had a funny little case study this week where 2 of the guys had jock itch, one wanted to try an herbal remedy i had (calendula infused in coconut oil) and the other wanted the “real deal” pharmaceutical ointment. one cleared up the next day and the other still has some real deal jock itch…

she’s up!

rode an atv into the deep woods at dusk, saw a 300 year old red pine

my boyfriend does this thing where he just hands things to me when he’s done with them (like a coffee cup for example) so i’ve started cheers-ing him until he finds a place to set it down himself lol

besides touching their cute faces, my favorite thing about keeping pigs and chickens is that no food is ever wasted

why has no one made gaucho by steely dan into a broadway play? should i do this

the thing about the mosquitoes is they can travel through walls and bite through your clothes

this time one week from today we’ll have all the bents raised and a crane will have dropped our roof frame on top! here is a picture of half of an unfinished bent for reference

just gotta say i’m so sick of building this house this is the hardest thing i’ve ever done in my life good lord i can’t wait till it’s over!

god i accidentally killed my favorite chicken by closing the outhouse door on her neck and yet all of the chickens still come running over when i open the door and now i panic every time i have to pee 😵‍💫 this is such a bizarre problem to have

the loon song met the coyote howl

ah to be a bunny resting your little face on your bunny wife’s big fluffy ass

first egg from our young flock <3

picked berry’s at lou’s place, made black cap + raspberry sour dough pancakes with lots of butter + maple syrup

had a buddy ask me the other day “so you’re just living in the middle of the woods making a living doing witch stuff??” and i guess yeah that’s actually my life now which feels utterly baffling

this foundation was built on the backs of steely dan

developing stockholm syndrome for the mosquitoes, or maybe they passed on some sort of toxoplasmosis to me — i can’t help but admire their grace and stripey floaty bodies

today we completed the trap door that leads to our above-ground basement made of boulders

i hope these chickens lay as many eggs as they lay shits
