Farm 4630: November 2009
http://farm4630.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
City girl tries for a bit of country. Sunday, November 15, 2009. The chickens have developed Fall pattern baldness. And they're not happy about it. In this typical Portland fall weater (gray, damp, 40's), they sit huddled on the back steps waiting like vampires for an invitation over the threshold. No luck there, but leftover pasta (sans garlic) will temporarily stay the baleful glares. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Oh who can keep track by now? I spy with my four eyes:.

Farm 4630: December 2008
http://farm4630.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
City girl tries for a bit of country. Monday, December 22, 2008. Labels: chicken snow oatmeal. Wednesday, December 17, 2008. To each her own. Variations on a theme. Thanks to the garden. I've never had wonderful luck with pumpkins in my yard, but I try each year anyway. This year I planted a Cinderella pumpkin ( Rouge Vif D’Etampes. For you qui parle heirloom squash). The result was a single beautiful red fruit. It sat on the dining room table for weeks, waiting for the livery-clad mice. Everyone but Sol...

Farm 4630: September 2008
http://farm4630.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
City girl tries for a bit of country. Tuesday, September 9, 2008. I returned home from a lovely bike ride on Sunday to find this. Yeah Ruby! And she's laid another little perfect world each afternoon since. Thursday, September 4, 2008. General (Tso's Chicken) Hospital. I walked back to find a very apologetic neighbor whose dogs had gotten out and had brought home a free range chicken dinner. Today, she's out in the tractor- those in the chicken know tell me that her chicken "friends" would be more than h...

Farm 4630: June 2010
http://farm4630.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
City girl tries for a bit of country. Friday, June 4, 2010. My first chicken spay. Well it's been a bit of a week! I adore my chickens. And Minerva and I have great history, since she survived her dog. Encounter. But even with that, I just couldn't swing the (very reasonable) $650 for surgery. With the avian specialist. However, she said it's straightforward surgery (no doubt for her it is). Since the other option was euthanasia, I gave it a go myself. Figuring out the anatomy. 1 3/4 pounds of oviduct!

Farm 4630: July 2008
http://farm4630.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
City girl tries for a bit of country. Sunday, July 27, 2008. The tour de coop- more to come. Thursday, July 24, 2008. The color of dinner. I picked a zucchini and cooked it up within 5 minutes of its trip indoors. It was sweet and fruity raw, then meaty sauteed with a bit of olive oil and pepper. I made this! And as I cut it I realized my bedroom is the exact, vibrant greeny. Yellow of the gently dewy insides. I'll sleep well tonight with courgettes inside and out. Wednesday, July 23, 2008. Though I can ...
