Beautiful Bounty

Well, after along onslaught of cold and windy temper mental weather,it seems spring/summer is finally upon us. And with that comes the wonderful growth of our beloved veggies and teenage hens.The days are lusciously long, the windows and doors wide open, the sound of lawn mowers and children playing permeate the air while dogs and chickens find cool shady spots to lie peacefully.It is all as slow as molasses and wonderful.

The chicken chateau is finally complete after way to many days off spent on hands and knees and annoying trips to the hardware store upon forgetting something. But alas, our little girls have moved on up in life and most importantly, out of our immediate hair.

To celebrate we threw a pot luck with all the the good people we knew coming out to help move the coop into place and reveling in the lovely weather and amazing food.

Thanks everyone for making the haul from Truckee to spend the evening...it was a treat.

Shanna has busied herself turning our kitchen into an experimental

herbal remedy science laboratory, furthering her love for natural healing modalities.

Best of all Romo and I are the default guinea pigs often embarrassingly smelling of lavender and rose. But we dare not complain.

The garden is coming along nicely with much growth in the past month. We are now regularly eating our lettuce, greens, peas and soon our young broccoli, carrots and beets.

With the warmth here to stay, our tomatoes, peppers and eggplant finally got in the ground and corn, sunflower, squash and cucumber seeds have all punched through the soil and are on their way.

Thanks to everyone for all the love and support you've given to us and this endeavor. More to come soon. Cheers.
