On the homestead blog: yesterday I evicted the chickens from our fenced vegetable garden, and prepared it for planting — which Jenn subsequently did. 🌱




Some of our ducks rooting around in the back lawn. 🦆

Sorry chickies, it’s time to evict you from the veggie garden, as we prepare it for planting. Thank you for cleaning it out over winter. I enticed them out via the mealworm roller toy, though Buffy looks disappointed by the closed gate. 🐓

On the homestead blog: this Caturday is a bit of a yawn… two yawns, actually. And some fun GIFs and such. #Caturday 🐈




Paladin and Rory being cute again. 🐈🐕




On the homestead blog: for Flock Friday this week, an assortment of chicken and duck pictures, plus more of nesting ducks and broody chickens. #FlockFriday 🦆🐓


For week/year 18 of my 52 years celebration, I actually don’t have any pictures of me from age 18 to 20, so I’m jumping ahead to a photo of my 21st birthday. #ThrowbackThursday #52years

Looking from the fountain garden towards the cat house, with a whirligig, irises, rocks, maple tree, bird feeders, the cat house, and more visible. 🌼

A recent @YellowCottageHomestead TikTok video of some ducks going into the pond:
A bright spot of color caught my eye in the flowerbeds. 🌼
