recipe: bacon and blue cheese breakfast tortillas.
so i’m standing, staring at the fridge wondering what i can whip together and a plan slowly comes together. a wonderfully tasty plan. a plan so wonderfully tasty that i can’t believe it had never occurred to me before – BACON AND BLUE CHEESE BREAKFAST TORTILLAS! i scrambled some fresh eggs from The Girls and [...]
finally, fresh eggs from The (new) Girls!
some time ago we gave away The Old Girls to a nice farm in the country. after two full years of laying they weren’t producing many eggs anymore and were old enough that they probably wouldn’t have tasted any good on the dinner table. as luck would have it, a local organic pumpkin patch was [...]
wanted: reliable poultry water warmer.
we had a poultry water warmer similar to this $50 farm innovators model ( i can’t recall if it was that brand or not but it was the same price ) that stopped working after barely a full season and now that it’s cold enough to freeze the their water over night, i’m wary of [...]
a vignette of Life With The Girls and Pushkin.

The Girls enjoy a Lazy Sunday Lounging in a Dust Bath.
the warmest day of spring yet with the temperature reaching just shy of 80°F create the perfect conditions in our still flowerless flower beds for a dust bath and the The Girls need no one to tell them to settle in for a Lazy Sunday of Lounging in the dirt to help control mites. we [...]
fun with a live trap and One Angry Squirrel!
about six weeks ago we discovered something had gotten up in our roof and i wondered about how you remove a critter from an inaccessible section of a roof? i tried plugging the hole with vinegar soaked socks ( didn’t work ). and steel wool pads ( nope ). i even stapled a long length [...]
The Girls discover Chicken Scratching Heaven.
while free ranging around the yard one of The Girls discovered how to get into our fenced-in blueberry patch which features 4 inch deep pine needle mulch. apparently this is the equivalent of Heaven on Earth and all the other Girls soon saw her followed her lead after seeing her ecstatic scratching around the mulch.
