On my way to feed the chickens early this morning, I stopped to gather some mullein flowers. However, I had a little visitor so I decided to leave everything for today. 🫶🏻

Check out those pollen baskets! 😍

Our chickens gave us corn!

Since we combined our flocks a while back, maintaining the vacant run has been very low on the list of priorities. I was out hanging Japanese beetle traps today and spotted corn growing in there.

The scratch we buy from the Mennonites has whole corn in it and the chickens often leave some behind, therefore, they grew some corn!

I found 3 ears that were ready to pick. Unsurprisingly, it is not well-pollinated. I'll be giving it back to them but it sure gave me a good laugh when I found it. 😂

One of our geriatric girls has gone broody!

This is one of the Easter Eggers from our very first flock over 5 years ago. She's older than my son. ❤️

I guess we'll be setting up a maternity ward for her because she doesn't like it when other hens come sit on her eggs when she goes to get food & water. Besides, I have yet to confirm how many eggs she has and I'm pretty sure there have been more added since Saturday when she first started sitting. 😄

I am so pleased with my garlic harvest this year. 😍

Blackberry Cream Cheese Puff Pastry 😍

These were in my Facebook memories from 3 years ago today and now I'm anxiously awaiting more berries to ripen so I can make this again.

For the last couple of days, the blackberry bush we planted last year has been giving us little tastes of what's to come. Check out the giant blackberries I picked just now. 😍 I was not expecting the giant ones. They are delicious!

Good morning from the garden! Today, I'm harvesting mullein flowers to make an earache oil. These little flowers are so fragrant and lovely!
