Dinner on the Farm

Papa and Ada Belle are ready for dinner! The perfect dinner companions xoxo! We had ginger chicken stir fry, with garlic, onion, fresh chopped ginger, celery, baby bok choy,carrots, mushrooms,and bean sprouts, with Jasmine rice and an orange.

Double the Fun!

It all started innocently enough with a cracker party in the kitchen!


Then the secret whispers between Aiden and Ada began...


...and someone had to make the first move.


The little cousins were off to a secret destination...


...the stairs! Aiden set the ground rules:


Ready! Set! Go! Go! Go!!


Aiden made it to the top and turned to coax his little cousin all the way up!


There were more whispy whispers...


...and giggling and celebrating of mission accomplished!

Farm Snow

Last week we had a beautiful snow storm in Southern Oregon. There was a good 6 inches of snow on the farm. These pictures were taken midway through the snow fall. Here is the story in pictures.
















It took two days for this snow to melt. There are a few patches remaining under the eves of the barn and we have promises in the weather report of my snow to fall! It is February after all!!

Farm Babies

We have babies on the farm!!

There are 27 baby chicks on the farm: Rhode Island Reds, Lacewing Wyandotte, and Araucona babies. They will be ready to lay eggs by about the first of August to add to our flock of hens already producing. The baby chicks arrived just in time to meet another baby!

Ada and her Mama are on the farm from Alaska visiting and playing with all of the animals. What a special time of year!

Winter Blues

This is one of my favorite pieces from my mom's kitchen that I remember as a young girl. It hangs in my kitchen now in just the right spot to get the end of the evening sun low in the sky.


The blue deviled egg dish is an old piece found in one of our local antique stores. It is not really an antique, but charming and ready to hold some delicious eggs.


Finally! The hens are starting to lay some beautiful blue eggs. The daylight is lengthening just enough to encourage a few more treasured eggs today. I wonder what kind of winter blues you find around your home.~
