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 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
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
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
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...]

Nature & Farm Friday – Flowers & Chicks
I've missed sharing all of the beautiful flowers around our farm on Nature Fridays this spring/early summer! I've just been too busy, but I did have time to snap off a couple shots not too long ago. Normally, I'm excited to share our usually prolific clematis bush. However, the chickens have taken over that spot underneath and right beside our front porch for their dust … [Read more...]
Farm Fresh Peas
We can add peas to the list of Luke's favorite farm fresh vegetables! I hadn't planted peas in our garden for quite a few years, but because we accidentally found out he liked them (cooked), I decided to try them again this year. Hubby and I aren't big fans of cooked peas, but I do love fresh sugar snap peas in their pods from the garden. They are best when picked … [Read more...]
Happy 4th of July 2020
Luke is stylin' in his new patriotic bandana, don't you think? He looks pretty happy about it too! Thanks to our friends at Tails Around the Ranch for showing us their handsome guy Norman in this bandana, I could not resist getting one for Luke! Check out their blog shop for this fun bandana and even more (I got myself a pair of dog paw earrings too!). Let's hope … [Read more...]
10 Minutes of Fun
By Luke Keefe I was feeling kinda bored after breakfast the other morning. I knew Momz was probably hiding a new toy in the laundry room so I promptly started whining and led her that way! Luckily, she caught on, and I got a new hedgehog toy to play with! Since I had just eaten, Momz wouldn't chase me around with it, so I had to make my own fun. … [Read more...]
Yaheetech Dog Playpen Review
Yaheetech has several dog playpens available, and when given the opportunity to review one, I got the tallest one they had. Luke is a good jumper, so I was concerned this would not even be tall enough to contain him. However, it’s small enough area-wise that I don’t think he could get the momentum to jump out. Still, there is plenty of room for even a medium-sized dog like him … [Read more...]

Life with Guinea Hens – Story 7
Are Guinea Fowl Smart Birds, or Not? (& Other Farm News) Follow Me If you talk to people who have guinea hens in their flock, a good majority of those people are going to tell you that guinea fowl are not very smart birds (I’m putting it more diplomatically than most do!). I’ve said it myself, as I’ve watched one run along the inside perimeter of the run frantically … [Read more...]
Toy Time!
Luke has been so patient with getting used to my new schedule, and sometimes having to wait until later in the day for the Dadz to walk him. He finds his own ways to burn off a little energy on those days! I love to see him playing with old toys, often he has lost interest in them. He received this paracord knotted ring for Christmas and still gets it out every so often. It … [Read more...]
