big roost went from farm to plate

May 19, 2020 by littlehouseofdiy
big roost went from farm to plate

Big roost went from farm to plate. That darn rooster has been a never-ending issue for them on our farm for longer than I’d like to admit. We tried everything from pinning it down into submission, beating it with sticks, holding him upside down….nothing worked. All the fixes worked temporarily, but sooner or later he … Read morebig roost went from farm to plate

new chicks, old chicks, and a toad

new chicks, old chicks, and a toad

Chicks, chicks and more chicks! New chicks, old chicks, and a toad. It’s a good thing chickens don’t eat toads, because then we’d only have chicks. At the first sign of a pip, the girls were both intently watching the incubator. I thought this wouldn’t be as exciting since they had just seen it 3 … Read morenew chicks, old chicks, and a toad

gardening, art, and garden art

gardening, art, and garden art

This week was all about gardening, art, and garden art. Staying at home is starting to make me appreciate our weekly trips to the grocery store that much more. If nothing else, they were a time to get out of the house. Now, we have to get out of the house by going….to the back … Read moregardening, art, and garden art

starting to feel like spring

March 11, 2020 by littlehouseofdiy

It’s starting to feel like spring around here. The weather has been much warmer this week, which means we’ve been super busy outside. The weeds are already starting to grow and I need to get on the back patch before I can’t anymore! The grass is also starting to turn green and the birds are … Read morestarting to feel like spring

chickens, horses and cleaning

February 9, 2020February 9, 2020 by littlehouseofdiy

Chickens, horses and cleaning, then sleep and repeat. Feed the chickens, feed the horses, feed the family. Clean the coop, clean the stalls and clean the house. Surprisingly, the girls are still into helping at least on the first two and sometimes on the third. With extra chickens in the coop now, we have had … Read morechickens, horses and cleaning

welcome to our chicken hotel

The chickens are starting to go crazy laying, so we needed to update the nesting boxes. Welcome to our chicken hotel! We spent just about every afternoon outside this week working on cleaning out the chicken coop and building new nesting boxes. The girls did pretty good at entertaining themselves while I did my best … Read morewelcome to our chicken hotel

coatracks and a barbie scale

When the highlights of the week are coatracks and a barbie scale, it clearly wasn’t an eventful week. I have been desperately wanting to get our laundry room re-done so we had a place to hang up our coats. The colder weather here means more coats, gloves, hats, boots…and mud, which means a whole lot … Read morecoatracks and a barbie scale

sledding without snow

sledding without snow

It finally snowed enough to build a snowman here. It did not, however, last long enough to get more than a few trips around the yard in on a sled, resulting in sledding without snow. The snowman was just about the only snow left in the yard by afternoon. I got my workout in pulling … Read moresledding without snow

the puppy burned the cookies

December 17, 2019 by littlehouseofdiy

Some might say their dog ate their homework, but in our case, it’s the puppy burned the cookies. The urge for Christmas cookies suddenly hit when I came across a soft gingerbread cookie recipe. The girls have been obsessed with the gingerbread man story too, so when I offered to make some, they instantly accepted. … Read morethe puppy burned the cookies

chickens, crafts, and a bucking bronco

chickens, crafts, and a bucking bronco

Chickens, crafts, and a bucking bronco pretty much sums up this week. Holding the baby chicks is still very high on the day to day priorities for the girls. They are getting bigger each week and watching them grow has been fun for everyone. The rest of our flock however, needed some attention too. Their … Read morechickens, crafts, and a bucking bronco
