A lovely addition to salads and veggie trays! The kids, lady Tess and I love them fresh off the vine too!!

I had an abundance of donated egg cartons from customers....i am upcycling for planting boxes to start my garden!! Too early to risk planting outside yet...but peas love the cold, so here I go!!

Now to head out to plant my peas in the garden!!

Tess and I are thrilled to announce that our Pretty Birds are flying the property daily now! I don't know HOW I got to calling the pigeons "pretty birds" but if I say it....my Lady Tess knows exactly what we are doing. She doesn't watch them in confused circles anymore, she herds them. If they land somewhere they shouldn't, she barks at them and they go back to work! ha!! I love that dog!! The birds are a beauty to watch and listen to! Here's a couple glimpses from this week's flights.

Soon they will be ready for my photographer friends to utilize!!

PLEASE MOM?!
Farmer Boy got to stomp in it and jump around...can't I just roll in the horse manure for five minutes? Just five minutes?!
Love, Tess

Dear Tess, I'll let ya know when we are ready to spread it!

Providence Farm got year-seasoned horse manure today from a horse ranch......horses are not fed all the junk of cows and pigs around us......so it's great to have environmentally friendly boost to our garden plots!

I need a GoPro for this funny farm I live on!!!

As the thunder rolled and the sky grew eerie, I donned my rain gear to run through chores.....

I let my girls out...over an acre from their coop, more than that from the house....

The skies let lose and HAIL is upon us!

I yell out RUN GIRLS ...i dove into an unused metal hog hut with 30 sqwaking angry flapping chickens joining me.....with pelting hail....

My laughter could not be heard above the noise!!

Just one more reason to raise chickens....keeps you active and energized
