Chicken Love & Sheep Dreams: Snow Day!
http://chickenlovesheepdreams.blogspot.com/2015/12/snow-day.html
Chicken Love and Sheep Dreams. Tuesday, 29 December 2015. So we got a heap of snow in a couple of days. so much so that my van is going to remain parked for the time being. At our old place (did I mention we've moved? I would have inched my way down the driveway, and parked at the bottom if I couldn't make it up again. Can't do that at the new place! The road coming into our property is at a fairly decent incline, and apparently not high on the snowplow list! Lots of chocolate, and this tea. The Buff Bab...

Chicken Love & Sheep Dreams: September 2013
http://chickenlovesheepdreams.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Chicken Love and Sheep Dreams. Friday, 27 September 2013. Farm City - The Education of an Urban Farmer" by Novella Capenter was EXACTLY what I needed to read. If you've been reading this space for a while, you may have noticed that I have taken a significant break from posting my once-traditional Friday "Weekend Reading" posts. I love to read. I try. It's a novel I can learn something from. I don't mean history or geography. I like geography. History is a bit meh. I was reading this book when I was knee-...

http://chickenlovesheepdreams.blogspot.com/2014/07/how-does-your-garden-grow.html
Chicken Love and Sheep Dreams. Monday, 7 July 2014. How Does Your Garden Grow? So my lettuces didn't get planted. or rather, they did, but the ducks ate it before I had the netting up and I didn't bother to replant. Thank goodness for garlic that was in last fall:. And New Zealand spinach (not really a spinach) that reseeds itself:. Notice the peas in the background - that was all the kids' doing, not mine). Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Chicken Love & Sheep Dreams: August 2013
http://chickenlovesheepdreams.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Chicken Love and Sheep Dreams. Friday, 9 August 2013. Daughter has wanted to give a chicken a bath for AGES, and this time she had a really good excuse:. Of course, then it quickly spreads and before we know it, we have a full-out issue. OK, so first we get a little mad and disappointed that we are not as good chicken farmers as we thought, and then we get down to business. We soaked them first in a sea salt and pennyroyal oil bath. Then again in the bubbles:. Today was the 3rd (and hopefully final) DE d...

Chicken Love & Sheep Dreams: April 2015
http://chickenlovesheepdreams.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Chicken Love and Sheep Dreams. Thursday, 16 April 2015. It's all about the Snacks. Ok, so I've been doing this "auto-immune paleo diet" thing. For almost 2 months now. How's it going? And thank goodness for my bank account, they're not open on weekends. I'll tell you, for the first while, all I could think about was what I couldn't. No toast or cereal or oatmeal or yoghurt or granola! So I bought coconut yoghurt (not cheap stuff, lemme tell you! Along with the eggs, I've tried a bit of dairy, but my shou...

http://chickenlovesheepdreams.blogspot.com/2014/05/lambing-check.html
Chicken Love and Sheep Dreams. Monday, 12 May 2014. I guess I've been a bit remiss in updates about how the lambing all went this year. (Sorry 'bout that.). Well I'm happy to report 10 healthy lambs running around our little 2 acre piece these days. (Whew! Wow She is my rock star. I shudder to think what would happen if we weren't around to help her. Moo and her lambs. Sunshine's little ewe lamb. So here we are, several weeks later, and everyone doing very well. A happy shepherdess over here :). I'm a ho...

http://chickenlovesheepdreams.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Chicken Love and Sheep Dreams. Sunday, 30 June 2013. Eggs, Eggs, and More Eggs. Dear chicken-crazy daughter got a surprise the other day: EGGS! A couple of months ago, I sold some turkey eggs to a lovely lady from Lytton who got to chatting with my girl and discovered they have a mutual admiration for Salmon Faverolles. "Tricia" promised to bring my girl some eggs next time she was through town. Well. I don't like it when adults promise kids things, as most. But this special lady does :). Problem is, I t...
