On the homestead blog for Caturday this week… pictures of cats! I bet you weren’t expecting that. #Caturday 🐈
Month: June 2020
Today’s flower: peony — three pictures of the same shrub near the cat house, from mid-May and end of May. 🌱
A pepperoni pizza made with Gus Mueller’s recipe and my sourdough starter, cooked in my indoor oven. Not my best shaping effort. A more interesting and chewy texture than my usual recipe, and turned out much better than my previous sourdough pizza attempt. 🍕
On the homestead blog: welcome to day two of the ducklings. They’ve settled into their routine: eat, drink, poop, scamper, sleep, and grow. That’s the life of a duckling, at least for the first couple of weeks. 🦆
A GIF of a deer munching grass in front of our beehives early this morning.
On the homestead blog: a regular Flock Friday post about wild birds, chickens, and our adult duck; more duckling pics later. #FlockFriday 🦆🐓
Today’s flowers are some irises in our fountain garden. 🌱
Today’s sourdough loaves turned out better than the last couple times, thanks to some tweaks (mainly reducing hydration). Still room for improvement, but getting there. 🍞
On the homestead blog: the first of many posts about new ducklings! 🦆
It’s duckling day! This morning I headed to the post office to pick them up (and get some gas for the mowers on the way). Here’s me in my beard-compatible mask for these pandemic days. (Stay tuned for lots of duckling pics.)
