past my knees. ❄️

back at it.
the boys coming into my life last year meant yogurt making, butter making, etc, all got put on hiatus.
they are just independent enough now that I can sneak in a batch to finish overnight. I usually do 3/4 batch to plain yogurt for cooking, baking etc and 1/4 with fruit on the bottom.

years ago I used to watch these videos when I was feeling anxious. I forgot about them. I rediscovered these amazing gems this evening when I recalled one of the scenes from these idyllic, soft, warm embrace of a film. get a cup of tea and enjoy the feed cleanser.

just this kind of thing, please. 📚

she doesn’t even stay away from the other chickens during the day. she just wants her own space at night. #metoogirl 🐓

glenn is the smoke master of this house. but today, I smoked my first hock.

no criticism allowed (lots of room for improvement I know), just appreciation for doing a thing in between twin naps, plus the smell of that autumn air + maple wood smoke = 👌🏼

when making stock for the freezers, labelling is imperative. Glenn helps by giving notes to help recall what this particular batch was like. this one was one of my favourites and quite specific. #sthubert 🐓

you’re definitely not supposed to let your basil plants flower. but if you do, it sure is pretty.

no time to carve your pumpkin?
have your chickens do it for you.

glenn is getting back into knitting. I asked him to make thumbless mittens for the boys. here is the first adorable pair. 🧶
