The Scott Homestead

The Scott Homestead Living close to the way our ancestors lived: cooking from scratch and raising much of own food. More than soap!

I wanted to share some of the things we've been learning in the kitchen [and around our little homestead!] and trying to go back to the ways Gramma did things with healthy and natural products and healthy eating.

We got our fluffy butts today! 25 meat bird chicks 🥰. They’re SOOOO CUTE! 🐥🤗 We decided to put them in the basement for a few days instead of the trailer until it warms up a bit outside. It was below zero this morning with a dusting of snow. 🥴
Next week my layer eggs in the incubator will be hatching! I can’t wait. 🥰🐥

This may have been a lot funnier to me than it should have been LOL 😂🤣🤣🤣

Hubby was out and about in the yard today! Moving snow out of our outside garden area and into the greenhouse! It’s quite dry in there so might as well help the snow melt! (Remember what happened to Frosty?? ☃️ lol). We also had a lot of snow damage to our cherry and apple trees we planted 2 years ago. 5/6 feet of snow is HEAVY. The one apple tree got the worst of the damage. Almost every branch broken.
He also got the rain gutter water tote set up on the back greenhouse. It’s been used by the chickens all winter. It’s almost time to move them into the barn so we can get it ready to put plants in there!
You can also see the trees he dropped in the fall and the river of water from the snow melt. The snow is getting closer to being gone until October/November.

Had a coffe on the deck and enjoyed the sunshine and view this morning! First outdoor morning coffee this year. Listened to the chickens foraging, the various birds chirping their happy songs, a wood pe**er pecking and a grouse drumming. ❤️ And no bugs lol.
