed breed dogs in need of homes. Mixed breeds make up … [Read more...]

Bean Boy

Anticipation

As far as farm dog Luke is concerned, there is nothing better than the first bean of the season! This year the yellow beans are coming first; I planted a different variety of green beans so they are behind (which is actually a good thing so we're not overloaded all at once!). We've also been harvesting cucumbers (one of the few vegetables Luke does not like), … [Read more...]

Farm, Flower, & Family

July 24, 2020 By Jan 36 Comments

Alyssum & Petunias

My flower gardens have been sadly neglected this year, since I've been so busy with my new shop. Luckily we have so many perennials around the farm, that Mother Nature takes care of a lot of it for me. The phlox and hosta are fighting it out here. This year it seems the phlox is winning, but I think that's because hosta is a favorite of the chickens to munch on! … [Read more...]

The Whole Hatching Story

July 17, 2020 By Jan 38 Comments

Black Australorp Mama Hen

I’ve kind of only been giving you bits and pieces here and there about all that has been going on around the farm with hatching eggs. First of all, I’ll tell you that in last week’s incubator hatch, we only got one more chick, for a total of four. That was thanks to the Dadz, who rescued her from her shell! They always tell you that you shouldn’t mess around with the … [Read more...]
