End of Indian Summer


Can't let November close without a post....


The last day of warm weather came last weekend--perfect for catching up on the few remaining chores before winter. The chicken coop operation consumed most disposable time this summer and autumn, leaving little for things like cutting and stacking wood to dry for next year, raking leaves and planting new trees. We did get in a couple new apple trees, and here Myrick and I take a break from leaf-raking and pile-jumping: a good day.


Looking forward to T-day weekend, when GRO and Sasha will be joining us for a bit of hard labor and chainsaw practice....

Hiking with Dad in the Rain



We skipped church one recent Sunday morning because we were just in need of some family time. And of course it was raining. So what to do? Put on the ducky raincoat and next-size-up-rainboots and go for a hike anyway!

My First Eggs!


Yay - our very first eggs! They are a bit small to start out, but oh-so-yummy! We pulled in 8 over these past three days. Nate has been busily getting their permanent nesting boxes installed, the seams insulated against drafts, their roost nailed in place, the inner door made, and last on the list will be the roof over their run to give some protection from the winter snows. Thank you, Nate!!

Snuggling with Lamby

I know this seems like such a dull video - Myrick is just laying here watching televison. But I'm posting this for my mom who will enjoy watching Myrick love on lamby. Not very action-packed, but so sweet!
