For those of you who like to know what Amelia is up to: she has been released from jail. Tomato season is winding down, and the pantry is stocked with canned tomatoes, salsa, and jam. Sauce should be done today. So the fully free-range chicken is back with the ducks, while she scoffs at the fenced chicken flock.

Tomatoes are coming in. But I can’t pick them faster than Amelia can eat them, so she’s going into lockdown!

This mama didn’t hatch most of her eggs, so we picked up another dozen locally. Yay for mini muffins, my favorite farm babies💕

Time for an Amelia update. Over the past five years, we have had ducks and geese come and go. Quail. Pigs and lambs. Stints with bees and rabbits. And so many chickens! Some lost to predators, illness, the auction, the freezer.

Through it all, our long-time resident Amelia just keeps on trucking. (Knock on 🪵) She mainly lives among the ducks but goes wherever she pleases all day. Problem is, she is always changing her laying spot, so sometimes after a move we eventually stumble upon a nest of eggs like we did under the lavender.

However, as you may recall…once the tomatoes begin to ripen, this chicken will go into lockdown.
