The silkie pen

We've had a harrier (hawk) attack so our little birds- silkies, polkies and chicks- are in lockdown in the pen. Today was the first day that the chicks joined them, so there's a bit of bullying, but no worries! They are all now good friends :)

Gathering Wood

This is four small videos put together of Travis and I cutting down a tree and moving it to the house (And me chasing some turkeys back up from the pond)

Mama Tire

This is the last of my outdoor plants. I call her mama tire; she's planted in a tire and I took a bunch of clones off her earlier in the summer. She is over a year old; she is a clone I took off of last summer's "Mama tire". I kept her in a vegetative state all last winter so I'd have her for this summer. I took about 10 clones off her this summer and plan to keep two in a vegtivestate over the winter so I can do the same next summer. I have already removed a bunch of the bud off the top as it got a bit frost damaged. she was taller than the fence before I trimmed her.

Hard Frost

When I awoke this morning it was -1, feels like -5. hrd frost on the ground. the pumpkin patch is officially dead for the year. We went out and gathered the last of the gourds.

Checking geese eggs - 6 days into incubation

The geese tried really hard all spring/summer, but were unable to successfully hatch any babies. They recently started laying again and have set up a nest, so we stole two eggs and are attempting to incubate them ourselves so if the geese fail again, we'll have a gosling or two for them. Fingers crossed it works! we've never incubated geese eggs before.
