My big sister, the candle maker, has returned. This week my youngest will undergo a procedure you would think must be science fiction. He had such a strong 7 years, after a very grim prognosis, but the seizures are winning and this is our Hail Mary. I’m so glad my sister brings her light ❤️

Looking at possibly expanding the flock - we’ve had an Eglu forever - 8 full size hens is definitely the max, some of our older ladies are getting picked on. We may start a little bantam flock too (+ the granny chickens). Anyone have experience with these? nestera.us/products/chi...

More itty bitty little plants arriving in boxes. Spring seems so far off … here’s hoping I can carry them along until planting time - more perennials - my 2025 flower goals.

Some of these ladies are getting up there in years (pandemic chicks!) we are looking at adding a little color diversity back into our eggs - I’m hoping for Marans ❤️🤞

Attempting to keep these little plugs alive (but dormant) until spring arrives. The farm goal this year is to build up out perennial cut flower beds, and possibly make a return to some heavier vegetable gardening - this wild weather isn’t making it easy - stay tuned 🙃

It’s frigid here in Ohio. Freya (our outdoor cat) is on her outdoor heating pad in her house, the chickens are closed inside the coop (with some little bowls of fruit) and Bruno (our pig), is snug in the shed with a heated water dish & a heat lamp 🤞 dreaming of warmer days! ❤️
