We’ve got a broody hen! And Blue’s got eggs in the incubator. THE RACE IS ON! Tune in to see which one will win, in which we finally answer once and for all, the greatest question known to mankind… which comes first, the chicken (Mrs. Broody) or the egg (incubator)??? Don’t miss this one. It is very funny.
It’s FINALLY time to PLANT! I didn’t get to garden last year because we were moving and I couldn’t wait to get my fingers back in the DIRT. My best duck buddy, Peepers, and his duck sidekick, Blondie, helped me with the weeding. Here’s a little shortie with fun music to celebrate planting season!
We are so excited to get our first garden going on the new homestead. This year we are trying Hugelkultur Gardening in raised garden beds. Our goal is to fill up all our beds for $0! Can we do it? We demonstrate the Hugelkultur Gardening method and of course add in some awesome music, lots of fun, and even a garden dance!
Our lives sure have changed since we left the city and moved out to the country to set up our homestead. Our mornings are very different now!
It all started when a farmer friend told me he was incubating some eggs from his muscovy ducks and asked if I wanted the babies. Well of course I said YES! One of them still hadn’t hatched when he brought them to us so he threw the incubator in his car and headed to Blue Eye. “Peepers” hatched in my hand!! And so began our Muscovy Duck adventure. We had no idea how big and fat they would get, or how much they could eat, or how messy they would be, or how funny and awkward and waddly they were… or how much we would fall madly in love with them! Please follow along as we raise our babies from cute little hatchlings to red knobby fat things. WE LOVE OUR MUSCOVY DUCKS!
Our first winter at the new homestead property has been full of trials, rewards, lessons, and wonder. Join us for one winter morning after a freak snowfall creates surprise headaches but also joy and so much beauty! This video is dedicated to our sweet Satchie dog who slipped into doggie heaven on January 20, 2022. We miss you, Satchers.
